My 2 Top Quantum Computing Stocks to Buy Now
Much like artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing has attracted investors for its game-changing potential.
Quantum computing is in its early days of growth, making now a great time to look for future winners.
10 stocks we like better than Alphabet ›
Quantum computing has been turning heads in the investment world, much like artificial intelligence (AI) has done and continues to do. The reason? Both of these areas could be game changing for businesses and our daily lives -- for example, these technologies could result in the development of life-saving drugs, may streamline factory operations, and help you organize your daily tasks.
All of this may result in supercharged earnings growth for the companies leading the way. AI and quantum computing are complementary but different: AI involves the training of large language models (LLMs) so that they can go on to solve complex problems. Quantum computing harnesses the behavior of subatomic particles -- and their ability to scale exponentially -- to solve problems that are impossible for classical computers to handle.
Both technologies are in their early days of growth, though AI already is being applied to real-world problems and generating major revenue for companies -- quantum computing may take several years before becoming generally useful, some experts have predicted. But the fact that quantum is just getting started is great news for investors because it offers us plenty of time to get in on these stocks and benefit from their full growth story. And at the same time, you can minimize risk by investing in companies that already have proven themselves in other areas and are profitable.
With this in mind, here are my top two quantum computing stocks to buy now.
1. Alphabet
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) is mainly known for its Google platform -- from the world's most popular search engine Google Search to cloud computing unit Google Cloud. Together, these businesses have helped the company generate billions of dollars in revenue over the years. And what's also compelling is that Alphabet has understood how to invest in its business, resulting in gains in return on invested capital too.
GOOG Revenue (Annual) data by YCharts
This company continues to excel in its markets and has invested in AI -- applying the technology to its business and selling AI tools to others. On top of this, Alphabet aims to win in quantum computing as well, and might be on the right track to do so.
Late last year, the company announced Willow, its quantum chip that already has accomplished two big things. It's shown that it can reduce errors when scaling up with more qubits, or the particles that process data -- this is a big deal, since errors have been a big problem with quantum systems. And second, it performed a computation in a few minutes that would have been impossible for even the most sophisticated supercomputer. Alphabet says the Willow generation of chips may help quantum computing become generally useful -- reaching a huge milestone.
Considering Alphabet's solid, profitable business and progress in quantum computing, it's a no-brainer buy at the dirt cheap price of 18x forward earnings estimates.
2. Nvidia
You may think mainly of AI when you think of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) -- and that's right. The company dominates the AI chip market and sells a full portfolio of related elements that have been driving enormous revenue growth. In the latest fiscal year, Nvidia's revenue surged 114% to $130 billion, a record, thanks to this focus on AI.
But Nvidia also may benefit from the quantum computing market too -- and it may not have to wait very long. This is because Nvidia's computing platforms can be used now to help tackle problems facing quantum computing, such as error correction, and help develop hybrid AI/quantum systems. To get the ball rolling, Nvidia recently announced it's building an accelerated quantum computing research center in Boston, to open later this year.
All this means that Nvidia, which has been flying high thanks to soaring AI-driven revenue, also may see itself generating growth as quantum computing develops, and then if and when it reaches the general use stage.
Meanwhile, as an investor, you don't face significant risk, since Nvidia already is highly profitable thanks to its AI business and also generates revenue by selling its chips to gaming, robotics, and professional visualization customers.
So, by investing in Nvidia, you're betting on an established company that's delivered big results -- and at the same time, you're positioning yourself for a potential quantum computing win too.

Prediction: Nvidia Can Hit a $5 Trillion Market Cap This Year
Key Points Nvidia became the first stock to hit a $4 trillion market cap. The company continues to be the dominant player in AI infrastructure. The stock has a clear path to hit $5 trillion by the end of the year. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) isn't just leading the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom: It is the boom. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the backbone of AI data centers, while its CUDA software has helped create a huge moat around its business. Over the past two years, data center revenue has exploded by more than 9x, going from $4.3 billion to $39.1 billion. For a company of Nvidia's size, that kind of growth is almost unheard of. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » That momentum has pushed Nvidia past the $4 trillion market cap mark, which is an extraordinary accomplishment. It's also done it quickly, jumping from $1 trillion to $4 trillion in just over a year. At this point, I think predicting that the company will hit $5 trillion by year-end isn't much of a stretch. It's only about a 25% gain from here, and the setup remains strong. Nvidia's valuation is still reasonable. While its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has crept up to 38 times based on this year's analyst estimates, its forward price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is just more than 0.8, with PEGs below 1 signaling a stock is undervalued. Meanwhile, investors will soon start to turn to 2026 estimates when looking at valuations, and the stock trades at only a 28.5 P/E ratio and less than a 0.8 PEG on next year's analyst consensus. A 25% increase in Nvidia's stock price is getting you to around a 35.5 times P/E and a 1 PEG, which would still be reasonable. The CUDA moat Nvidia's biggest advantage comes from its CUDA software platform. GPUs were originally designed to speed up graphics rendering in video games. However, Nvidia saw a bigger opportunity and built CUDA as a way to let developers