Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Next generation computing prototypes are finally out there. Despite still being in nascent stages, quantum computers are now being rolled out by major companies such as Intel, IBM and Google. We have covered the science behind the technology and the need for such a massive technological turnaround in the computing landscape in our pieces Cryogenic Memory: Computers from Deep Space? and Quantum Computing: Trends to Look Out For. In this piece, we look at some of the quantum computers that are around at present, and the different techniques being used by the big four computer developers in the quantum computing landscape.

Are Quantum Computers Finally Here?
