Quantum computing also has emerged as a potential game changer, and investors have turned their attention to companies innovating in this area.
In fact, the following "boring" blue chip stock is quietly leading in quantum computing.
Quantum versus classical computing Before diving in, let's take a quick look at how quantum computing works, and this starts with a look at classical computing.
Quantum computing uses qubits instead of bits, and these processors may store information as a zero, a one, or both at the same time.
Today, quantum computing companies use various techniques to develop qubits and execute calculations, from the trapped ion method to superconducting techniques.
