The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the segment of the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for advancing technological innovations, recently announced which quantum computing companies had advanced to Stage C of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI).
For investors, the focus should be on IonQ and IBM, which now have a leg up on other publicly traded quantum computing companies.
IonQ IonQ being chosen to advance to Stage C of DARPA's QBI is not surprising.
With the highest accuracy so far and plans to become a complete quantum ecosystem player, IonQ is one of the best bets in the quantum computing space today.
IBM is far from being a pure-play quantum computing company, but its future is tied to the technology.
