Rigetti Joins HPE-Led Eight-Firm Hybrid Quantum Supercomputing Platform
RGTI•Rigetti Computing is one of eight firms partnering with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to build a hybrid quantum-supercomputing framework that integrates superconducting, ion trap, neutral atom and silicon spin systems. The platform will combine error-correction technologies with AI and high-performance computing to accelerate the development of practical quantum applications.
1. Partnership Scope
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has assembled eight quantum technology firms—including Rigetti Computing—to develop a hybrid quantum-supercomputing framework. The program aims to integrate diverse quantum hardware systems with HPE’s high-performance computing and AI infrastructure.
2. Rigetti's Role
Rigetti Computing will contribute its superconducting quantum processors and error-correction modules to the hybrid platform. This inclusion positions Rigetti alongside Intel, IQM, Qblox, Quantinuum, QuEra, Quantum Machines and Riverlane.
3. Technical Framework
The framework will support superconducting, ion trap, neutral atom and silicon spin quantum systems, combining them with AI and HPC for error correction, control and performance evaluation. It is designed for testing software compatibility and evaluating real-world quantum-classical workflows.
4. Market Impact
The initiative could accelerate Rigetti’s move from research to commercial applications by providing access to HPE’s enterprise customer base. Successful integration may boost Rigetti’s revenue prospects and market valuation as practical quantum solutions gain traction.
