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.

Intel is pursuing silicon spin qubits, an approach that would let it manufacture quantum processors using existing CMOS fabrication infrastructure. Progress has been steady but quiet compared to IBM and Google. Quantum is immaterial to Intel earnings and the stock primarily trades on its core foundry and PC-CPU narrative.
