Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) Trapped ion
Austrian Innsbruck-physics-lab spinout (Rainer Blatt) building rack-mounted commercial ion traps — the only true "quantum computer in a box" product on the market.

Bull case
▲ upsideCommercial rack-mounted ion trap systems (Pine + Marmot) deployed at LRZ, BMW Group, Atos. The only company shipping a self-contained 19-inch-rack quantum computer that fits in a standard data center. Strong EU sovereign customer demand. Heritage from Blatt's Nobel-grade trapped-ion lab.
Bear case
▼ downsideModest size relative to IonQ/Quantinuum. Lower-qubit-count systems (10–24 ions) limit current commercial workloads. Limited US presence.
A profile is a snapshot of an argument, not a verdict. The Ledger updates the score nightly; the thesis we revisit only when the facts change.
