Rigetti Computing’s Post

We are thrilled to announce that Rigetti was selected to participate in Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI)!  The objective of DARPA’s QBI program is to verify and validate that quantum computing can achieve utility-scale operation by 2033. Rigetti will advance to Stage A, a 6-month performance period focused on our utility-scale quantum computer (USQC) concept that combines our proprietary multi-chip architecture with scalable quantum error correction (QEC) codes. We’ll be collaborating with Riverlane on this project, who will be leveraging their QEC expertise to help refine our USQC concept and validate the underlying technology.  “Rigetti has spent the last decade developing the IP and expertise needed to build and deliver high-performing quantum computers. The DARPA QBI sets out to prove a realistic path to quantum utility, which we believe we are well positioned to deliver,” says Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO. “The DARPA QBI program is closely aligned with Rigetti's technology roadmap, which includes building out our QEC capabilities and developing fault-tolerant architectures.” https://lnkd.in/ecH38VyC
