Quantum computing has been on the horizon for what feels like decades. But with the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past year or so, the quantum computing future could be upon us. In 2025, there are several stocks that could benefit. Some are big tech businesses; others are specialty start-ups focused on a particular niche.

Quantum computing has the potential of being the next big innovation. At the right size and the right price, it might even be investable.

Trapped-ion quantum computing leader IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is emerging as a potential leader in the commercialization of quantum computing through its trapped-ion technology approach. Unlike traditional superconducting quantum competitors,

One of these companies' quantum platforms can complete calculations in minutes that would take today's supercomputers longer than the age of the universe to solve.

Following tech giants such as Amazon (AMZN) and Nvidia (NVDA), enterprise software major SAP (SAP) has also joined the voices making a case for quantum computing. Sounding bullish about the technology,

Many quantum computing stocks have risen well above Wall Street's price targets, but this one still has room to climb.
