Rigetti Computing

Hello.
We’re Rigetti.

MIT listed us in the top 30
smartest companies in the
world. We’re also aiming to be
the most fun, but MIT doesn’t
have a list for that yet.

Fabricate
to innovate

We design and fabricate all
our quantum chips in our
facility in Fremont, CA.

Welcome
to the lab

Our Berkeley laboratory
houses our quantum
computing center.

On a mission to build the world's
most powerful computers

Rigetti Computing is building the world’s most powerful computers to help solve humanity’s greatest problems. The company was founded in 2013 by Chad Rigetti and is based in Berkeley and Fremont, CA. Rigetti has raised over $119 million from investors, including Andreessen Horowitz and Vy Capital. We currently have over 50 U.S. patent applications on file,
with many more in process.

Our approach

Integrated quantum-classical computing leverages today’s existing high-power processors and the advanced computational power of quantum chips to accelerate deployment of quantum computing in the near term. Rigetti is the only company deploying full-stack solutions for this integrated computing environment.

We design
and manufacture
superconducting quantum
integrated circuits at
our in-house
fabrication facility.

We package and deploy
those chips in cryogenic
environments and build
software that integrates our
systems directly
into cloud infrastructure.

Our quantum-first cloud
platform provides dedicated
access to our quantum
hardware through a virtual
development environment.

Quantum Cloud Services is our quantum-first integrated cloud platform that gives users access to our real quantum hardware through a virtual programming environment.
