Extended read
Amazon is highlighted as a strategic way to invest in quantum computing with reduced risk compared to pure-play quantum companies. The company's offerings, including Amazon Braket (a fully managed quantum computing service) and its Ocelot quantum chip, represent a 'pick-and-shovel' approach. This means Amazon provides the foundational tools and infrastructure for quantum computing development, rather than directly betting on the success of specific quantum algorithms or applications. This strategy allows investors to gain exposure to the growth of the quantum computing industry while mitigating some of the inherent risks associated with early-stage, highly speculative technologies.
