IonQ vs Rigetti Computing vs D-Wave Quantum Stocks on October 23, 2025

IonQ vs Rigetti Computing vs D-Wave Quantum Stocks on October 23, 2025

This week’s frenzy began with a WSJ report that President Trump’s administration was discussing taking ownership stakes in certain quantum computing startups in return for federal R&D fundingfastcompany.comreuters.com. D-Wave, IonQ and Rigetti were named in those talksfastcompany.com. Tech blogs and TS2.tech quickly summarized the news: “Trading platforms instantly flagged quantum tickers as top gainers,” noting the Commerce Dept. would inject at least $10M per companyts2.tech. Rigetti even issued a statement to Fast Company arguing that “Government investment has long been vital to maintaining America’s technological leadership…The same holds true for quantum computing today,” warning that if the U.S. doesn’t lead on quantum, others willfastcompany.com.

Citing Wall Street Journal sources, U.S. officials are now treating commercial quantum computing as a strategic sector. Under Secretary Gina Raimondo’s reorganized Chips R&D Office, the Commerce Department is reportedly willing to “go deep” in quantum startups – becoming shareholders in exchange for government R&D grantsreuters.comcm.asiae.co.kr. This extends Trump’s “government-as-shareholder” industrial policy in tech; for example, in August the administration agreed to convert nearly $9 billion in CHIPS Act grants into a 10% equity stake in Intelreuters.comcm.asiae.co.kr. The quantum proposals would similarly tie about $10 million of support per company to a U.S. equity investmentreuters.comcm.asiae.co.kr.

Nasdaq’s Wild 48 Hours: Fed Jitters, Tech Tumbles & Surprise Rallies – Sept 23–24 Roundup

Wall Street’s bull run hit turbulence on Tuesday, Sept. 23, after Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a balanced but cautious tone in his remarks. Speaking six days after the Fed’s first rate cut of 2025, Powell emphasized the “no risk-free path”forward – the central bank must tame inflation without unduly harming the now-weakening job market. Notably, he warned that equity valuations appeared “fairly highly valued,” a signal that the recent surge in stocks may have outpaced fundamentals. This lack of a clear green light on further rate relief rattled investors who had been banking on more easy money. Powell “left the door open for another rate cut” but gave “really no hint of when and how much” it might be, explained Peter Cardillo of Spartan Capital. That ambiguity “began to sell off” the overheated market, which was “ripe for some sort of a pullback,” Cardillo noted. All three major indexes fell in response. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped about 0.9% Tuesday, leading the declines. The S&P 500 slid roughly 0.6% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average about 0.2%, snapping a streak of record closes in all three indices. In fact, both the Dow and S&P 500 had set fresh intraday

Quantum Showdown: Superconducting vs Trapped Ion vs Photonic – Who Will Rule Quantum Computing?

Quantum Showdown: Superconducting vs Trapped Ion vs Photonic – Who Will Rule Quantum Computing?

Quantum computing is advancing at a breakneck pace, with several rival technologies vying for the crown. In particular, superconducting qubits, trapped-ion qubits, and photonic qubits have emerged as leading platforms. Each uses a very different physical system to create quantum bits, and each comes with its own strengths, challenges, and big-name supporters. Tech giants like IBM and Google are betting on superconducting circuits, IonQ and Quantinuum champion trapped ions, and innovators like PsiQuantum and Xanadu push photonic approaches biforesight.com. This report compares these three quantum hardware platforms – from how their qubits work and perform, to who’s building them and what’s coming next – and examines which might dominate in the near term and long term. Superconducting quantum computers use tiny electrical circuits cooled to nearly absolute zero. In this platform, qubits are made from superconducting materials that carry currents with zero resistance at cryogenic temperatures thequantuminsider.com. Each qubit is essentially a microscopic Josephson junction circuit where quantum information is stored in electromagnetic states controllable by microwave pulses thequantuminsider.com.
