Better Quantum Computing Stock: D-Wave Quantum vs. IonQ
Quantum computing is often considered the next frontier for the tech sector. Unlike traditional computers, which still store zeros and ones separately in binary bits, quantum computers store them simultaneously in qubits. That's why quantum computers can process massive amounts of data at a much faster rate than their traditional counterparts.
However, quantum computers are still primarily used for niche government and research projects because they're bigger, more expensive, and consume a lot more power than traditional servers and mainframes. They also tend to output a higher percentage of errors.
