The problem for investors is that there aren\u2019t any pure play opportunities to invest in quantum computing at the moment. The main reason for this is that there aren\u2019t many companies working on quantum computing. In fact, there\u2019s just one company right now that\u2019s actually selling a quantum computer; Canadian based startup <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanalyze.com\/2015\/01\/investing-in-quantum-computing-with-tiny-and-d-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\">D-Wave<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanalyze.com\/2015\/01\/investing-in-quantum-computing-with-tiny-and-d-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\">D-Wave<\/a> has actually released a controversial \u201cquantum computer\u201d, and is working with big names like Google, NASA, and Lockheed. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanalyze.com\/2015\/01\/investing-in-quantum-computing-with-tiny-and-d-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\">D-Wave<\/a> received some major credibility recently when Google announced that they solved an optimization problem in seconds that would normally take 10,000 years with a conventional computer. There is one way to get exposure to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanalyze.com\/2015\/01\/investing-in-quantum-computing-with-tiny-and-d-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\">D-Wave<\/a>, but it\u2019s hardly a pure-play and doesn\u2019t seem overly promising. While there are very few companies other than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanalyze.com\/2015\/01\/investing-in-quantum-computing-with-tiny-and-d-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\">D-Wave<\/a> directly involved in quantum computing, we did find two companies that quantum computing investors should keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.qxbranch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\" alt=\"QXBranch_Logo\" width=\"160\" height=\"41\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanalyze.com\/2016\/01\/2-quantum-computing-companies-that-are-not-d-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wham!
