This shift from experimental research to practical deployment aims to create machines with commercial value that can perform calculations beyond classical capabilities. Investors are also encouraged to watch other quantum companies like IonQ, D-Wave, Rigetti, Quantum Computing Inc., and Infleqtion, which are making significant advancements in the sector. **Microsoft Corp.** (NASDAQ:MSFT) has condensed its commercial quantum timeline and now expects to integrate quantum computing technology directly into data center infrastructure by 2029. - *MSFT stock is moving.* See the chart and price action here.  **Zulfi Alam,** Microsoft's corporate vice president of Quantum, told CNBC that he has confidence in this timeline during recent industry discussions.  "I would not be able to say this with this much clarity last year, but this year, I can state to claim that by 2029 you will have machines that will have commercial \[value\], meaning that they will be doing calculations that classical machines cannot do," said Alam.  According to Alam, the hybrid quantum-classical computing systems will mark the shift from experimental research to the practical deployment of resilient quantum systems.  "By the end of the decade, we are confident that we will have machines in data centers that have commercial value," Alam told CNBC. ## Quantum Stocks to Watch Investors tracking the quantum sector can look beyond the tech giants to pure-play companies that are also hitting critical milestones in the lead-up to 2030.  **IonQ, Inc.** (NYSE:IONQ): IonQ utilizes trapped-ion technology and has achieved high fidelity with its Tempo system. It has one of the strongest cash positions in the industry following several strategic acquisitions. **D-Wave Quantum Inc.** (NYSE:QBTS): D-Wave specializes in quantum annealing, a method particularly suited for optimization problems in logistics and finance.  **Rigetti Computing, Inc.** (NASDAQ:RGTI): Rigetti focuses on superconducting qubits and provides a full-stack approach, offering both hardware and a cloud-based integration platform for enterprise users. **Quantum Computing Inc.** (NASDAQ:QUBT): This firm develops nanophotonic-based quantum solutions and focuses on low-power, room-temperature hardware that can be deployed in existing server environments. **Infleqtion, Inc.** (NYSE:INFQ): The newest player in the sector went public via its merger with Churchill Capital Corp X on Tuesday, becoming the first neutral-atom quantum company to list in the U.S.  Infleqtion builds quantum computers, quantum optical clocks, RF receivers and inertial sensors and its systems are already deployed with the U.S. Department of War, NASA and the U.K. government.  *Photo: Dragon Claws /* *Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [QBTS.US - D-Wave Quantum](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QBTS.US.md) - [IONX.US - Defiance Daily Target 2X Long IONQ ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IONX.US.md) - [IONQ.US - IonQ](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IONQ.US.md) - [QUBT.US - Quantum Computing](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QUBT.US.md) - [QTUM.US - Defiance Quantum](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QTUM.US.md) - [INFQ.US - Infleqtion](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INFQ.US.md) - [QPUX.US - Defiance 2X Daily Long Pure Quantum ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QPUX.US.md) - [RGTI.US - Rigetti Computing](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RGTI.US.md) - [IONL.US - GraniteShares 2x Long IONQ Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IONL.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | IonQ 股票預測：量子計算領域將在一年後達到什麼位置 | 量子計算公司近年來一直是市場上最熱門的股票之一 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/272904051.md) | | IonQ 股票今日價格：$IONQ 是否是您在 2026 年實現量子突破的最佳選擇？ | IonQ 是一家領先的量子計算公司，在 2025 年經歷了顯著的股價波動，儘管波動不定，年末仍實現了 7.4% 的漲幅。該公司達成了多個重要里程碑，包括在兩量子比特操作中實現 99.99% 的保真度，以及 2025 年第三季度收入增長 22 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/272063935.md) | | 1 月 10 日最佳量子計算股票研究 | 根據 MarketBeat 的報道，D-Wave Quantum、IonQ 和量子計算被強調為量子計算領域的關鍵股票。這些公司致力於開發量子計算技術，並提供潛在的高增長投資機會，儘管伴隨有顯著風險。D-Wave Quantum 提供先進的量 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/272159837.md) | | Rigetti Computing：是量子領域的領導者還是被過度炒作的股票？ | 在過去一年中幾乎增長了三倍之後，Rigetti Computing 股票接下來會怎樣？ | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/272998543.md) | | 在尋找量子計算的投資機會嗎？QTUM 仍然是市場上唯一的 ETF 選擇 | Defiance Quantum ETF（QTUM）是唯一提供廣泛接觸量子計算公司的 ETF。它跟蹤 BlueStar 機器學習和量子計算指數，將早期量子公司與成熟的芯片製造商相結合。QTUM 表現強勁，過去一年上漲了 38%，而標準普爾 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275319431.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
