QUANTUM COMPUTING β The Full Sector Map. Every Play. One Post.
PURE-PLAY QUANTUM
$IONQ β Trapped-ion leader. Best-in-class qubit fidelity. Customers include Airbus, AstraZeneca, Hyundai. 256-qubit demo targeted 2026. The institutional-grade pure-play.
$RGTI β Superconducting quantum systems. Highest beta in the sector. When quantum runs,
$RGTI moves violently. Active momentum name right now.
$QBTS β D-Wave Quantum. Annealing-based architecture. Most commercially de-risked pure-play β already generating optimization revenue with real enterprise clients.
$QUBT β Photonic room-temperature quantum. Q1 2026 revenue up from $39K β $3.7M YoY. Acquired Luminar Semiconductor for $110M. Vertically integrated photonics quantum platform taking shape. Executing quietly.
$INFQ β Neutral-atom quantum sensing. One of the least-covered names in the sector. Neutral-atom architecture is gaining credibility as a scalable path to fault tolerance. Early but worth watching.
$ARQQ β Quantum encryption and post-quantum cybersecurity. The national security angle. As quantum breaks classical encryption β this becomes critical infrastructure.
$LAES β Quantum-resistant cybersecurity chips. Hardware-level protection against quantum decryption. Defense enterprise security tailwind.
BIG TECH
$IBM β Most mature public quantum roadmap. 1000 qubit processors live. Fault-tolerant systems targeted ~2029. Every enterprise quantum conversation starts here.
$GOOGL β Willow chip demonstrated a landmark quantum error correction milestone. Google doesnβt lose science races. This is a long-term compounder with quantum upside baked in.
$MSFT β Topological qubit breakthrough. Azure Quantum as the monetization layer. Full-stack quantum integrator play for the enterprise cloud era.
$AMZN β AWS Braket quantum cloud. Positioned as the access layer for quantum-as-a-service. Already charging enterprises for quantum compute access today.
$NVDA β Quantum-AI software stack integration. CUDA for quantum is the longer-term thesis.
$NVDA doesnβt need to win quantum β it needs to be the layer everything runs on top of.
$INTC β Silicon-spin qubit research. The most scalable long-term architecture thesis β leveraging existing CMOS manufacturing. Slow, but strategically important.
$HON β Majority stake in Quantinuum β the most commercially advanced quantum hardware software company currently private. When Quantinuum IPOs,
$HON re-rates hard.
$BAH β Booz Allen Hamilton. Deep in U.S. government quantum programs. Every federal quantum contract flows through firms like this. The picks-and-shovels of government quantum.
SEMICONDUCTOR & INFRASTRUCTURE
$GFS β GlobalFoundries. Quantum chip manufacturing capabilities. As quantum hardware scales, fab demand follows.
$MU β Memory quantum infrastructure angle. Quantum systems require extreme classical compute support β
$MU sits in that stack.
$AMD β HPC quantum research ecosystem. High-performance classical compute is the co-processor to every near-term quantum system.
$TSM β TSMC. Advanced fabrication is the foundation of every quantum chip roadmap. No quantum at scale without
$TSM.
$ASML β EUV lithography critical for next-generation quantum chip manufacturing. The irreplaceable chokepoint in advanced semiconductor production.
QUANTUM NETWORKING / OPTICAL / SECURITY
