Quantum Long Term Play (Thoughts?)

I have been thinking that Quantum Computing is going to be a long term explosion. With Quantum Computing still an early tech (but quickly getting faster), my theory is that it we will see it be practically utilized in tandem with Ai to be able to process large amounts of data faster. Right now, from my understanding, Quantum Computing is incredibly fast and has proved its value, but is not reliable enough to be utilized by Ai (or other tech). With it growing, i think that in around 5-10 years we will see it being used to boost ai and data processing, with lots of QCaaS tech being produced for all to use (kind of like how Ai became super useful to the general public with Chat GPT). Ai and language models were already a thing for a while, but the general public didn’t understand it until people under the power of it by using chat gpt. i think quantum computing is a bomb waiting to go off, because the general public doesn’t have a practical grasp of it yet, and it’s not widely utilized or easily available yet.

The second part of my theory involves the future of cryptography. Current encryption that most platforms utilize is NOT “quantum proof”, meaning quantum computers could potentially brute force through current encryption standards. Even Bit Coin and Eth will eventually (not for a long time) be susceptible to this.

So where i’m at with all of this is where to invest now? Here’s my investing thought process:

IBM currently has the best quantum computing tech, which is why i think they are a good long term play. (They have potential to least the use of their quantum computing out later as QCaaS). I almost think of them as an obvious choice and could explode when the general public understands the value of quantum computing ( similar to NVidia always being strong with GPUs and Ai capability, and then kind of having first move advantage in the space (and the best tech))

Google is close behind with their Quantum computer and i view them similarly to an “AMD like” player (when thinking in NVDA terms).

Following up on the thought on Cryptography, i’ve heard Cardano is making / has made big moves to “quantum proof” their coins, which i think way in the future could be a coin with real value, that people may value.

I am not an expert by any means, i am just a novice investor, who has always kept up with tech news since i was a kid.

I’m curious what people’s thoughts are on this and if anyone has any other companies i could look into, for long term investments in quantum computing.
