What Quantum Computing does

Develops photonic quantum computing hardware and software, including its Dirac quantum machines, for research and enterprise customers.

Revenue is small and comes from photonic chips, foundry work and prototype systems sold to research and government buyers, while spending is financed mainly by selling new shares. Its own thin-film lithium niobate chip foundry in Arizona is meant to give it manufacturing of its own.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
