Editor's note: Quantum computing's breakout moment is near...
While the AI revolution has dominated headlines throughout 2025, Louis Navellier – editor of Growth Investor for our corporate affiliate InvestorPlace – stresses that we're on the verge of another massive technological transformation.
In today's Masters Series, Louis details how the next phase of the AI revolution revolves around quantum computing...
The Next Great Leap Beyond AI
Three years ago, the world changed – but few realized how important a day it was.
On November 30, 2022, ChatGPT was released to the public ... and the AI era was born.
Seemingly overnight, AI went from the realm of science fiction to the center of everyday life and ignited one of the most powerful technological revolutions in history.
AI has become the driving force behind nearly every major innovation story on Wall Street – from chipmakers to data centers to software firms.
Just look at Nvidia (NVDA). The dominant maker of graphics processing units ("GPUs") has seen its stock price rise nearly 1,100% since then.
And investors who acted early made a fortune.
Now, in my four-decade career, I've made a habit of finding game-changing market trends early thanks to my proprietary system – Nvidia included.
But here's the key point: The AI Revolution isn't finished.
In fact, we're far from it...
AI and AI data center stocks have dominated the market again this year, carrying the bulk of the S&P 500 Index's gains throughout 2025.
But I've already started to see some changes. The market is evolving.
If there's one thing I've learned in my career, it's that you always need to be looking for "the next big thing."
Right now, we're standing on the edge of the next chapter of investing... And this new technology could redefine the entire AI boom.
It's called quantum computing.
Today, I'll explain why quantum computing is shaping up to be the next phase of the AI revolution and how I identified these early leaders. Plus, I'll even share one of my favorite quantum picks today.
And I'll tell you how my colleague Jonathan Rose's trading strategy can help you amplify opportunities like this.
Throughout my career, I've built quantitative models to find where the big money is moving before Wall Street catches on.
In the 1980s, that meant semiconductor stocks at the dawn of personal computing.
In the 1990s, it was the first wave of Internet leaders.
In the 2000s and 2010s, it was clean energy, cloud software, and the early stages of AI.
Each era brought a new technology that changed how the world works – and rewarded investors who recognized these trends early.
Now, I believe we're standing at the start of another pivotal turning point. Quantum computing could do for the next decade what the microchip did for the last 50 years.
You see, traditional computers handle data in bits – ones and zeros. Quantum computers use qubits, which can represent multiple states simultaneously. That gives them exponentially greater computing power for solving complex problems.
For AI, that means faster learning, more advanced simulations, and the ability to process vast datasets that today's supercomputers can't handle.
Quantum computing could accelerate the AI revolution – tackling problems ranging from clean energy to medical breakthroughs.
Investors are only just starting to catch on. But I've been talking about this breakthrough since the summer of 2024, when few people were paying attention.
Back then, I called quantum computing the missing link that could take machine learning and data processing to an entirely new level. I even released several reports for my readers exploring the early players in this space – purely as speculative research ideas, not formal portfolio holdings.
One of those names was Rigetti Computing (RGTI).
I highlighted it in February 2025 as a small, promising company building cloud-based access to its own quantum processors. Since then, Rigetti's stock is up about 213%.
That's an impressive move for a moonshot company. And it's currently rated a "B" in my proprietary Stock Grader system, making it a strong stock.
But like any emerging field, these quantum stocks are volatile. Their moves can be fast, sharp, and unpredictable. That's exactly what makes them exciting – and challenging – for investors.
But here's the incredible part: A colleague of mine, veteran trader Jonathan Rose, found a way to turn that same setup with Rigetti into a 233% gain in just four days.
Jonathan and I both watch the same trends shaping the market, but we approach them from very different angles.
While I look for strong fundamentals and institutional buying pressure that can lift a stock over months or years, Jonathan looks for where traders are positioning their money right now.
He's been doing it for more than 25 years – first as a floor trader on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and later as a market maker on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. During the 2008 financial crisis, he made more than $6 million by understanding how volatility moves through the market.
He has since built a community of everyday traders who follow his research and trading strategies. And in December 2024, his system detected a surge of trading activity around Rigetti. Within just days, his followers were able to capture a 233% profit.
Same story. Different playbook.
That's what makes Jonathan's approach such a powerful complement to mine.
I've always said that speculative stocks can be worthwhile – as long as you treat them like what they are: high-risk, high-reward "lottery ticket" ideas. Quantum computing fits that description perfectly.
What Jonathan has shown is that you don't have to sit on those ideas for years, hoping they eventually pay off. His trading strategy gives you a way to act on the volatility directly – taking advantage of short bursts of momentum to potentially capture big profits in a fraction of the time.
It's a faster, more tactical approach that can pair beautifully with ideas like quantum computing. While these companies are still in their early days, Jonathan's strategy allows you to trade around them to maximize your returns.
Between the Federal Reserve's new rate-cutting cycle and the next wave of innovation in AI and quantum computing, I believe we're entering one of the most promising environments for active traders in years.
Volatility is returning, and that's when disciplined systems tend to shine...
Sincerely,
Louis Navellier
