While Cramer did express worries about quantum computing in this episode, he still believes that International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is a strong player in the industry.

This time, he discussed HSBC announcing that it had conducted a trial run of quantum-enabled algorithmic trading with International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM):

“I’ve met with Arvind Krishna and he said look, you want real quantum? We have real quantum. He also, by the way, said that Honeywell Quantinuum, that that’s real. Google we know is real. And then there’s all these companies that are development-stage companies. That may be development-stage companies for a very long time. And that’s IONQ, that’s D-Wave. Because they’ll tell you listen, we’re working very hard, but we’re nowhere near, they’re working hard. IBM actually has something right now that is pretty positive. IBM, David. It could reinvent finance.”
