Calculation rejection RGTI has obtained a $ 5.8 million contract over three years from the US Air Force Research Laboratory (“AFRL”) to advance the superconductive quantum networking, marking one of the most strategic government victories of the company to date. The collaboration with the Dutch startup Qphox, known for its microwave transduction technology with optics to Photon, positions Rigetti to resolve one of the largest bottlenecks in the domain: link the superconductive qubits over long distances. In the event of success, the project could allow distributed quantum IT and secure quantum communication by punching cryogenically cooled processors with water temperature -based networks. This technical step would not only strengthen the scalability of Rigetti’s modular chiplet architecture, but will also strengthen American leadership in the world race towards quantum internet infrastructure.
Beyond technical validation, the AFRL agreement strengthens the credibility of Rigetti to gain high value government contracts, which ensure the stability of financing and the early adoption pathways for quantum systems. With more than $ 425 million in cash reserves during the last quarterly update and no debt in its balance sheet, Rigetti has the track to invest in an aggressively investing in the development of multi-generation processors while taking advantage of the government sustained by the government to compensate for R&D costs. The integration of QPHOX technology could also accelerate Rigetti’s marketing prospects by proving interoperability with emerging telecommunications (QLAN) networks (QLAN).
For investors, this price stresses that Rigetti’s history of growth is no longer limited to laboratory breakthroughs – it is also validated by institutional partners with strategic interest in operational quantum systems.
Quantum of the D wave QBTS: D-Wave recently survived a vague momentum, with its stock reaching new 52-week summits in the middle of growing interest in Quantum and AI. During its recent Japan 2025 qubits event, the company unveiled the Advantage architecture 2 and highlighted a strong leap in reservations in the Asia-Pacific region. It is an intelligent game: by leaning in its receipt niche and by targeting the use of optimization, D-Wave continues to position itself as a more practical point of entry in Quantum for industry customers.
Quantum Computing Inc. QUBT: QUBT recently made the headlines by announcing a private investment of $ 500 million overwriters, which will increase its War Cash trunk to around 850 million dollars after closing. The capital increase is specifically designed to accelerate marketing, support strategic acquisitions, improve engineering efforts and expand sales.
