Microsoft, Amazon, and Google each announced new prototypes of quantum computing chips, but scientists say that the field is still evolving.

Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a quantum chip with a "Topological Core" architecture, potentially enabling powerful quantum computers within years instead of decades. The breakthrough stems from a newly developed material called a topoconductor,

Major technological breakthroughs can, over time, create trillions in shareholder value. Quantum computing looks like one such possible opportunity, and Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) might be a good way to gain exposure to it. Quantum computing involves creating machines that process data in an entirely different way than traditional computers.

Innovation is pouring out of the big technology companies. From hand-controlled augmented reality glasses at Meta Platforms, self-driving car commercialization at Alphabet, and robot-controlled warehouses at Amazon,

For companies struggling with high cloud costs, talent shortages, and data integration problems, a groundbreaking quantum processor isn’t the answer.

Google's parent company, announced its new quantum computing chip. This started a frenzy of trading in pure-play quantum computing stocks like Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) and D-Wave (NYSE: QBTS).

Quantum computing remains industry of high potential and rapid evolution, igniting investor interest with its promise to revolutionize computational speed. The quantum race is heating up after Microsoft (MSFT) introduced its Majorana 1 chip,
