The combined company is expected to be able to compete with legacy tech giants who are also on their way to quantum supremacy. A recent report by Street.com ranked QTUM as one of the best technology ETFs for 2022, beating out all GlobalX and Ark ETFs. QTUM’s value is up over 34% so far in 2021, while ARKK’s value is down 22%. Launched in September 2018, QTUM currently has over $170 million in assets under management.
2021 was an important year for quantum computing. Two of his quantum companies, Rigetti and IonQ, have gone public, and a new security pact between the UK, US and Australia recognizes the critical importance of quantum computing. The United States’ determination to beat China in this crucial area is demonstrated in his $250 billion bill that passed the Senate in June. In December, two quantum giants, Honeywell Quantum Solutions and Cambridge Quantum, merged to form Quantinuum.
