BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) (“Rigetti'' or the “Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced that it was awarded a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Information Directorate to supply its researchers with quantum foundry services.

加利福尼亚州伯克利，2023年9月19日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）-Rigetti Computing，Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：RGTI）（“Rigetti”或“Company”），全堆栈量子经典计算的先驱，今天宣布，它与空军研究实验室（AFRL）信息理事会签订了为期五年的无限期交付不确定数量（IDIQ）合同，为其研究人员提供quantum foundry服务。

This contract allows AFRL to leverage Rigetti’s fabrication and manufacturing capabilities to build customized quantum systems. Within the scope of the contract, Rigetti will be able to provide quantum integrated circuits (QuICs), quantum-limited amplifiers, cryogenic microwave components, and 9Q QPUs.

该合同允许AFRL利用Rigetti的制造和制造能力来构建定制的量子系统。在合同范围内，Rigetti将能够提供量子集成电路（QuICs），量子限制放大器，低温微波组件和9Q QPU。

This contract builds on the existing relationship between Rigetti and AFRL to harness the Company’s fabrication capabilities for quantum networking hardware research and development. “We are extremely privileged that AFRL’s world-class team of researchers have chosen to use Rigetti’s fabrication facilities and expertise to conduct its critical, fundamental research on how to build the next generation of quantum networks,” said Dr.

该合同建立在Rigetti和AFRL之间现有关系的基础上，利用公司的量子网络硬件研究和开发制造能力。博士说：“我们非常荣幸AFRL的世界一流研究团队选择使用Rigetti的制造设施和专业知识对如何构建下一代量子网络进行关键的基础研究。”。

Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti Chief Executive Officer. “Being granted an IDIQ contract with such an esteemed institution reinforces our existing partnership, and demonstrates the value of our fabrication capabilities.” Since being established in 2016 as the world’s first dedicated quantum foundry, Rigetti’s Fab-1 has been used for fabricating chips for internal research and development for the Company’s state-of-the-art quantum systems.

Subodh Kulkarni，Rigetti首席执行官。“与这样一个受尊敬的机构签订IDIQ合同加强了我们现有的合作关系，并展示了我们制造能力的价值。”自2016年成立全球第一个专门的量子铸造厂以来，Rigetti的Fab-1已被用于制造芯片用于公司最先进的量子系统的内部研究和开发。

Fab-1 has also been used by leading research institutions such as AFRL to pursue novel scientific research since 2020. This partnership with AFRL has the potential to improve Rigetti’s understanding of the fabrication proce.

自2020年以来，Fab-1也被AFRL等领先研究机构用于追求新的科学研究。与AFRL的这种合作有可能提高Rigetti对制造工艺的理解。
