After Receiving $100 Million in Government Funding, Are Rigetti Computing and D-Wave Quantum the Best Quantum Computing Stocks?

The U.S. government invested up to $100 million each in quantum computing companies Rigetti Computing and D-Wave Quantum as part of a diversified bet on different quantum technologies. However, the analyst cautions that this government investment should not be viewed as validation of these specific stocks. Rigetti faces accuracy challenges with its superconducting approach, while D-Wave leads in annealing technology but has yet to prove its dual-rail qubit architecture claims. The analyst prefers trapped-ion technology companies like IonQ and Quantinuum due to their superior accuracy metrics.
