Quantum Computing extended its winning streak to a third straight day on Friday, soaring 23.22 percent to close at $24.62 apiece, as optimism and developments in the overall sector spilled over to its stock.

The rally can be attributed to its counterparts’ newly bagged partnerships and investments, including D-Wave Quantum Computing’s partnership with the North Wales Police, which helped significantly improve police incident response by 50 percent after leveraging its hybrid quantum computer to optimize placements of police vehicles for emergency response.

According to D-Wave, this resulted in a faster, more accurate, and efficient solution than classical methods alone.
