Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) surged in the week ending June 6th due to positive earnings reports, analyst upgrades, and major industry developments, namely:.

• Q1 earnings showed a net gain of 37.5% to $0.11 per share, up from $0.08 last year, but it should be noted that much of this gain was a matter of accounting, not a material improvement in its business.
