Quantum thesis
NVIDIA does not build quantum computers but supplies the GPU-based simulation and hybrid-classical infrastructure used by nearly every serious quantum hardware team. CUDA-Q is its platform for hybrid quantum-classical workloads and increasingly co-located GPU+QPU systems. Treat NVDA as a picks-and-shovels exposure rather than a direct quantum bet.

Amazon runs Amazon Braket, a cloud service that brokers access to multiple third-party quantum processors, and has its own Center for Quantum Computing at Caltech working on error-suppressed cat-qubit hardware. The thesis is similar to Microsoft's: cloud aggregation today, an in-house hardware bet for tomorrow.
