This stock has risen 600% in a year.

Archer Materials [ASX:AXE] is a technology company developing materials in computing, biotechnology, and lithium-ion batteries, as well as exploring for minerals in Australia. An unusual combination for a tech company.

But another difference with Archer is it is one of the few stocks that can give an investor exposure to what many believe is the holy grail of computing, quantum computing.

Archer has been invited into the prestigious IBM quantum research world and is working on developing a quantum computer processor that can operate at room temperature.

Heat generation is one of many big challenges in quantum computing.

If Archer can develop such a processor it would be a big deal.

If you'd like to understand more about quantum computing, this article by Norman Quesnel, a Senior Member of Marketing Staff at Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) is one of the simplest and clearest explanations I have read on the subject.

Archer Materials boasts strong intellectual property, broad-scope mineral tenements, world-class in-house expertise, a unique materials inventory, and access to over $300 million of technology development infrastructure.
