A part of IBM that may have received less coverage is its role in quantum computing. In many respects, IBM leads the way in that industry, and many investors may wonder whether that cutting-edge technology makes IBM stock a buy.

Investors are always on the lookout for the next big thing, and following the success of AI in recent years, it’s no surprise to see stocks in

The Nvidia CEO, who made Elon Musk and Larry Ellison "beg" for more AI GPUs, argued that quantum computing remains unreliable. Huang said that “very useful quantum computers” are probably two decades down the road.

High-risk and potentially high-reward quantum computing stocks include Rigetti Computing, D-Wave Quantum, and IonQ. Established players such as Google parent Alphabet, Microsoft, IBM, and Honeywell are also quantum computing leaders.

Quantum computing is still in its infancy but holds significant potential to transform industries, particularly when integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). Unlike traditional computers, which process data using bits that can be either zero or one,
