Rigetti Computing

Rigetti Computing, Inc. is a quantum computing company founded in 2013 by physicist Chad Rigetti. Headquartered in Berkeley, California, with an additional facility in Fremont, the company specializes in designing and fabricating superconducting quantum processors. Rigetti offers quantum processing units (QPUs) and quantum computing systems primarily through its cloud platform, providing quantum computing as a service (QCaaS). Their product lineup includes the 9-qubit Novera QPU and the 84-qubit Ankaa-3 system, both accessible via the Forest cloud platform. This platform allows developers to write and test quantum algorithms using the Quil instruction language, supporting hybrid quantum-classical computing. Rigetti also operates an in-house fabrication facility, Fab-1, which enhances their hardware development capabilities. In addition to their products, Rigetti provides professional services such as algorithm development and software support for various sectors, including commercial enterprises and government organizations. Their strategic partnerships with major cloud providers like AWS Braket and Microsoft Azure further expand access to their quantum processors.
