Better Quantum Computing Stock: Alphabet vs. IonQ
Yahoo Finance ·
Although artificial intelligence (AI) investing steals most of the spotlight, there's another upcoming technology that will drive another investing rush: quantum computing. Quantum computing has the potential to provide several amazing breakthroughs, and the companies that dominate this sector will see major growth and huge returns for investors. This isn't some fly-by-night technology; major tech companies and start-ups alike are trying to bring the best product to market and establish themselves as the go-to quantum computing provider, similar to how Nvidia ( NVDA 1.42% ) did with its graphics processing units (GPUs) in the AI build-out. Two names that often come up in this area are Alphabet ( GOOG 2.15% ) ( GOOGL 1.73% ) and IonQ ( IONQ 2.47% ) . This is a David-and-Goliath matchup, as Alphabet has significant resources, while IonQ is starting from scratch. Still, IonQ has a great product that's turning a lot of heads, but which is the better bet? Let's take a look. There isn't one established way to do quantum computing, which is why there are so many competitors in the space. The most popular type of quantum computing is known as superconducting, which involves cooling a chamber to near absolute zero, then utilizing a particle within that chamber to perform calculations. Alphabet employs this approach and is actively working on improving its scale and accuracy.
