Rigetti Computing

Today we shared Rigetti's Q2 2025 financial highlights and technology milestones on our path to quantum advantage. 💰 Strong cash position: $571.6 million as of June 30, 2025.  Well positioned to support commercial scale-up of our superconducting gate-based quantum computers. 🚀 Cepheus-1-36Q launch: The industry’s largest multi-chip quantum computer, now live on Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services (QCS®), with Microsoft Azure availability coming soon. The system has achieved a 99.5% median 2Q gate fidelity, a 2x reduction in error rate from our previous Ankaa-3 system. 🎯 100+ qubit system on track: Targeting launch by year-end with a median 99.5% 2Q gate fidelity, continuing to deliver on our ambitious roadmap. Our team is pushing the boundaries of scalable, high-performance superconducting qubits and building quantum systems designed to deliver real-world impact.  Read more in our full release: https://lnkd.in/e2ud3bGw

🔈 Yesterday we shared the exciting news that Rigetti, in collaboration with QphoX, was awarded a three-year, $5.8M contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance quantum networking technology. As reported by Barron's, this project aims to deliver systems providing entanglement between superconducting qubits and optical photons, the essential building block of quantum networking. 📰 From the article: “We’re talking about the ability to transfer information from one computer to another in the quantum state. It’s a necessary component, long-term, to making sure quantum computers get integrated into the fabric of data centers.” — Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO Full article: https://lnkd.in/ePXF8b2B

Very excited to be deploying qubits + quantum transducers jointly with Rigetti Computing at the Air Force Research Laboratory facility... 🚀

Exciting news from QphoX! We’re proud to announce that QphoX and Rigetti Computing have been awarded a $5.8M, three-year contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to advance superconducting quantum networking. This collaboration will combine Rigetti’s expertise in superconducting qubits with QphoX’s cutting-edge microwave-to-optical transduction technology. Together, we aim to enable long-range, room-temperature quantum state transfer and pave the way for distributed quantum computing and a secure quantum internet. This project marks a critical step toward scaling quantum systems and building the infrastructure for the quantum networks of the future.

Rigetti Computing optimization guru Maxime Dupont speaking about "quantum preconditioning"-- quantum transforming data before feeding it into a classical solver at #IEEEQCE25

This is a fantastic example of how researchers are leveraging current quantum computing systems to explore and advance hybrid quantum algorithms. We’re delighted to see how Strangeworks leveraged our 84-qubit Ankaa-3 system via Amazon Web Services (AWS) Braket to demonstrate their new quantum optimization algorithm to address Airbus’ aircraft cargo loading problem.
