Rigetti Expands Collaboration with HPE and Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center to Build New Hybrid Quantum-Classical Supercomputer

Rigetti will deliver a 9-qubit Novera™ quantum computing system to the new Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center testbed, which is being funded by a $5 million National Science Foundation grant. This builds on Rigetti’s existing strategic collaboration with HPE to commercialize quantum-enabled high-performance computing systems.

BERKELEY, Calif., July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) (“Rigetti” or the “Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced that it will partner with HPE and Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (“PSC”) to build the TangleLab supercomputing testbed. The PSC-based testbed, which is being funded by a $5 million National Science Foundation (“NSF”) grant, will feature a supercomputer powered by a 9-qubit Novera™ quantum computing system integrated with a classical high-performance computing (“HPC”) system.
