BERKELEY, Calif., Dec.  23, 2024  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) ("Rigetti" or the "Company"), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, announced today the public launch of its 84-qubit Ankaa-3 system. Ankaa-3 is Rigetti's newest flagship quantum computer featuring an extensive hardware redesign that enables superior performance. Rigetti also celebrates major two-qubit gate fidelity milestones with Ankaa-3: successfully halving error rates in 2024 to achieve a median 99.0% iSWAP gate fidelity, as well as demonstrating 99.5% median fidelity fSim gates.

加利福尼亞州伯克利,2024年12月23日(環球新聞社)-- Rigetti Computing, Inc.(納斯達克:RGTI)("Rigetti"或"公司"),作爲全棧量子經典計算的先驅,今天宣佈推出其84量子比特的Ankaa-3系統。Ankaa-3是Rigetti最新的旗艦量子計算機,具有廣泛的硬件重新設計,能夠提供卓越的性能。Rigetti還在Ankaa-3上慶祝主要的兩量子比特門保真度里程碑:成功在2024年將誤差率減半,實現了中位數99.0%的iSWAP門保真度,同時演示了99.5%的中位數fSim門保真度。

Ankaa-3 is now available to its partners via the Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services platform (QCS) and will be coming to Amazon Braket and Microsoft Azure in the first quarter of 2025. Users will be able to operate these higher fidelity and universal iSWAP gates for a wide range of algorithmic research, with a median gate time of 72 nanoseconds. The faster (median 56 nanoseconds), more specialized fSim gates are useful for specific algorithms such as random circuit sampling, as recently demonstrated on Google's Willow system.

Ankaa-3 現在可以通過 Rigetti 量子雲服務平台(QCS)提供給其合作伙伴,並將在2025年第一季度推出到亞馬遜 Braket 和微軟 Azure。用戶將能夠使用這些更高保真度和通用的 iSWAP 門進行廣泛的算法研究,門的中位時間爲 72 納秒。更快(中位 56 納秒)、更專業的 fSim 門對於特定算法(例如隨機電路採樣)十分有用,正如最近在谷歌的 Willow 系統上展示的那樣。

The Ankaa-3 system continues to feature Rigetti's scalable, industry-leading chip architecture with 3D signal delivery while incorporating major enhancements to key technologies. Leveraging the Company's full-stack expertise and in-house quantum foundry capabilities, Ankaa-3 demonstrates Rigetti's ability to deliver increasingly higher performance quantum computers.

Ankaa-3 系統繼續採用 Rigetti 可擴展的行業領先芯片架構,具備 3D 信號傳輸,同時對關鍵技術進行了重大增強。利用公司全棧專業技術和內部量子鑄造能力,Ankaa-3 展示了 Rigetti 提供日益高性能量子計算機的能力。

The Company's focus on improving qubit fidelity has resulted in enhancements across the technology stack:

公司的重點是提高量子比特的保真度,從而在科技堆棧中實現了增強:

  • All new cryogenic hardware design - Reducing the amount of metal at the refrigerator's coldest stage increases efficiency and reduces the cost per qubit. Superior thermalization and magnetic/environmental shielding also improves system performance. This new design enables scaling up to thousands of qubits.

  • Improved qubit chip - Rigetti overhauled its qubit chip, leading to improved coherence. Through its collaboration with the Superconducting Quantum Materials & Systems Center (SQMS) led by Fermilab, Rigetti implemented a metal deposition method for qubit circuitry with a higher T1 baseline -- which indicates the lifetime of a qubit. Additionally, the circuit layout was optimized to minimize qubit losses and take advantage of the new higher-coherence process.

  • Josephson junction fabrication with Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing (ABAA) - The Ankaa-3 chip features the hallmarks of Rigetti's Ankaa-class chip architecture with a square lattice of qubits and tunable couplers. The 84-qubit chip's Josephson junctions are manufactured using Rigetti's novel ABAA technique. ABAA allows for precise qubit frequency targeting, which enables better execution of two-qubit gates and increases in yield, both of which contribute to higher fidelity.

