Trump's executive order for a US quantum computer at a national lab by 2028, with the post-quantum encryption deadline pulled to 2031, makes quantum a strategic industry funded like chips and nuclear. Rigetti, D-Wave and Infleqtion each got $100M with the government as shareholder. IonQ leads on revenue via direct defense contracts, with Q1 revenue up 755% to $64.7M. Quantum Computing Inc is a lottery ticket at ~635x sales; the Defiance ETF is a basket. Backing de-risks science, not valuations. … Show more

The US government becoming a quantum investor makes some exposure to quantum computing stocks sensible, including IBM, GlobalFoundries, D-Wave, Rigetti and Infleqtion. x.com  x.com 

Quantinuum's IPO will show the market how far IonQ, Rigetti and D-Wave lag on logical qubits, the metric that matters for fault-tolerant computing, and that gap will soon be priced. Quantinuum has 48 logical qubits on Helios versus zero or few at the listed names. The IPO crowns the fault-tolerance leader, not the sector winner: IonQ pursues vertical integration across networking, security and defense, Rigetti bets on superconducting scale, and all must turn capability into revenue. x.com 

Quantum computing is a race whose winners get pricing power over the hardest problems; Google's CEO says quantum is where AI was five years ago. IonQ leads with Q2 revenue of $80.1 million, up 287%. D-Wave alone is in commercial production; Rigetti grew revenue 173%. IBM targets fault tolerance in 2029, Alphabet's Willow began the cycle, Xanadu is photonic, Infleqtion has federal backing, Quantum Computing Inc. is speculative, Arqit sells post-quantum security; an ETF holds the field. x.com  … Show more

Quantum computing stocks such as IonQ, Rigetti, Quantum Computing Inc, Arqit, SEALSQ, BTQ and HQ could catch a bid around Quantinuum's IPO. Quantinuum is raising about $1.46 billion at a roughly $14 billion valuation, the first traditional IPO of a full-stack quantum company, anchored by long-only demand. Big IPOs reprice whole sectors as allocators who missed the deal seek liquid exposure, as with Cerebras and SpaceX. The driver is positioning, not fundamentals, so these are very risky trades. … Show more

Quantinuum's IPO adds yet another ridiculously valued company to the quantum sector rather than changing its dynamics. Comparing these companies on technology or business model is like counting angels on a pin. Even Infleqtion trades at 100x revenue and loses a dollar for every dollar of revenue it makes. x.com 

Quantum computing is getting billions of dollars from the White House while the market is already building positions, and the technology, though still early, will accelerate drug discovery, cybersecurity, logistics, materials science and financial modeling. Early positioning should pay off over the next five years across pure plays such as IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave and Quantum Computing Inc., big tech builders IBM, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Nvidia, and quantum ETFs. x.com 

IonQ, Rigetti and Infleqtion are the next stocks Trump is effectively calling, now that he says the US aims to have a quantum computer for scientific discovery by 2028. His earlier signals preceded big gains in Intel, Dell and Micron. x.com 

Rigetti shareholders face $100M of dilution from a Commerce Department deal that is expected to take an equity stake when the company is not lacking funding. The letter of intent provides up to $100M over three years under the CHIPS Act for superconducting quantum R&D. x.com 

Quantum computing is becoming a strategic policy priority, with the latest executive order adding to capital already flowing into the theme. Pure-play hardware names IonQ, Infleqtion, Rigetti, D-Wave and Quantum Computing, plus diversified anchor IBM, stand to gain. It is still early, but momentum keeps building. x.com
