SEMICONDUCTOR & INFRASTRUCTURE
Quantum is one of the best performing sectors in market today as government is planning to spend $2 billion toward quantum technology and research. Strong momentum is coming back into quantum names as investors are positioning early for the next major technology cycle.
$IONQ$RGTI$QUBT$QBTS$INFQ$BTQ$ARQQ
Quantum Computing watchlist.
The sector is heating up and the pure-play names are worth knowing.
$IONQ — The blue chip of pure-plays. $130M revenue in 2025, guiding $225-245M for 2026. Cloud partnerships with AWS, Azure & Google. Most liquid, most institutional of the group.
$RGTI — Full-stack superconducting quantum. Air Force contracts, hybrid classical-quantum roadmap. High beta, high upside.
$QBTS — D-Wave’s annealing architecture is the most commercially mature. FY2025 revenue up 179% YoY to $24.6M. First Investor Day June 2026. Strong risk/reward in the group.
$QUBT — Smallest, highest beta. Photonics/entropy-based architecture. Deep speculative — dilution risk is real.
$ARQQ — Quantum-safe encryption play. Software/security layer of the quantum stack. Different risk profile than hardware names.
$INFQ — Most interesting new entrant. First neutral-atom quantum company to go public recently . $32.5M revenue in 2025, guiding $40M for 2026. NASA, DoD & NVIDIA partnerships. Most fundamentally credible of the smaller names.
$XNDU — Xanadu. First pure-play photonic quantum company to go public recently . Room-temperature light-based architecture — no supercooling needed. PennyLane open-source platform has 160K+ monthly downloads. Partners include Lockheed Martin, AMD & Applied Materials. Q1 earnings drop May 14. Pure narrative + capital flow momentum play right now — revenue is early stage but the photonics angle is real.
This basket trades like a speculative playground — 10-15% swings on no news are normal. Science is advancing faster than revenue. Revenue faster than profit. Speculative sleeve sizing only.
Not financial advice.
QUANTUM COMPUTING — THE NEXT BIG TECH WAVE
The quantum race isn’t coming — it’s already here.
→ $1.9B market in 2025
→ Heading toward $9B+ near term
→ Long-term potential: $45B–$131B
→ $55B+ already invested globally
Why it matters:
AI is hitting limits. Quantum is the next unlock.
Governments, defense, finance, and pharma are already deploying early use cases.
The opportunity spans multiple layers:
Large caps: $MSFT$GOOGL$IBM
Pure plays: $IONQ$QBTS$RGTI
Emerging bets: $QUBT$ARQQ
Diversified: $QTUM
Other: $BTQ$LASE$XNDU$INFQ
⚠️ Reality check:
This is a high-risk, long-term sector
• Many companies are pre-profit
• Dilution risk is real
• True scale likely later this decade
Quantum today feels like AI in 2018 — early, volatile, but transformational.
The window is open… not for long.
