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
Rigetti Computing wins Innovate UK competition to deliver a 24-qubit quantum computing system to the National Quantum Computing Centre
The proposed 24-qubit quantum computing system will be based on Rigetti’s fourth generation Ankaa™-class architecture and will be made available to NQCC researchers for testing, benchmarking, and exploratory applications development.
Rigetti Computing awarded Innovate UK grant to develop quantum machine learning techniques for financial data streams
Rigetti will be joined by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Imperial College London, and Standard Chartered to develop quantum machine learning techniques designed to enable financial institutions to more effectively process, interpret, and make decisions with complex data streams.
Rigetti announces public availability of Ankaa-2 System with a 2.5x performance improvement compared to previous QPUs
The Company’s 84-qubit Ankaa™-2 system is now publicly available to all of its customers via Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services (QCS™). The Ankaa-2 system has achieved a 98% median 2-qubit fidelity, a 2.5x performance improvement compared to the Company’s previous QPUs.
Quantum-enhanced machine learning with Moody’s Analytics
We believe that the finance sector has problems that could benefit from the unique properties of quantum computing. This is why we are delighted to announce the signing of a collaboration agreement with Moody’s Analytics — one of the world’s leading financial intelligence and analytics companies — to develop quantum machine learning methods for the financial sector.
Rigetti’s newest evolution: The Novera QPU, the premiere “personal” quantum computer
In SMPL Q+A, we interview our practitioners on all things relevant to branding, design and simplicity. Here, we speak with our experts about our work with Rigetti, a full-stack quantum computing company, and their first commercially available quantum processing unit (QPU), the Novera QPU.
Bringing Python and Rust together in harmony for pyQuil® 4.0
We’ve spent the last year retrofitting pyQuil®, Rigetti’s Python library for writing and running quantum programs using Quil, with our modern Rust SDKs. Our newly released pyQuil v4.0 provides the enhancements needed to run and compile programs on our fourth generation Ankaa™-class QPUs, and offers improved performance, stronger type safety, and access to other exciting new features.
Rigetti launches the Novera QPU, the company’s first commercially available QPU
The Novera QPU is Rigetti’s first commercially available QPU. The QPU includes a 9-qubit chip that features tunable couplers for fast 2-qubit operations and a 5-qubit chip for testing single-qubit operations. The Novera QPU is based on Rigetti’s fourth generation Ankaa-class architecture.
