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.

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.
