Key Points
IonQ has experienced an 812% increase in stock price over the past year, resulting in a market capitalization of approximately $22 billion. The company, known for its trapped ion technology and partnerships with major cloud providers like Microsoft and Amazon, remains a key player in the quantum computing sector.
In contrast, Quantinuum recently raised $600 million in funding, bringing its valuation to $10.6 billion. Backed by investors including Nvidia, Honeywell, and JPMorgan Chase, Quantinuum’s growth reflects the significant economic potential of quantum computing, estimated to be in the trillions according to McKinsey & Company.
Investors can gain indirect exposure to Quantinuum by purchasing stocks in companies that are equity holders in it, such as Nvidia and Amgen, rather than waiting for an initial public offering.
