Rigetti Computing to report first quarter 2025 financial results and host conference call on May 12, 2025
Rigetti will release first quarter 2025 results on May 12, 2025 after market close. The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial results and provide an update on its business operations at 5:00 p.m. ET the same day.
When will quantum computing be ready for prime time? Inside Rigetti’s big bet
On the latest episode of After Earnings, we spoke with Rigetti CEO Dr. Subodh Kulkarni about quantum science and its applications today. He talked about how Rigetti tries to compete with the quantum computing R&D budgets of Big Tech players, the company's push towards a 100-qubit processor, and the promise of new breakthroughs.
Rigetti granted Air Force Office of Scientific Research award to further develop breakthrough chip fabrication technology
The $5.48 million Rigetti-led consortium will include Iowa State University, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, the University of Connecticut, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The project aims to develop a deeper understanding of how Rigetti’s novel chip fabrication process, Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing (ABAA), reduces defects in superconducting qubits.
Rigetti wins Innovate UK’s Quantum Missions pilot competition to advance quantum error correction capabilities on superconducting quantum computers
Rigetti, in collaboration with Riverlane and the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), has been selected as one of the winners of Innovate UK’s Quantum Missions pilot competition. Leveraging Rigetti’s quantum computer hosted at the NQCC, the £3.5 million Rigetti-led consortium aims to benchmark and enhance the quantum error correction capabilities of superconducting quantum computers — a requirement for achieving large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing.
The high-street bank HSBC has worked with the NQCC, hardware provider Rigetti and the Quantum Software Lab to investigate the advantages that quantum computing could offer for detecting the signs of fraud in transactional data.
Rigetti and IonQ selected for U.S. quantum initiative. Moving ‘from hype to prototype.’
Rigetti Computing was among the companies chosen by the U.S. government to participate in a multi-year program assessing the viability of quantum computing.The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a research arm of the U.S. Department of Defense, unveiled the 15 finalists for its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative on Thursday.
Rigetti computing selected to participate in DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative
Rigetti announced today that it was selected to participate in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). The primary goal of QBI is to determine if any approach to quantum computing can achieve utility-scale operation by 2033. Rigetti will advance to Stage A, a 6-month performance period focused on the Company’s utility-scale quantum computer concept worth up to $1 million upon completion of program milestones.
Rigetti Computing has room to grow. Why the CEO Is tempering expectations for quantum.
Rigetti Computing's approach to quantum development says a lot about the company. It is grounded solidly in scientific research and iteration, and, most importantly, doesn’t want to get ahead of itself.
Automated and streamlined Novera QPU bring-up with Qblox and QuantrolOx
We recently had the pleasure of hosting QuantrolOx, the developer of Quantum EDGE software for automated bring-up, characterization, and tuning of quantum devices, and Qblox, a leading provider of scalable and modular quantum control stacks, to demonstrate two-qubit bring-up and characterization on a Novera.
