One of the most interesting opportunities available to us today is AI. Having all the companies listed in the ChatGPT message in my portfolio, I was curious about its choice. Let’s look at the original text of its response.
If I were choosing from these four — IONQ, RGTI, QBTS, QUBT — I would invest in IonQ (IONQ). Here’s why — plus the risks to watch out for.
Why IONQ Seems Most Attractive
1. Technology Leader and IP
- IonQ develops quantum computers based on trapped ions, which is considered one of the most promising approaches in terms of fidelity, coherence time, and potential scalability.
- The company is actively expanding its intellectual property portfolio: licenses, patents, acquisitions (for example, Oxford Ionics) strengthen the technological base. IONQ
2. Revenue Growth and Operational Prospects
- IonQ’s revenue in the last quarter grew by approximately 80+% year-over-year, indicating strong momentum. StockStory
- Forecasts for future quarters also look realistically positive, with the company expecting significant revenue growth. Quantum Computing Report
3. Strategic Acquisitions
- Acquiring technology companies, expanding into international markets, strengthening competencies — all this helps IONQ not only develop its core (hardware/software), but also cover adjacent areas (quantum communication, security, sensing technologies). Barron’s
- For example, the acquisition of Oxford Ionics is a step toward strengthening ion technologies and expanding into Europe. IONQ Investors
Main Risks and Weaknesses
Of course, IONQ is not without risks:
- The company is not yet profitable, with significant operating expenses and losses. StockStory
- Large funding volumes through share issuance can lead to shareholder dilution. Seeking Alpha
- Commercial maturity of quantum computers (especially general-purpose ones) is still far away. Many applications are still at the research, prototype, and pilot project stages.
Comparison with Others (RGTI, QBTS, QUBT)
- RGTI (Rigetti Computing) — has interesting technology, but revenue growth is relatively weaker, large losses, and the company is more sensitive to expectations (fails). StockAnalysis
- QBTS (D-Wave Quantum) — specializes in a different architecture (quantum annealing / quantum-analog / hybrid approaches), more niche applications. May be good, but scale/universality is smaller.
- QUBT (Quantum Computing Inc) — even more speculative, with a less established technological base and higher risk.
Conclusion
If picking one company, I would bet on IonQ, because it combines:
- technological depth
- good growth rates
- strategic acquisitions that strengthen its leadership
- potential to win if quantum technologies become commercially important.
Dear ChatGPT, I won’t argue with you :). The last line is my profit as of 09/19/2025
