Apr.01 — Peter Chapman, chief executive officer and president at IonQ Inc, discusses his company going public via a special purpose acquisition company deal with dMY Technology Group Inc. that gives the combined entity a pro-forma implied market capitalization of about $2 billion. He also shares how soon quantum computing will become mainstream and what real-life issues it can solve. Chapman speaks to Emily Chang on “Bloomberg Technology.”

    U.S. stock futures were starting April higher after the S&P 500 closed out its best month since November with a gain of 4.2%. The index hit an all-time intraday high Wednesday but failed to close at a record, The Dow, which closed at a record Monday, saw its second modest decline in a row Wednesday. But the 30-stock average, like the S&P 500, had its best month since November, posting a March gain of 6.6%. For the first quarter, the Dow and the S&P 500 rose 7.8% and 5.8%, respectively, for their fourth positive quarter in a row. The Nasdaq broke a two-session losing streak with a 1.5% gain Wednesday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq has recently been the underperformer as technology stocks are especially sensitive to rising market interest rates because they depend on borrowing money cheaply to invest in future growth. For March, the Nasdaq gained just 0.4%. For the quarter, it gained 2.8%, Stock Analyst and strategist Dr Rodrick Jonathan said that the $1,400 stimulus checks would sends Treasury yields spiking even further, like you know the Stock Market was Falling Because Treasury Yields Won’t Stop Rising, so he warns Traders to be careful, for now you can only make profit by trading a working strategy instead of panic selling, while swing Trading i made $50,000usd with $10,000usd in 4 weeks with his Stock trading strategy, reach him on telegram Rodrickjonathan orWhatsApp+1(66O)474-OO3O,

      Rodrick if you can see this just know I bought 1200 shares on your first alert, sold for a little over 10% on the next day. bought it back lower than $33 after hours, averaged in another 1200 on your next alert, all out for the very nice +28% on that one. With the hits on NUGT and DUST, just keep hitting the miners!

      I am very happy the way Rodrick present His daily info. And also it helps me save time to pick right stock with success. That is my biggest benefit me from Market so far.

      I work full time and am a newbie trader (on the side), but decided to do the one-month trial of Rodrick’s service on 4/26 and have been VERY happy with the results. Small account but I’ve had huge wins with you on the gold miners, USLV, TZA and more!

      He’s just old school. He invented the first sound card for the IBM PC son of an astronaut, started working in the MIT AI Lab when he was 16. IonQ > IBM Google and Honeywell

    Wonder why they are using a SPAC investment mechanism rather than a IPO, or a direct listing?

    • Bert Lammens

      becaus its still “5 years” away

    • ENEVISION

      Capital. It gives the retail investor the opportunity to invest at $10 floor rather than $100 in an IPO

    • Ravi Patel

      April 2, 2021 at 6:36 pm

      To avoid huge up front costs of launching IPO and also to hold cash for R&D

      They need capital to survive before delivering real products.

      Quantum computing is so far away from being profitable. You can keep your shares lmao.

    • brainwashboi123

      April 2, 2021 at 10:07 pm

      @Andrew Haugen I mean in the near term for sure. But long term it’s going to be a big thing. I don’t think Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Bill Gates, Samsung, and Lockheed Martin would be involved in this company if they didn’t think it would be important or profitable.

      I just stumbled upon this tech if you don’t mind explaining the basics or in depth what this could provide for humanity? I’d appreciate it. Will research more when I have time!!!

    • ENEVISION

      @brainwashboi123 You do realize these companies have been funding quantum computing for the last 20 years right?

    • Andrew Haugen

      April 5, 2021 at 10:51 pm

      @brainwashboi123 Literally do your research please, quantum computing isnt ready even in the next decade. All the top programs needs to completely restart and need to be built from the ground up.

      @Christophe-Olivier Guglielmi I don’t know. I saw the clip’s title and thought “wow I want to invest in that” then it’s a spac, then his mic is shit, then his first sentence is one of an used car salesman. He just tripled my DD work. Also I think the best startup in this space has already been bought.

      First thing i thought after hearing his clown mic is this guy probs cant even set up a pc let alone be the CEO of a quantum computing company.

    Why would anyone want to invest in quantum computing company when it is in its infancy without real products to show for

    • Zach Flannery

      I don’t know why would someone invest in something that will change the world for the better 🤔 that’s silly

    April 3, 2021 at 2:15 pm

    It will take a lot of years for Quantum Computing to go mainstream though, at least 10 years, but currently being seeing the leading Quantum Computing companies i.e Xanadu, IBM, and now IonQ investing lots into capital and labor

    • Christophe-Olivier Guglielmi

      April 4, 2021 at 7:45 am

      Yes that’s probably right. But the investments with higher yields are those done early on. Plant a seed now, if it grows to maturity, what you’ll get is not a carrot but rather a sequoia in terms of relative size!

    • Aaron Dvorin

      April 4, 2021 at 11:23 am

      If it is 10 years that is the price to pay for this technology.

      @Vurze you buy IBM,not this “FIRST” BS

    • Vurze

      April 4, 2021 at 5:19 pm

      @Vohen_ Good point. Put plainly I love quantum computers and want to be a part of investment. How do I invest in IBM’s quantum? Or is it just solely ibm?

    • Vohen_

      April 4, 2021 at 5:32 pm

      @Vurze Yes,you Invest in IBM as a whole,you dress the IBM shirt and your support the whole TEAM.
      Thats one of the old school of value investment,your money support the companies.
      Doesn’t matter if its not much,what matters is the feeling of support.
      Best of luck !

  27. Max Lapointe

    April 4, 2021 at 4:35 pm

    I mean, IBM, Intel, Google and Microsoft are already public… Amazon, Baba, Tencent also have a quantum computing divisions, amongst major players.

    And I’m not convinced this guy understands what kind of problems his 5-year-hoziron prototype will solve. You won’t have a universal gate quantum computer in 5 years, you’ll have a NISQ, which is what superconducting qubit-based techs already have achieved.

    Also I’m not convinced Ions will be the technology of the future for quantum computing. To date, superconducting qubits are much more advanced and spin qubits have better scalability potential, mostly in light of Intel’s small grid of quantum dots they introduced at the 2021 APS march meeting.

    Statistically speaking, if it’s a SPAC then it’s probably just short of worthless.
