Nvidia in advanced talks to invest in PsiQuantum, The Information reports
(Reuters) -Nvidia is in advanced talks to invest in quantum computing startup PsiQuantum, The Information reported on Sunday.
Nvidia and PsiQuantum declined to comment on the report.
Reuters reported in March that PsiQuantum is raising at least $750 million from investors including BlackRock at a $6 billion pre-money valuation.
Quantum technology has the potential to perform types of calculations that would stump even the most powerful artificial intelligence systems that use Nvidia chips and could unlock a host of scientific and commercial applications, including cybersecurity.
Nvidia's recent investment signals a shift in its quantum computing stance. In March, CEO Jensen Huang announced a new quantum computing research lab in Boston, set to collaborate with Harvard and MIT scientists, despite earlier stating that practical quantum computers were likely 20 years away.
PsiQuantum, unlike quantum computing startups relying on exotic materials, leverages conventional semiconductor manufacturing techniques.
The company is working with the governments in Australia and the United States to build two quantum computers in the coming years - one in Brisbane and the other in Chicago.

Jim Cramer on NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)'s Chips: 'We Only Have One Ace in Our Hand'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. Discussing NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Cramer said if the president wants to win, he needs to 'show his trump card, NVIDIA'. 'So, how could the president turn around these negotiations with the Chinese? Okay, so I've been thinking about this. I always like to be constructive. I'm a constructive fella… We only have one ace in our hand, and apparently, we don't want to play it, the chips from NVIDIA. Under the previous administration, NVIDIA was allowed to sell China high-quality chips, but not their best stuff, which were reserved for America and a bizarre list of 18 friendly countries. Now, the Trump administration won't even let NVIDIA sell their second or third best stuff. As CEO Jensen Huang said on our show, it's logical to presume that China won't use these chips for the military precisely because they're American chips… A close-up of a colorful high-end graphics card being plugged in to a gaming computer. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) develops computing, graphics, and networking technologies, including AI software, data center systems, gaming GPUs, autonomous driving platforms, and tools for digital twins and enterprise AI adoption.

Jim Cramer on Broadcom (AVGO): 'I'm Not Buying the Bear Case'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. Cramer started his 52-week high list with Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) as he commented: 'It's important to realize, though, that tech's not well-represented in the 52-week hot list. In fact, there was only one big one, that's Broadcom, which reported a small top and bottom line beat after the close with solid guidance for the current quarter. But the stock is just getting hammered in after-hours trading. Now, I think the stock simply came in too hot, given how much it's run from the April lows. I'm not buying the bear case, which is based on some narrower margins on custom-made chips that it does. It's just that tech stocks are under pressure and Broadcom wouldn't be spared today whether it reported or not, and people should recognize that instead of freaking out. It's up 12% for the year.'

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) develops and supplies a wide range of semiconductor devices, including custom chips for networking, wireless communication, broadband, storage, and industrial applications. Overall, AVGO ranks 1st on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
