Quantum Computing

The pure-play lottery tickets + the de-risked big-tech option

Quantum computing — the highest-risk/highest-reward theme here. The pure-plays trade on extreme multiples with minimal revenue and headline-driven swings; the real, profitable exposure is an embedded option inside mega-caps. Curated structure; live delayed prices. Not investment advice.

Highly speculative theme: many names here are clinical-stage / early / extreme-multiple, with large drawdown and total-loss risk. For research only — not investment advice.
1

Pure-Plays

Standalone quantum-hardware companies — tiny revenue, extreme valuation multiples, binary outcomes. Lottery-ticket risk/reward.

IONQSpec
—
IonQ

Trapped-ion approach; largest pure-play by revenue and the most commercially advanced of the four.

RGTISpec
—
Rigetti Computing

Superconducting-qubit approach; tiny revenue, extreme multiple, headline-driven.

QBTSSpec
—
D-Wave Quantum

Quantum annealing for optimization workloads — closest to commercial use-cases among the pure-plays.

QUBTSpec
—
Quantum Computing Inc.

Photonic quantum-as-a-service; smallest and most speculative of the four, minimal revenue.

2

Big-Tech & Enabling Exposure

The de-risked way to own the theme: profitable mega-caps where quantum is a small embedded option, not the whole thesis.

IBM
—
IBM

Most advanced enterprise quantum roadmap among mega-caps (hardware + cloud access).

GOOGL
—
Alphabet

Leading quantum research (error-correction milestones); a tiny option inside a profitable mega-cap.

NVDA
—
NVIDIA

Quantum-classical hybrid / GPU-accelerated quantum simulation (CUDA-Q) + control-systems partnerships.
