Quantum computing stocks have surged over the past year, with several companies posting triple- and even quadruple-digit percentage gains as the sector has become one of the most actively traded in the market.

While many companies are racing to develop the first fully fault-tolerant quantum computer, one has emerged as the clear institutional frontrunner. Quantinuum (QNT), the quantum computing spinoff from Honeywell, stands as the world's largest and most advanced integrated quantum computing company. Newly public following its June 6, 2026, IPO, the firm is backed by $100 million in committed CHIPS Act funding and supports an elite enterprise customer base that includes JPMorgan Chase (JPM), BMW, and Amgen (AMGN). Since the company has gone public, shares have surged over 20% as of June 26, 2026.

What makes Quantinuum a rare triple threat is the combination of forces that have backed it from day one. First, it features a robust strategic infrastructure inherited from Honeywell, which retains a 48.1% voting stake post-offering. Second, it boasts institutional capital and underwriting from two of Wall Street's most recognized names. Finally, it has direct White House support through executive orders and federal funding, placing the full credibility of the U.S. government behind the company's quantum race. 

For active traders looking to capture those swings, the Tradr 2X Long QNT Daily ETF (QNTU) offers 200% daily leveraged exposure to Quantinuum in a single trade.

Quantinuum Sits at the Intersection of Enterprise Quantum, AI Infrastructure, and Federal Investment

Quantinuum was created in 2021 through the merger of Honeywell's quantum computing division and Cambridge Quantum, giving it a foundation in deep engineering talent and institutional backing that most quantum startups lack. The company employs more than 70% of its technology workforce with PhD or Master's degree holders and operates globally across the U.S., U.K., Germany, Japan, Qatar, and Singapore.

Its technology uses trapped-ion quantum systems, which use charged atoms controlled by lasers to process information, and the company has commercially deployed multiple generations of quantum systems built on its proprietary QCCD architecture. CEO Raj Hazra stated at the IPO that "commercialization has started." 

Additionally, Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, told reporters the 2028 quantum computer target is achievable: "We believe this can happen by 2028."

With 2025 revenue of $30.9 million and a multi-billion-dollar market valuation, the macro tailwinds behind Quantinuum are substantial, especially for bullish traders.

Trading Quantinuum's Momentum With 2X Leverage

The Tradr 2X Long QNT Daily ETF (QNTU) seeks daily investment results equal to 200% of the daily performance of Quantinuum (QNT) common stock, before fees and expenses.

• When QNT rises 1%, QNTU targets a 2% gain (before fees)
• When QNT falls 1%, QNTU targets a 2% decline (before fees)
• Aims to suit active traders with a bullish short-term view on Quantinuum's momentum

QNTU resets its leverage daily. The 2X target applies to single-day price movements, and holding the fund beyond a single day introduces compounding effects. It is designed for short-term tactical trading by investors who actively monitor their positions.

Tradr ETFs also offers leveraged tactical exposure to other quantum computing stocks. Below is the complete lineup of their specialized quantum ETFs: 

Trade Quantinuum's Next Catalyst With Precision

Quantum stocks have surged, fueled by billions in federal investment, White House mandates, and a race to build the most powerful computers in human history. Quantinuum has entered the public markets as the frontrunner, with CHIPS Act funding secured and a growing enterprise customer base already putting the technology to work. 

For active traders who believe this is the beginning of something much larger, the Tradr 2X Long QNT Daily ETF (QNTU) offers amplified, single-ticker exposure to the company driving it.

Leveraged ETFs Involve Significant Risks

Tradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other exchange-traded funds. Know the risks before you invest. The significant risks of leveraged and/or inverse ETFs include the risks of leverage, derivatives, and/or other complex investment strategies that they employ. These investments are designed for short-term trading for investors seeking daily, monthly or quarterly leveraged investment results.

Investors in the ETF should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily, calendar month and calendar quarter inverse and leveraged investment results; (c) for short ETFs, understand the risk of shorting; (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. ETF performance will likely be significantly different than the benchmark over periods longer than the specified reset period and the performance may trend in the opposite direction than its benchmark over periods other than that period.

The ETFs seek leveraged investment results over a specific period and are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles. The ETFs pursue leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the ETFs magnify the performance of their underlying security. The volatility of the underlying security may affect an ETF's return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.

The ETF will not attempt to position its portfolio to ensure it does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, investors in an ETF that seeks two times daily performance would lose all of their money if the ETF's underlying security moves more than 50% in a direction adverse to the ETF on a given trading day.

ETFs involve risk including possible loss of principal. There is no assurance that the ETF will achieve its investment objective. Principal risks and other important risks may be found in the prospectus.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the ETF before investing.
