Peggy’s Tech Blog:
Quantum for Finance and Telco
f you have been following along here this month, then you know I have been in the middle of this fun blog series, digging into quantum. This has truly been an interesting deep dive into what’s on the horizon vertically. If you read my Connected World blog to kick off the month, then you know I unpacked the basics of quantum. Last week, I dove deeper into quantum in manufacturing and in medical. Today let’s turn our attention to two new verticals: finance and telco.
Quantum in Finance
McKinsey & Co., suggests quantum technology will impact many industries, but there are four big ones that will see the most growth including chemicals, life sciences, finance, and mobility industries. Let’s take a moment to count our way into the numbers by looking at the financial picture.
The Lithium Boom Is Heating Up
Lithium stock prices grew 2X+ from June to January. $ALB climbed 227%. $LAC hit 151%. $SQM, 159%. But the real winner may be a private stock, EnergyX. Their tech can recover 3X more lithium than traditional methods, leading General Motors to invest. Now they’re preparing to unlock up to 9.8M tons of lithium. Buy private EnergyX shares alongside 40k+ people before EnergyX’s share price increases after 2/26.

Expert Opinion:
Woof! All Bark and No Bite (for Now)
This popped up in a recent edition of Wired magazine, featuring the upcoming use of “robot dogs” to enhance security at a major public event.
Robots used for security at major venues are not new. Back in 2018, I met B-3PO (“she” was intentionally designated as a female) at New York’s LaGuardia Airport Terminal B.
As I was entering the terminal, she rolled up to me and stopped. I had a “conversation” with her (and found out later that the robot had a realtime connection to a real NYC police officer (a lady) that could make the conversation seem “real”).
