Quantum thesis
Rigetti is a pure-play superconducting quantum computing company that designs its own multi-chip processors and operates a quantum cloud platform. The thesis rests on superconducting qubits being the same architecture used by IBM and Google, with Rigetti positioned as the smallest-cap way to own that approach. Execution risk is high, revenue is research-grade, and the share count has expanded materially.

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.