program its chips for other purposes. Although GPU usage for other tasks didn't take off immediately, Nvidia smartly pushed CUDA into universities and research labs, which is where early AI work began. That long-term bet eventually paid off in a big way. CUDA became the platform that developers learned to program GPUs on, and the more it was used, the more tools were built for it. That network effect helped Nvidia extend its lead, and last quarter it captured a 92% market share in GPUs, largely due to CUDA. AMD 's ROCm software platform has improved, but it's still miles behind in terms of ease of use, documentation, and developer support. Data center demand isn't slowing down Nvidia's core market remains AI training and inference, and the demand for its chips shows no signs of easing. Companies are spending aggressively to build out large language models, while cloud computing companies and other hyperscalers (companies with massive data centers) are racing to scale out their infrastructure. Nvidia, meanwhile, is the company powering this buildout. Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has predicted that data center spending tied to AI will exceed $1 trillion by 2028. Not all of that will go to Nvidia, but given its leadership in GPUs, the company is well positioned to take a big piece. It also continues to innovate at a rapid pace. Its chip release cycle has sped up, with new architectures set to be introduced every year instead of every two. That should help lock in its lead and keep it ahead of rivals. Even if data center growth slows from here -- and at some point it will -- Nvidia still has more levers to pull. Data centers aren't its only growth engine. The company's auto business is gaining traction. Last quarter, auto revenue surged 72% to $567 million. That's a fraction of its data center business, but Nvidia expects it to hit $5 billion this year. The ramp-up in the auto sector is coming from robotaxis and smart vehicles. Alphabet 's Waymo uses Nvidia chips in its robotaxi fleet, and it's now running more than 250,000 paid rides per week. That's just the start. Mercedes, Toyota, and Volvo are all using Nvidia's DRIVE platform for advanced driver assistance and autonomy. General Motors and Hyundai, meanwhile, are using Nvidia technology in their smart factory initiative. Nvidia projected in 2022 that its auto opportunity could reach $300 billion. Given the advancements in autonomous driving, that number doesn't look farfetched. Is the stock a buy? With the stock already hitting a $4 trillion market cap, a move to $5 trillion is well within reach. That's a solid 25% return from current levels, which would still make the stock a buy. As long as AI infrastructure spending continues to ramp up, Nvidia is a stock you want to own. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now? Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them.

SILVER ONE COMMISSIONS GROUND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY ON ITS PHOENIX SILVER PROJECT, ARIZONA
VANCOUVER, BC , July 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE) (OTCQX: SLVRF) (FSE: BRK1) ("Silver One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Zonge International, Inc., to conduct a ground geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) and Magnetotelluric (MT) survey on its 100% owned Phoenix Silver project in Arizona . Both IP and MT are effective electrical geophysical methods useful to detect underground metallic minerals, especially disseminated sulfides, and structures that may be host to mineralization. This is especially important in the southern portion of the property where previous magnetic and ZTEM surveys, in combination with multiple select high-grade copper and silver samples are suggestive of a copper-silver system at depth ( See Figures 1 and 2 and news release of February 20, 2025 ). Owing to safety reasons related to fire hazard in the project's area, the survey will be scheduled as soon as Forest Service fire restrictions are lifted. The planned survey consists of 50-line km of ground IP and MT over robust copper targets. These targets were identified using Geotech's targeting algorithm that combines several datasets including, resistivity derived from the ZTEM survey, magnetic features, geology, structure, mine sites and copper showings (see Company's news release of February 20, 2025 and Figures 1 and 2). These targets have never been drill tested, and their importance is highlighted by their location along the north-eastern portion of the prolific Miami-Inspiration copper belt, which hosts Rio Tinto-BHP's Resolution deposit to the southwest and BHP's Ocelot discovery to the northeast (Figure 1). The IP and MT survey will target vertical depths of 600 metres and 1,500 metres respectively. This survey, in conjunction with previous field investigations, will allow the Company to define and prioritize targets for future drilling. Silver Exploration The company plans to continue with further evaluation of silver targets, especially the 417 area and the long northeast-trending train of silver nuggets located in the northern part of the property. A detailed gravity survey is planned over the 417 area drilled in 2024 to assist in defining the location of massive silver bodies (see Company's news release of February 24, 2025 and Figure 2) and guide future drilling. At the Nuggets North area, planned work includes mapping, sampling, and trenching subject to Forest Service permitting. Candelaria Project Update The Company is also pleased to announce that work at the Candelaria project is on schedule, continuing with metallurgical investigations to optimize silver and gold recoveries, and a Preliminary Economic Assessment study (PEA) scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. Qualified Person The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Robert M. Cann , P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and an independent consultant to the Company. About Silver One Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects. The Company holds a 100% interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in Nevada . Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional opportunities lie in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip and potentially increasing the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits. The Company owns 636 lode claims and five patented claims on its Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada , host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike. Silver One also owns a 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native silver prospect that lies within the "Arizona Silver Belt", immediately adjacent to the prolific copper producing area of Globe , Arizona.
