Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)

Rigetti Computing has been awarded a $5.48 million grant by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The project focuses on advancing Rigetti’s Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing (ABAA) process to address superconducting qubit defects. A consortium including Iowa State University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will collaborate on the research. The goal is to scale quantum computing technology through better chip fabrication techniques.
