Rigetti Establishes Dedicated Systems Delivery Organization to Scale On-Premises Deployments

Superconducting quantum hardware developer Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) has reorganized its operating structure to separate commercial system deployments from core quantum processor R&D. The company has established a dedicated Systems Delivery organization to manage manufacturing operations, commercial sales, and customer-facing engineering, while consolidating all hardware engineering and chiplet development into a streamlined Technology organization.

[ Rigetti Reorganized Operational Architecture ] │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────┐ ▼ ▼ Systems Delivery & Operations Technology & Hardware Engineering • Manufacturing Operations & Fab-1 Delivery. • Quantum Processor Architecture & Chiplet Design. • On-Premises System Install & Customer Support. • Multi-Chip Interconnects (IMCs) & Cryo-RF. • Commercial Sales, Software & Government Programs. • Targeted 99.5% 2Q Gate Fidelity on Cepheus-1-108Q.

Scaling On-Premises Deployments and Isolating R&D

Historically, customer installation and field support activities were handled directly within Rigetti's core engineering group. The structural shift isolates commercial delivery logistics from core hardware research, allowing the R&D team to focus exclusively on processor fidelity and roadmap execution:

• Commercial System Demand: The dedicated delivery unit will manage scaling and deployment for on-premises hardware, ranging from the 9-qubit Novera QPU to 36-qubit systems and large-scale 108-qubit Cepheus-class systems deployed at national laboratories and quantum computing centers.

• Cepheus-1-108Q Performance Targets: The technology organization remains focused on achieving its benchmark target of 99.5% median two-qubit gate (CZ) fidelity on the Cepheus-1-108Q platform—a 108-qubit QPU constructed by tiling twelve 9-qubit chiplets together using inter-module couplers.

• Fab-1 Integration: Manufacturing operations at Fab-1—the company's integrated quantum device manufacturing facility in Berkeley, California—will align directly with the Systems Delivery arm to streamline assembly, testing, and delivery schedules.
