ETFs targeting the emerging quantum computing industry — from pure-play startups to enabling hardware.
Data updated September 2026 · 11 ETFs
Who this page is for
Best for
- Aggressive growth investors wanting diversified exposure to a frontier technology
- Long-horizon holders who can wait years for the industry to mature
- Investors who prefer a basket over betting on a single quantum startup
Not a fit for
- Income investors — quantum ETFs pay little to nothing
- Anyone who needs stability; pure-play quantum stocks are extremely volatile
- Investors expecting a pure quantum bet — broad funds dilute it with large enabling-tech names
Analysis
Quantum computing ETFs give investors a way to participate in one of technology's most speculative frontiers without staking everything on a single startup. The catch is that the pure-play quantum universe is tiny and pre-revenue, so most "quantum" ETFs blend a handful of true quantum names (IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave) with much larger enabling-technology companies — chipmakers, cloud providers, and defense contractors funding quantum research. That diversification cushions the volatility of the small pure-plays but also dilutes the theme: a broad quantum ETF may behave more like a tech-and-semiconductor fund than a direct quantum wager. Read the holdings carefully to understand how concentrated a given fund really is. These are long-horizon, high-risk positions — the commercial payoff from quantum computing is likely years away, and the road there will be volatile. Size accordingly.
Risks specific to this category
- Distribution sustainability: the average distribution rate here is 45.8%, and payouts at that level often include return of capital — when distributions persistently exceed total return, NAV erodes and shrinks the base that generates future income.
- Single-name concentration: option-income funds built on one underlying stock inherit that company's full drawdown risk, and a sharp decline can overwhelm months of option premium.
- Concentration in one theme: most funds here focus on quantum, so the whole list tends to draw down together when that corner of the market falls out of favor — diversification across the table is lower than the fund count suggests.
- Expense drag: expense ratios in this group average 0.69% — several times what broad index funds charge — and that cost compounds directly against total return.
- Liquidity and closure risk: 8 of the 11 funds listed hold under $100M in assets, and small funds tend to trade with wider bid-ask spreads and face a higher risk of liquidation.

Income projection
Estimated income if the current average distribution rate of 20.81% held for a full year with share prices unchanged. Distribution rate is not total return—a fund can pay a large distribution while its share price falls—so treat these as an upper-bound illustration, not a forecast.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best quantum computing ETFs?
This page lists the top 11 ETFs in this category ranked by key metrics. The list includes funds from issuers like Defiance ETFs, WisdomTree, Global X, Corgi Strategies and more.
How often is this list updated?
The data on this page is refreshed regularly using the latest available distribution rates, expense ratios, and AUM figures. Last updated September 2026.
What is the average yield of these ETFs?
The average distribution yield across the 11 ETFs on this list is 20.81%. Individual yields range from 0.06% to 84.32%.
What is a quantum computing ETF?
It is a thematic ETF that invests in companies developing quantum computing — both small pure-play firms building quantum hardware and larger technology companies funding quantum research. QTUM is the largest and longest-running example.
Are quantum ETFs a pure bet on quantum computing?
Rarely. Because the pure-play quantum universe is small and unprofitable, most quantum ETFs hold a majority of enabling-technology names — semiconductors, cloud, and defense — alongside the true quantum stocks. Check the top holdings to see how direct the exposure actually is.
Are quantum computing ETFs risky?
Yes, among the highest-risk thematic funds available. The core quantum companies are early-stage and mostly pre-revenue, and the commercial timeline stretches years out. Expect large drawdowns and treat any position as a small, long-horizon satellite holding.
