IonQ vs. Rigetti Computing: Which Pure-Play Quantum Stock Actually Has the Technology Edge?
IonQ and Rigetti Computing are pursuing quite different technologies in their efforts to build commercially viable quantum computers.
Overview
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) are taking entirely different technological routes in their efforts to build useful quantum computers.
IonQ uses trapped-ion technology, where individual charged atoms held in place by precise electromagnetic fields serve as qubits, the basic units of information in any quantum computer. Rigetti Computing uses superconducting qubits, which are tiny electrical circuits cooled to extremely low temperatures.
