Rigetti Computing

Looking back on the summer, we’re still beaming from the energy and talent that interns brought to Rigetti as part of our 2024 Summer Internship Program. We received nearly 400 applications and ultimately selected 9 students to work on projects across our technology stack. Rigetti is on a mission to build the world’s most powerful computers to help solve humanity’s most important and pressing problems, and we can’t do that without looking ahead to the talent of the future. From working on quantum algorithms for optimization to cryogenic hardware development, our interns gained hands-on experience with our quantum computing systems and collaborated with teams across multiple scientific and engineering disciplines. As this year’s program closes, we asked students to share highlights of their time with us and a glimpse of life as a Rigetti intern!

2024 marked a significant milestone with the official opening of the National Quantum Computing Centre’s (NQCC) state-of-the-art facility at Harwell Campus. This isn’t just a building, it’s a purpose-built space designed to foster collaboration and innovation across the UK’s vibrant quantum ecosystem. From hardware pioneers to academic teams and industry leaders, the NQCC is uniting brilliant minds to tackle some of the toughest challenges in quantum computing. By co-locating teams under one roof, the facility fosters knowledge sharing and creates fertile ground for transformative breakthroughs. More than a research centre, the NQCC serves as a hub for training, collaboration, and developing impactful use cases, contributing to the UK’s position as a global leader in responsible quantum innovation.

In the last Risk.net paper of 2024, David Garvin , Oleksiy Kondratyev, Prof. Alexander Lipton and Marco Paini show the advantages of using a quantum algorithm instead of a classical algorithm for the classification of probability distributions. That is a ubiquitous problem in finance and can be used to test strategies out-of-sample, assess alpha decay or detect regime changes, just to name some possible applications. https://lnkd.in/dqUcRqMQ