  • Precise control and flexible gate architecture - Rigetti has invested heavily in the control technologies underpinning its QPUs. Chip-wide optimization of qubit and tunable coupler frequencies produces fewer unwanted qubit-qubit interactions, and real-time, in-hardware pulse pre-compensation produces gates with lower incoherent errors. Rigetti has also developed a robust calibration process for highly expressive square-root-iSWAP-like gates while solving some of the compilation challenges associated with their practical usage, resulting in an nQA-oriented gate set with significantly lower error rates.

  • 全新的低溫硬件設計 - 在冰箱最低溫度階段減少金屬數量,提高了效率並降低了每個量子比特的成本。卓越的熱化和磁性/環保母基屏蔽也改善了系統性能。這種新設計使擴展到數千個量子比特成爲可能。

  • 改進的量子比特芯片 - Rigetti對其量子比特芯片進行了徹底改造,提升了相干性。通過與費米實驗室領導的超導量子材料與系統中心(SQMS)的合作,Rigetti實施了一種金屬沉積方法,用於量子比特電路,具有更高的T1基線 -- 這表示量子比特的壽命。此外,電路佈局經過優化,以最小化量子比特損耗,並利用新的高相干性工藝。

  • 具有交替偏置輔助退火(ABAA)的約瑟夫森結制造 - Ankaa-3芯片具有Rigetti Ankaa系列芯片架構的特徵,採用量子比特的方格結構和可調耦合器。這款84量子比特芯片的約瑟夫森結采用Rigetti的新型ABAA技術製造。ABAA允許精確的量子比特頻率定位,從而實現更好地執行兩量子比特門並提高產量,這兩者都助於提高保真度。

  • 精確控制和靈活的門架構 - Rigetti在支撐其量子處理單元(QPUs)的控制技術上進行了大量投資。對量子比特和可調耦合器頻率的芯片級優化減少了不必要的量子比特相互作用,實時硬件脈衝補償產生了更低的非相干誤差的門。Rigetti還開發了一種強大的校準過程,用於高度表達的平方根-iSWAP類門,同時解決了與其實際使用相關的一些編譯挑戰,從而形成了一組以nQA爲導向的門,顯著降低了誤差率。

"With approximately $225 million of cash, cash equivalents and available for sale investments and no debt, we are extremely confident in our ability to deliver on our roadmap and performance goals. The remarkable performance of Ankaa-3 reinforces our leadership in the superconducting quantum computing field -- which we believe is the winning modality for high-performance quantum computers due to their many advantages, including fast gate speeds and well-established manufacturing processes," says Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO.

「憑藉大約22500萬美元的現金、現金等價物和可銷售投資,無債務,我們非常有信心實現我們的路線圖和績效目標。Ankaa-3的卓越表現加強了我們在超導量子計算領域的領導地位 -- 我們相信,這是一種高性能量子計算機的勝出模式,因爲它們具有許多優勢,包括快速的門速度和成熟的製造工藝,」Rigetti首席執行官Subodh Kulkarni博士說。

"Our teams, across the technology stack, work incredibly hard to introduce new, innovative ways to increase our system's performance. As we continue the journey towards fault tolerance, we are constructing computing systems with capabilities that have not been seen before," says David Rivas, Rigetti CTO. "At Rigetti, working closely with our partners, we are committed to finding ways to put those systems to practical use."

"我們的團隊在技術棧的各個方面,努力工作,以引入新的創新方法來提高我們系統的性能。隨着我們繼續向容錯的旅程邁進,我們正在構建前所未見的具有能力的計算系統," Rigetti首席技術官David Rivas表示。"在Rigetti,我們與合作伙伴緊密合作,致力於尋找將這些系統投入實際應用的方法。"

Rigetti plans to introduce the next generation of its modular system architecture, while continuing to increase fidelities, in 2025. By mid-year 2025, the Company expects to release a 36-qubit system based on four 9-qubit chips tiled together, with a targeted 2x reduction in error rates from the current level. By the end of 2025, the Company expects to release a system with over 100 qubits with a targeted 2x reduction in error rates from the current level.

Rigetti計劃在2025年推出其模塊化系統架構的下一代,同時繼續提高保真度。到2025年年中,公司預計將發佈一個基於四個9-qubit芯片拼接在一起的36量子比特系統,目標是將錯誤率降低至當前水平的2倍。到2025年底,公司預計將發佈一個超過100量子比特的系統,目標是將錯誤率降低至當前水平的2倍。
