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.

D-Wave is the only public pure-play on quantum annealing, an approach optimized for combinatorial-optimization problems rather than universal gate-based computation. The company also offers a gate-model roadmap and a Leap cloud service, but its differentiator is annealing hardware that is already in commercial deployment with customers in logistics and finance.
