Rigetti Computing is a pioneering quantum computing company that designs and manufactures superconducting quantum processors alongside a complementary software stack. Founded in 2013 by CEO Chad Rigetti, the company has developed end-to-end quantum systems—from cryogenic hardware to control electronics—to advance the performance and scalability of quantum machines.
At the core of Rigetti’s offering is its Quantum Cloud Services (QCS) platform, which enables developers and enterprises to access quantum processing units (QPUs) and hybrid quantum-classical workflows via the cloud. Rigetti’s Forest software development kit supports programming in familiar languages such as Python, allowing users to develop, simulate and run quantum algorithms against both simulators and live QPUs.
Headquartered in Berkeley, California, Rigetti serves a global customer base that includes academic researchers, government agencies and commercial firms in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, materials science and financial services. The company collaborates with strategic partners and cloud providers to broaden access to quantum resources and accelerate use-case development in areas like optimization, machine learning and quantum chemistry.
Under Chad Rigetti’s leadership, the company completed a public listing in 2022, further fueling its efforts to scale quantum hardware capacity and software capabilities. Rigetti’s executive team combines expertise in quantum physics, engineering and enterprise IT to drive ongoing innovation in what is widely regarded as the next frontier in high-performance computing.
