Rigetti Computing Awarded Phase 2 of DARPA Benchmarking Program
2023年11月21日 - 10:30PM
Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) (“Rigetti” or the
“Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing,
today announced that it was awarded Phase 2 of the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Quantum Benchmarking Program to
develop benchmarks for quantum application performance on
large-scale quantum computers. The award is worth up to $1.5
million based on the achievement of certain milestones.
The goal of the DARPA Benchmarking Program is to create key
quantum computing metrics for fault tolerant quantum computing,
make those metrics testable, and estimate the required quantum and
classical resources needed to reach critical performance
thresholds. The three-year project comprises two phases. Rigetti
was awarded Phase 1 in March 2022, and Phase 2 will be completed in
March 2025. The University of Technology Sydney, Aalto University,
and the University of Southern California will continue to be
project partners in Phase 2.
“We are very proud to have been recognized for the work we
delivered in Phase 1. This is a testament to the entire team’s
performance. This work allows us to get a deeper understanding of
what areas in our quantum system need improvement to get closer to
fault tolerance, and how our quantum computers need to scale in
order to solve some of humanity's most important and pressing
problems,” says Dr. Subodh Kulkari, CEO of Rigetti.
The key output of Phase 1 was the development of a resource
estimation framework to provide insight into the requirements of a
superconducting quantum computing system necessary for solving
large-scale, complex problems. Phase 2 will entail refining and
optimizing our estimates for selected utility-scale problems,
delivering new upper bounds on these requirements.
Another benefit of this resource estimation framework is to
enable a cost benefit analysis into whether the resources needed to
run a quantum application will be met by the value of solving the
particular problem. A challenge in developing quantum algorithms is
understanding how a problem will scale, and at what point a dataset
is large or complex enough to benefit from the unique properties of
quantum computing. Estimating the amount of time, the number of
qubits, and the energy required could accelerate the work towards
designing an optimized algorithm.
Phase 2 will be heavily focused on researching fault-tolerant
quantum applications. Of particular interest are dynamical
chemistry simulations and modeling the dynamics of quantum
systems.
“By collaborating with domain experts who have quantum-amenable
use cases, we get a valuable feedback loop that enables us to make
improvements on the hardware and software level to improve quantum
algorithm performance. Having a tool that takes a specific problem
and a particular architectural model, and provides a detailed
accounting of the resources required to solve that problem allows
us to work backwards to create better benchmarks to measure our
progress in building useful quantum computers,” says Dr. Josh
Mutus, Director of Quantum Materials at Rigetti.

contractors successfully and in a timely manner; the potential of
quantum computing; the ability of Rigetti to obtain government
contracts and the availability of government funding; the ability
of Rigetti to expand its QCS business; the success of Rigetti’s
partnerships and collaborations; Rigetti’s ability to accelerate
its development of multiple generations of quantum processors; the
outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
Rigetti or others; the ability to meet stock exchange listing
standards; costs related to operating as a public company; changes
in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that Rigetti may
be adversely affected by other economic, business, or competitive
factors; Rigetti’s estimates of expenses and profitability; the
evolution of the markets in which Rigetti competes; the ability of
Rigetti to execute on its technology roadmap; the ability of
Rigetti to implement its strategic initiatives, expansion plans and
continue to innovate its existing services; the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on Rigetti’s business; disruptions in banking
systems, increased costs, international trade relations, political
turmoil, natural catastrophes, warfare (such as the ongoing
military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions
against Russia), and terrorist attacks; and other risks and
