IBM -- Quantum Computing -- July 24, 2025

Locator: 48822QUANTUM.

Wow, opportunities never end. 

Over the past few years I've missed a few tectonic shifts in "the market." 

Most recently, I was concerned that I missed the "quantum computing" shift, but felt that I had plenty of time.
This is one of those days that I'm happy that I post "stuff" other than just news about the Bakken -- see the note below the fold regarding "leading quantum computing companies."
There are days I worry that IBM could go the way of Intel but yesterday's comments from the IBM CEO and ChatGPT's comments from June suggest otherwise.

*****************************
Leading Quantum Computing Companies

First question to ask ChatGPT: what are the leading five companies in quantum computing?

I'll list the five but it does you, the reader, and ChatGPT a huge disservice. It's not enough to know the top five but also why these are the top five and the start-ups not among the top five.

The top five:

  • IBM
  • Google (Alphabet)
  • IonQ
  • Rigetti computing
  • Quantiuum (Honeywell + Cambridge Quantum mergers

Honorable mentions:

  • Microsoft
  • D-Wave
  • Alibaba
  • PsiQuantum
