Rigetti Computing supports NVIDIA's NVQLink quantum-AI platform

Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: RGTI) announced its support for NVIDIA NVQLink, a new open platform designed to integrate AI supercomputing with quantum computers.

The Berkeley-based quantum computing company is demonstrating its collaboration with NVIDIA at the Quantum Computing Pavilion at NVIDIA GTC Washington, D.C., where attendees can view a full-scale demonstration of a Rigetti quantum computer in NVIDIA's booth.

"Rigetti is proud to work with NVIDIA in support of the rapidly evolving quantum ecosystem," said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti's CEO. "By providing low latency and high throughput of quantum hardware and AI supercomputing, NVQLink is a very promising resource to accelerate hybrid computation development as we work towards quantum advantage."

Tim Costa, General Manager for Quantum at NVIDIA, said NVQLink "unites quantum processors and control systems with NVIDIA AI supercomputing, delivering a turnkey solution for integrating and scaling quantum hardware."

NVQLink operates as an open architecture that connects CPUs, GPUs, and quantum processing units (QPUs) through the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform. The system aims to provide low-latency, high-throughput connectivity between these components to support hybrid quantum-classical applications.

The collaboration builds on previous work between the companies, including integration of Rigetti's Novera QPU with NVIDIA DGX Quantum to calibrate quantum processing units using AI tools.

Rigetti operates quantum computers through its cloud services platform and manufactures quantum processors at its Fab-1 facility. The company has been selling on-premises quantum computing systems since 2021, with qubit counts ranging from 24 to 84 qubits.

The information is based on a press release statement from Rigetti Computing.
