Investing in Quantum Computing Stocks
Here is a list of stocks of U.S. companies that are quantum computing pure play investments. These companies are focused on creating quantum computing hardware, software, and quantum-simulating applications.
We are adding information on Zapata Computing Holdings Inc. ZPTA
This is a software and services firm.
United States - pure play quantum computer supplier:
IonQ, Inc., IONQ
Rigetti Computing, Inc., RGTI
Canada - pure play quantum computer supplier:
D-Wave Quantum Inc., QBTS
United Kingdom - pure play:
Arqit Quantum Inc., ARQQ (secure communications)
Quantum simulation software
Quantum Computing Inc., QUBT (software
List of companies with small* quantum computing programs:
US quantum computing program - quantum computer supplier
International Business Machines Corporation, IBM
Honeywell International Inc., HON
Alphabet Inc. (dba: Google), GOOG
US quantum computing program - quantum computer access
Amazon.com, Inc., AMZN
Microsoft Corporation, MSFT
Chinese quantum computing program
Alibaba Group Holding Limited, BABA - Cancelled their quantum computing program
Tencent Holdings Limited, TCEHY - Quantum related analytics
There are long-term traded stock warrants on Arqit, Rigetti, D-Wave and IonQ:
ARQQW
RGTIW
QBTS-WT
IONQ-WT
Other Considerations:
One thing is certain, the companies that we know with a material focus on quantum computing have very high market valuations. In our opinion, this is because companies, or governments, need to be very well funded to spend on a longer-term investment like quantum computing.

Other Considerations:
- There are many other companies that are building their business that are not yet listed on US stock exchanges.
- There are large companies with early-stage quantum computing programs (e.g., creating quantum applications) that will take advantage of quantum computing in their business, either by creating new capabilities or improved optimization.
- One company, Honeywell, spun out their quantum computing business with a quantum consultancy.
- How to buy quantum computing stocks: very carefully. These pure-play companies are in the experimental phase and have not scaled into commercial production. These companies will need to raise and spend capital on developing quantum computers on scale, and there is a risk that they will either not succeed, or that their products will not be commercially acceptable. Buyer beware.

Alibaba canceled its quantum computing program (specifically its quantum computing research lab), as announced by Bloomberg and Jane Zhang on November 27, 2023 in a cost-cutting move.
This suggests that quantum computing research is for companies with both access to R&D capital and long-term development time horizons. It is an aspirational investment in a potentially high-return technology that requires capital, expertise and close oversight to protect IP, cultivate innovation, build an expert team, partner across the hardware, software, storage, networking and political ecosystem, all while maintaining a focus on potential market requirements that customers will pay for.
Companies require a long-term investment horizon to invest in quantum today, not just size.
