Big Curt : this guys has done no research
Strain : why do you say so....I mean I assume u have done the research...wd like to hear POV n not just opinion
72321440 OP Big Curt : You’re an investor in quantum companies. I have a lot of respect for IonQ’s academic achievements. Their technique is to use trapped ions, which is literally what it sounds like, to store quantum information, instead of the superconducting transmon circuits that are popular in industry. These ions are held at room temperature, which is a strong advantage over superconducting. However, they have to be put in extremely low-pressure vacuums and controlled with lasers to have almost zero energy. The general view of industry players is that ion traps are too sensitive to be useful. The company has talked about putting out a 100-qubit computer called Tempo by the end of this year. Unfortunately, IBM is already far ahead of this scale. Yhe movement and timing of government contracts may be misrepresenting IonQ’s position as a leader in the field. Right now, the publicly traded quantum computing stocks are the only pure-plays in this area accessible to investors. There is no reason to buy Google or IBM for their quantum efforts. Quantinuum and other exciting companies are private. So, the impression for retail investors is to buy these 3rd-tier stocks because they’re the only ones which can move substantially. Despite its marginally higher revenue, mostly from their Air Force contract, IonQ is still behind all of the serious quantum players: IBM, Google, Quantinuum (private) and PsiQuantum (private). The most advanced IonQ machine on AWS Braket is the Forte 1, a mere 36-qubit machine. As I write, the Forte 1, which is $7,000 per hour, went on an unscheduled maintenance recently; my experiments with IBM’s machine lead me to believe that even their stable, less error-prone, 128-qubit machines are useless. IonQ is not even close to 128 qubits! So, the premium of IonQ over Rigetti seems very unwarranted, and it is probably an even better short.
StockPeep : People who talk like this obviously have a short position. Just ignore them
72321440 OP StockPeep : I don’t have a position in any of these companies. I have better positions to play off. I’m just stating the facts. It’s free money, as it’s essentially a scam.
