Ankaa-3 features a broad hardware redesign enabling superior performance. Enhancements across the technology stack include a new cryogenic hardware design, an overhaul of the qubit circuit layout, precise qubit frequency targeting with Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing, and flexible gate architecture with precise controls. Ankaa-3 has achieved a 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity.
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.
