Thanks to its savvy partnerships and exciting quantum computing road map, Rigetti Computing’s stock is jumping. Important benchmarks drawing investor confidence include the release of its 84-qubit Ankaa 3 systemby year-end and a 100+ qubit system in 2025. Strong development promise comes from partnerships with NVIDIA (NVDA), Fermilab, and others as well as possible DARPA contracts and more U.S. quantum funding.
