Rigetti Deepens Quantum Partnerships and Advances 1,000-Qubit Roadmap
Rigetti deepened ties with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, supplying a 9-qubit Novera system for the NSF-funded TangleLab testbed to develop hybrid quantum-classical HPC workloads. It said on-prem deployments are on track, including a 108-qubit C-DAC system in India, while Cepheus progress nears 108-qubit targets and plans for ~1,000-qubit systems advance. Proposed U.S. Commerce funding up to $100M and planned UK investments are expected to bolster manufacturing and chiplet development.
