Rigetti Computing designs and manufactures superconducting quantum computers intended to solve complex computational problems in optimization, machine learning, simulation, and molecular modeling that classical computers cannot efficiently address. The company owns and operates its own fabrication facility, controls its full technology stack from chip design through cloud software delivery, and sells quantum processing units and cloud access services to enterprise customers, government agencies including DARPA and the Department of Energy, and academic institutions, while also generating revenue from technology development contracts and foundry services. Rigetti's competitive advantages include proprietary superconducting qubits with gate speeds significantly faster than competing quantum modalities and a patented multi-chip modular architecture designed to enable scalability.
