Rigetti is a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing. Rigetti quantum computers are based on superconducting qubits, which are widely believed to be the leading qubit modality given their maturity, clear path to scaling, and fast gate speeds. Rigetti quantum computing systems achieve gate speeds of 50-70 nanoseconds, which is about 10,000 times faster than trapped-ion systems and 100 times faster than neutral-atom systems.

Rigetti Announces Order for a 108-Qubit Quantum Computer from India’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)
BERKELEY, Calif., (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rigetti
Computing India P L, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) (“Rigetti” or the “Company”),
a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced that it has received an $8.4 million purchase order to deliver a
108-qubit quantum computer to the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India’s premier R&D organization of
the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The system will be installed on-premises at C-DAC’s Bengaluru center and
is scheduled to be deployed in the second half of 2026.
The system includes Rigetti’s proprietary
chiplet-based architecture, which is the foundation of Rigetti’s path to scaling to extremely high qubit count systems required
for error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing.
“We are honored that C-DAC has recognized
the value of Rigetti’s quantum computing technology and expertise by selecting our system for the first quantum computer to be
installed and integrated into their supercomputing dat…
