Rigetti

Rigetti Computing is a publicly traded quantum computing company developing quantum computer hardware and software. Founded roughly a decade ago, the company competes in an emerging market alongside other quantum computing firms including IonQ and IQM.

Rigetti received significant attention following a $100 million award from the Trump administration as part of a broader federal push to accelerate American quantum computing development. The award boosted investor interest and drove a notable increase in the company's stock price.

The quantum computing sector has faced market skepticism in recent months, with financial analysts questioning company roadmaps and timelines for practical quantum systems. Rigetti remains in an early commercialization phase as the industry works toward viable real-world applications.
