Rekor Systems (REKR) Secures European Patent for AI Traffic Management Tech

We recently published a list of Top 10 Trending AI News On Wall Street’s Radar. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:REKR) stands against other top trending AI news on Wall Street’s radar.

As the DeepSeek-driven sell-off in US AI stocks started to fade, China is claiming advances in another new-age technology that can impact quantum computing stocks globally. Origin Quantum Computing Technology’s prototype received over 20 million remote visits worldwide, marking a major milestone in the mainland’s quantum computing landscape.

Although China has been viewed as lagging behind the US in quantum computing, it could be leading the race when it comes to quantum communications (quantum networking). China has consistently tested secure quantum communications in fiberoptic and satellite networks.

Elsewhere, physicists working in Google’s laboratory developed a new digital-analog quantum simulator that can study and calculate complex physical processes with unprecedented precision. The milestone has the potential to solve different challenges in diverse fields, from solid-state physics to astrophysics.

“Our research demonstrates that it is possible to create superconducting analog-digital quantum processors on a chip and that these are suitable as quantum simulators,” said Andreas Läuchli, one of the theoretical scientists involved in the breakthrough.

We selected AI stocks by reviewing news articles, stock analysis, and press releases. We listed the stocks in ascending order of their hedge fund sentiment taken from Insider Monkey’s database of 900 hedge funds.
