Rigetti also plans to develop a 336-qubit system called Lyra™. In February 2023, the company underwent a strategic shift, resulting in a workforce reduction of approximately 28% to focus on nearer-term priorities. Rigetti anticipates the need for additional capital to fund its research and development efforts and has taken steps to secure funding, including entering into an ATM Sales Agreement for the sale of up to $100 million of common stock. The company's financial condition has been affected by macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and rising interest rates, which may impact future operations and capital requirements.
