Will This Quantum Computing Stock Be a Must-Own in 2025?

Quantum computing has received some recent investing interest over the past month thanks to Google's breakthrough in its Willow quantum computing chip. This chip beat a benchmark test that would have taken the fastest supercomputer 10 septillion years (26 trailing zeros!) to complete.Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is a much larger business with investments in quantum computing, not a pure-play investment. However, there are a few pure plays around, and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is one of them. With quantum computing picking up steam, is IonQ a must-buy?First, let's talk about quantum computing (without getting too deep into the weeds). Traditional computing processes information in bits, which only transmits information in a binary manner (1s and 0s). Quantum computing is different. It transmits information in a number between 1 and 0, which gives it infinitely more ways to transmit information than standard computing. However, there's a catch. Because quantum computing doesn't transmit a 1 or a 0, some estimating errors can be involved. This problem has plagued many quantum computers, but Google's Willow chip seemed to have solved this problem based on how it arranges qubits within the chip.Continue readingWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool
