FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rigetti Computing, Inc. (“Rigetti” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RGTI), shares pioneering commercial developments in hybrid quantum-classical computing. Ahead of the previously announced investor day, including updates on its partnerships, the Fab-1 facility and the status of its technology roadmap.
“As a trailblazer in quantum, Righetti is focused on delivering performance at scale while maintaining the goal of being the industry standard,” said Chad Righetti, the company’s founder and CEO. “We are making strategic investments in quantum hardware, software and partnerships that we believe will enable us to move to quantum advantage.”
Righetti continued, “Additionally, we are excited to announce several key partnerships. “These include a collaboration with BlueForce to develop new modular dilution fridges to support 336Q, 1,000+ qubit and 4,000+ qubit quantum processing units. Earlier this week, we released a public preview of our 80Q Aspen-M-2 and 40Q Aspen-11 systems on Microsoft Azure Quantum. RIGATI quantum computers are currently available on two of the world’s largest public cloud platforms.
Keysight True-Q error mitigation tools on Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services (QCS™).
Rigetti expects to soon release Keysight’s True-Q error reduction software integrated with Rigetti QCS in the coming months. For Righetti, this will be the first third-party software tool to be directly integrated into the QCS platform, enabling the acceleration of the company’s partnership strategy to quantum advantage.
“Keysight’s True-Q software brings the broad set of capabilities that Rigetti’s user base needs to achieve high-performance quantum computing,” said Joseph Emerson, QES Director of Advanced Research at Keysight Technologies. “We’ve worked together to streamline access to Keysight’s advanced quantum computing technologies for Regetti customers. I’m excited to see the results of Keysight’s software tools integrated with the Regetti platform.
Cooperation Working with NVIDIA to develop a hybrid GPU-QPU workflow for climate modeling
Rigetti has launched a new collaboration with NVIDIA to develop a hybrid GPU-QPU workflow for climate modeling applications. The project aims to evaluate the narrow quantum advantage in this research domain by applying quantum machine learning techniques in high-performance hybrid processing. The work will build on Righetti’s recent research into climate modeling applications.
“Addressing the growing climate challenges is one of society’s most critical tasks, and improving our climate modeling capabilities is essential to making informed decisions,” said Tim Costa, Director of HPC and Quantum Products at NVIDIA. “Working with Righetti, we will explore how combining the best of quantum and GPU-accelerated computing can solve this challenge.”
Public preview of Rigetti Quantum Processors is on Microsoft Azure Quantum
Earlier this week, Rigetti announced the release of Aspen-M-2 80-qubit and Aspen-11 40-qubit in public preview on Azure Quantum. Rigetti’s integration with Azure supports Quill, Rigetti’s native quantum programming language, and Quil-T for pulse level programming. With the announcement of Azure, Rigetti is now available on two of the world’s largest public cloud platforms.
Performance at Scale: Aims to deliver next-generation hardware by 2023.
- Righetti remains on track to deliver by 2023 with a focus on delivering modest performance against its previously announced hardware roadmap. The upcoming 84-qubit Ancaa™ system is scheduled for release in 2023, followed by the 336-qubit Lyra™ system expected in 2023. Anka and Lira are expected to leverage Regatta’s fourth-generation circuit architecture to deliver high connectivity and tunable coupling. Finally, to provide more than 99% reliability. In particular, the Lira system is expected to combine Rigeti’s multi-chip scaling technology with its fourth-generation architecture to bring together Rigeti’s growth in size and performance.
- Righetti is expanding its Fab-1 facility, which is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. The build will include an additional 5,000 square feet of clean room space for wafer manufacturing — potentially doubling its original capacity — as well as additional capabilities to perform tightly integrated cryo-microwave testing on Rigetti’s quantum chips.
- Righetti has entered into a partnership with Blueforce, a supplier of next-generation cryogenics systems that Righetti expects will use 336-qubit, 1,000+ qubit and 4,000+ qubit quantum processing units. These new KDED cryogenic platforms are expected to offer greater size, cooling power and modular design to support Rigetti’s integrated product roadmap. Righetti plans to deliver the first KIDE in early 2023, with subsequent deliveries planned for late 2023 and beyond.
