ETFs targeting the emerging quantum computing industry — from pure-play startups to enabling hardware.
Data updated August 2026 · 10 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
Category: Best Quantum Computing ETFs in 2026
This category blends thematic growth exposure to quantum computing with a subset of high-octane options-income products layered on individual quantum stocks. QTUM, the Defiance Quantum ETF, dominates by scale at $5.7B in AUM—dwarfing every other fund shown, most of which sit below $350M and several under $15M. The category also includes newer, narrower entrants like WQTM, CQTM, and XQBT, alongside GraniteShares' YieldBOOST suite (IOYY, RGYY, QBY), which applies a derivative-income overlay to single-name quantum stocks (IONQ, RGTI, QBTS) rather than tracking a diversified index. Issuer concentration is notable, with GraniteShares alone accounting for three of the ten funds shown, all sharing a weekly distribution schedule and identical 1.07% expense ratio.
- QTUM holds roughly $5.7B in AUM, far exceeding the combined total of the other nine funds shown here.

Risks specific to this category
- Capped upside: covered-call and option-overlay funds in this group keep the option premium in a rally but surrender gains above the strike, so they can trail the very index they write options against.
- Distribution sustainability: the average distribution rate here is 49.6%, 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 0.71% — several times what broad index funds charge — and that cost compounds directly against total return.

Income projection
Estimated income if the current average distribution rate of 24.78% 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 10 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 August 2026.
What is the average yield of these ETFs?
The average distribution yield across the 10 ETFs on this list is 24.78%. Individual yields range from 0.07% to 87.89%.
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.
