Want to Invest in Quantum Computing? 3 Stocks That Are Great Buys Right Now
D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and IonQ deserve a closer look.
Quantum computing is often considered the next frontier for the tech industry. Unlike traditional computers, which store their data separately in binary bits of zeros and ones, quantum computers can process those bits simultaneously in qubits. That difference allows them to process a lot more data at a faster rate than traditional binary computers.
However, quantum computers are also bigger, pricier, and consume more power while outputting a higher ratio of errors than traditional computers. That's why they're still mainly used by government agencies and universities for niche research applications.
