Rigetti Announces Purchase Orders for Two Quantum Computing Systems Totaling Approximately $5.7 Million

BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) (“Rigetti” or the “Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, announced today that it has secured purchase orders totaling approximately $5.7 million for two 9-qubit Novera™ quantum computing systems. Both systems are upgradeable, allowing the customers to increase the system qubit count for more complex computations and research. Delivery for both systems is expected in the first half of 2026.

One system is being purchased by an Asian technology manufacturing company. The system will serve as a testbed to develop internal quantum computing expertise. They also plan to benchmark and validate their own quantum computing technologies with the Novera system.

The other system is being purchased by a California-based applied physics and artificial intelligence startup. The system will be used for quantum hardware and error correction research.

“The Novera QPU continues to be chosen and trusted by national labs and researchers across the world to advance quantum computing technology R&D,” says Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO. “We are excited to see the increased demand for on-premises quantum computing systems as the industry matures.”

Rigetti’s Novera quantum computing systems includes all of the components needed for a hands-on and high performance quantum computing R&D:

  • A 9-qubit quantum processor based on Rigetti’s Ankaa™-class architecture, featuring a square lattice of qubits and tunable couplers for high fidelity two-qubit operations
  • A compatible dilution refrigerator to keep the qubits cold and vacuum-sealed
  • Rigetti’s state-of-the-art control systems to control, calibrate, and read out the qubit states

The Novera quantum computing system is ideal for pursuing research to better understand key areas of quantum computing, including: (1) how qubits operate, (2) how to optimize control systems, (3) testing how to design and characterize gates, (4) ways to mitigate decoherence, and (5) how to develop more efficient quantum algorithms.

The Novera QPU is manufactured in Rigetti’s Fab-1, the industry’s first dedicated and integrated quantum device manufacturing facility.

About Rigetti

Rigetti is a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing. The Company has operated quantum computers over the cloud since 2017 and serves global enterprise, government, and research clients through its Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services platform. In 2021, Rigetti began selling on-premises quantum computing systems with qubit counts between 24 and 84 qubits, supporting national laboratories and quantum computing centers. Rigetti’s 9-qubit Novera™ QPU was introduced in 2023 supporting a broader R&D community with a high-performance, on-premises QPU designed to plug into a customer’s existing cryogenic and control systems. The Company’s proprietary quantum-classical infrastructure provides high-performance integration with public and private clouds for practical quantum computing. Rigetti has developed the industry’s first multi-chip quantum processor for scalable quantum computing systems. The Company designs and manufactures its chips in-house at Fab-1, the industry’s first dedicated and integrated quantum device manufacturing facility. Learn more at .
