Quantum-Computing Stocks Surge on Trump Administration’s Push for U.S. Tech Dominance

Quantum-computing companies such as IonQ, Rigetti Computing, D‑Wave Quantum and Quantum Computing Inc. surged after media reports that the Donald Trump administration may take equity stakes in the sector in order to secure U.S. technological leadership.

Though the government later clarified that no formal negotiations are underway, investors continued buying into the sector, suggesting belief in an emerging “national strategic industry” narrative.

The move reflects broader government efforts to strengthen critical-technology industries (quantum, semiconductors, rare minerals) and reduce dependence on foreign supply chains.

Analysts note that while excitement is high, quantum computing remains early stage and subject to high volatility and long timelines before commercial scale.
