Better Quantum Computing Stock: Rigetti Computing vs. D-Wave Quantum
Quantum computing could make it easier to process massive amounts of information in the near future. Unlike traditional computers, which still store data in binary bits of zeros and ones, quantum computers can store them simultaneously in qubits.
That approach enables quantum computers to process data much faster than binary computers, but the ones in operation now are also larger, more expensive, and consume more power while making more mistakes than binary computers. Those shortcomings are preventing quantum computers from being used for mainstream applications, so they're still mainly used for niche research purposes.
