Quantum computing promises to solve problems that are computationally intractable for classical computers, with potential applications in drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, and cryptography. IonQ develops trapped-ion quantum computers and was one of the first pure-play quantum companies to list on public markets. D-Wave Quantum and Rigetti Computing pursue different hardware architectures — annealing and superconducting qubits respectively — in an industry still years from broad commercial deployment but attracting significant investor attention.
