Fixstars Corp <3687> surged to its daily limit in afternoon trading, climbing 400 yen to 1,970 yen. Around 11:30 a.m. on May 22, the company announced that a group firm launched "Amplify Quantum," an extension for its "Fixstars Amplify SDK" quantum computing software development environment, drawing buy orders. The extension simplifies connections to IBM Corp’s "IBM Quantum" and Amazon Web Services’ "Amazon Braket," enhancing support for gate-based quantum computers.

The stock had already been well-bid from the opening on broader sector tailwinds. On May 21, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it signed nine letters of intent (LOI) totaling $2.013 billion under the CHIPS and Science Act. This caused IBM?which is slated to receive $1 billion?to surge overnight, boosting investor appetite for quantum computing-related shares in Japan.
