In 2025, quantum computing has outperformed the stock market, with the Defiance Quantum ETF returning 8% so far this year. Popular quantum computing stocks include IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum.

Quantum computing is gaining popularity as a potential “next big thing” in the AI landscape. McKinsey & Company estimates the total addressable market for quantum computing to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Valuation trends for IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum show soaring share prices and pronounced levels of valuation expansion.
