Quantum computing stocks have not been spared in the recent tech sell-off. While the technology holds promise to be the next big breakthrough after AI, it is still very much in its infancy. Various techniques and companies are vying to crack the quantum code, and while there is no guarantee which one will come out on top, some certainly look better positioned than others. Let's look at one quantum computing stock to buy, one to sell, and one to hold on this recent dip. IonQ If there were one quantum computing stock I'd buy and tuck away over the next decade, it would be IonQ (IONQ +1.87%). One of the biggest obstacles the industry faces today is that quantum computers are currently very error-prone. Because quantum computing uses qubits, which are in a state of superposition, instead of traditional bits, they are very sensitive to failing due to outside forces such as vibrations or temperature changes. While the industry still needs to make big strides, IonQ is currently the accuracy leader, achieving 99.99% 2-qubit gate fidelity. NYSE: IONQ Key Data Points IonQ's accuracy lead can be largely attributed to its trapped-ion approach. Instead of using fabricated qubits, it starts by using actual charged atoms (ions), which are identical in nature and less fragile. While traditional trapped-ion systems use electric fields to suspend the ions and rely on complex laser setups to control and entangle them, IonQ embeds microwave antennas directly into its chips to manipulate the qubits electronically, dramatically improving stability. This on-chip technique also reduces the system's size, which will be important later when the company looks to commercialize and scale quantum computers. In addition to its accuracy edge, IonQ is also looking to control the entire quantum ecosystem. It has made acquisitions to get into the areas of
