Despite a muted 2026 so far, shares of quantum computing company Infleqtion (INFQ) jumped more than 12% on June 23 after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to incorporate quantum technology in U.S. national security, commercial, and scientific applications.
Other leading quantum computing stocks did not react as much to the news, however, making Infleqtion stock's rally noteworthy. Even more notable, Infleqtion CEO Matthew Kinsella was present at the signing — and the only executive present from a pure-play quantum computing company. Perhaps this explains the difference in price reactions among quantum computing stocks.
