Many quantum computing stocks exploded in value last year as investors hoped to get ahead of the crowd in what could be a transformational wave of new technology. Excitement grew

Trapped-ion quantum computing leader IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is emerging as a potential leader in the commercialization of quantum computing through its trapped-ion technology approach. Unlike traditional superconducting quantum competitors,

The stocks were slammed last week, when Nvidia’s CEO said it would take decades for the technology to become “very useful.”

Though investors saw this as disappointing, there is some reassuring news. Quantum computing is progressing, meaning these companies will likely report accomplishments and milestones in the months and years to come -- and these represent catalysts for quantum computer stocks to climb.

Quantum computing was one of the hot trends of the past few months as stocks have doubled or more following Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Willow announcement. Investors looking for any way to play the quantum computing space have pushed microcap stocks into the stratosphere.

Rigetti (RGTI) is dropping 23%, while IonQ (IONQ) is giving back 10% and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), which disclosed today that it may sell more shares of its stock, is plunging nearly 30%. The sector is dropping sharply again after Meta (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggested that quantum computing would not be “practical” for a long time.

Quantum computing has suddenly become a buzzword on Wall Street. Ever since Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) reported that it hit a new milestone with Willow, its new quantum chip, quantum stocks have been soaring.

At the CES 2025, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claimed useful Quantum Computing was at least 15 years away. This caused the stock prices of many quantum computing stocks to crash considerably.

Quantum computing, a transformative leap in technology, harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems far beyond the reach of classical computers. In today’s digital world, where data and computational prowess dictate innovation,

Just when you may have finally gotten your head around the opportunity in artificial intelligence (AI), a new investment opportunity has popped up. Quantum computing is the latest “new thing” among technology stocks.
