Fully operational Rigetti QPU Included in UK’s recently opened National Quantum Computer Centre
Rigetti announced that the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) officially opened the doors of its landmark facility on Harwell Campus on October 25. The facility will support world-class quantum computing research and provide state-of-the-art laboratories for designing, building, and testing quantum computers. Rigetti’s system located at the NQCC is a fully operational 24-qubit Ankaa™-class quantum computer, featuring tunable couplers and a square lattice for fast gate times, enhanced connectivity, and high fidelity
OpenFermion is a new library for simulating quantum chemistry with quantum computers
We have joined a growing collaboration of academic and industry groups building OpenFermion, an open source Python package for running electronic structure calculations on quantum computers
Rigetti Partners with CDL to drive quantum machine learning
We are excited to announce a partnership between Rigetti Computing and the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) to drive the development of quantum machine learning and help realize its full potential.
Rigetti Computing appoints General Peter Pace to board of directors
Rigetti Computing, a full-stack quantum computing company, announced the appointment of retired Marine Corps General Peter Pace to its board of directors.
Though a startup, it’s got its own fab in the Bay Area and an ambitious approach to quantum computing that combines hardware and software, focusing on design that can be easily commercialized.
Today, I’m extremely excited to announce the public beta availability of Forest 1.0, the world’s first full-stack programming and execution environment for quantum/classical computing.
Moore’s Law — putting more and more transistors on a chip — accelerated the computing industry by so many orders of magnitude, it has (and continues to) achieve seemingly impossible feats.
Y Combinator’s quantum computing ‘spaceshot’ scores $64M from a16z, others
Rigetti Computing, which operates out of Berkeley and Fremont, is tackling quantum computing and going up against research being done by the likes of IBM, Intel, Microsoft and others.
Next year, we may see the launch of the first true quantum computers. The implications will be staggering. This blog aims to answer three questions: What are quantum computers? What are their implications? Who’s working on them?
