Motley Fool recommends IonQ, D-Wave and Nvidia quantum stocks
4 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · May 3
The picks span pure-play quantum firms and chipmaker Nvidia, which is backing hybrid quantum-classical computing through CUDA-Q, NVQLink and an AI model for error correction.
IonQ was highlighted for record quantum accuracy and a recent DARPA contract, while D-Wave was cited for quantum annealing systems already used in optimisation tasks such as logistics and scheduling.
The report said both specialist quantum companies remain unprofitable, with D-Wave posting $24.6m in 2025 revenue against $121m in operating expenses, underscoring the sector's long-term, high-risk investment case.
As pure-play quantum firms burn cash, is Nvidia's hybrid model the only truly viable investment in the quantum race?
With code-breaking 'Q-day' looming, how will the national security race reshape the commercial quantum market?
