Quantum-computing stocks are lower, and although they’re small and not making much money, an escalating trade war could complicate their businesses.

Quantum computing has captured the imagination of investors. Despite the tech's multidecade timeline to maturity and possible widespread use, most quantum computing stocks have soared since President Trump's election victory last November.

Investors are always on the lookout for the next big thing, and following the success of AI in recent years, it’s no surprise to see stocks in

The Nvidia CEO, who made Elon Musk and Larry Ellison "beg" for more AI GPUs, argued that quantum computing remains unreliable. Huang said that “very useful quantum computers” are probably two decades down the road.

High-risk and potentially high-reward quantum computing stocks include Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and IonQ. Established players such as Google parent Alphabet, Microsoft, IBM, and Honeywell are also quantum computing leaders.

Quantum computing is still in its infancy but holds significant potential to transform industries, particularly when integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). Unlike traditional computers, which process data using bits that can be either zero or one,
