Rigetti

◐ Design-level API
This page documents qalgora-Q API design, architecture, or adaptation workflows. Code examples illustrate intended usage and are not guaranteed to run in the current reference implementation.

Rigetti builds superconducting processors using scalable multi-chip technology, available through Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum.

Systems

Qubit counts, fidelities, and dates below are from Rigetti's public materials; as of the documentation review date, public sources read this way, and specifics defer to Rigetti's official announcements.

SystemQubits2-qubit fidelity (reported)Notes
Ankaa-38499.5% median (reported)Single-chip square lattice (Dec 2024); iSWAP / fSim gates
Cepheus-1-108Q10899.1% median (99.5% targeted 2026) (reported)Flagship; 3×4 array of twelve 9-qubit chiplets; CZ-native; GA on Braket Apr 2026

Native gates & connectivity

AspectRigetti hardware
Native 1-qubitRX(±π/2), RZ (virtual Z)
Native 2-qubitAnkaa-3: parametric iSWAP / fSim. Cepheus-1-108Q: adiabatic CZ (replaces iSWAP, lower leakage)
ConnectivityTunable-coupler square lattice; Cepheus tiles 9-qubit chiplets with intermodule couplers

Access routes

Reach Rigetti directly via Quantum Cloud Services (QCS), or through a broker — Amazon Braket, Azure Quantum, or qBraid. Each of these is an adapter workflow only: the open qalgora-Q reference build does not natively submit to Rigetti. Existing Quil / pyQuil programs can come in via OpenQASM.

Submission is a planned adapter workflow
Submitting to Rigetti through Braket / Azure / QCS / qBraid is a planned adapter workflow, not native to qalgora-Q. The open reference build runs locally; the remote submission lines below are commented as a planned flow. (bell is a predefined kernel from earlier in these docs.)
import qalgora
# Planned Rigetti adapter (via Amazon Braket) — NOT in the open reference build.
# qalgora.set_target("braket",
#                    machine="arn:aws:braket:us-west-1::device/qpu/rigetti/Cepheus-1-108Q")
# counts = qalgora.sample(bell, shots_count=1000)        # bell = predefined kernel
# via Azure: machine="rigetti.qpu.cepheus-1-108q"
Reference build runs locally — not real hardware
This example targets a remote cloud/QPU, but the open reference build does not submit to a real machine — it warns and falls back to the local CPU statevector simulator, returning simulated results. Submitting to an actual device (e.g. 天衍/TianYan, IBM, IonQ, Origin) requires the vendor’s own SDK and credentials.

Chiplet scaling

Rigetti tiles small, individually-tested 9-qubit chiplets into a larger module — Cepheus-1-108Q is a 3×4 array of twelve — scaling qubit count while keeping fabrication yields high. qalgora-Q transpiles to the device's native two-qubit gates and routes across the coupling map. The on-premises Novera QPU (9 qubits) brings the same technology in-house.

Roadmap (vendor roadmap, not realized capability)
Rigetti's published roadmap targets a 150+ qubit system at 99.7% two-qubit fidelity by late 2026, and a 1,000+ qubit system at 99.8% by end of 2027 — scaling the chiplet architecture via superconducting interconnects. These are vendor roadmap targets, not realized capability; as of the documentation review date, specifics defer to Rigetti's official announcements.
Fast gates
Superconducting gate operations run on nanosecond timescales, giving very high circuit throughput — a good fit for the many-shot sampling that variational algorithms demand.

本页描述的是 qalgora-Q 的接口设计、架构设计或适配工作流。相关代码用于说明预期用法,当前参考实现不保证可以直接运行。

Rigetti 采用可扩展多芯片技术构建超导处理器,可通过 Amazon Braket 和 Azure Quantum 访问。

接入方式

可经 Quantum Cloud Services(QCS)直连 Rigetti,也可通过代理接入——Amazon Braket、Azure Quantum 或 qBraid。以上各路径均仅为适配器流程:开放参考实现并不会原生提交到 Rigetti。现有 Quil / pyQuil 程序可经由 OpenQASM 导入。

import qalgora
# 规划中的 Rigetti 适配器(经 Amazon Braket)—— 开放参考实现中不包含。
# qalgora.set_target("braket",
#                    machine="arn:aws:braket:us-west-1::device/qpu/rigetti/Cepheus-1-108Q")
# counts = qalgora.sample(bell, shots_count=1000)        # bell 为预定义内核
# 经 Azure:machine="rigetti.qpu.cepheus-1-108q"
参考实现仅本地运行 · 非真机
此示例虽指向远程云端/QPU,但开放参考实现不会真正提交到真机 —— 它会给出告警并回退到本地 CPU 态矢量模拟器,返回模拟结果,不会真正提交到天衍等真机。真正提交真机需使用对应厂商的 SDK 与凭证。

芯粒扩展

Rigetti 将经单独测试的 9 比特小芯粒拼接成更大的模组——Cepheus-1-108Q 即为十二块组成的 3×4 阵列——在保持高制造良率的同时提升量子比特数量。qalgora-Q 将线路转译为设备的原生双比特门,并按耦合图完成布线。本地部署的 Novera QPU(9 比特)则将同一技术引入自有机房。

路线图(厂商路线图,非已实现能力)
Rigetti 公布的路线图目标:2026 年底推出 150+ 比特、双比特保真度 99.7% 的系统,2027 年底推出 1,000+ 比特、99.8% 的系统——通过超导互连扩展芯粒架构。以上为厂商路线图目标,而非已实现能力;截至文档核对日期,具体以 Rigetti 官方公告为准。
快速门
超导门操作在纳秒级,线路吞吐极高,非常适合变分算法所需的多次采样。
