Rigetti Sets Stage for Quantum Advantage on a High-Impact, Operationally Relevant Challenge
Rigetti Computing, a pioneer in hybrid quantum-classical computing, announced it has developed an effective solution to a weather modeling problem using quantum computers. Building on existing machine learning workflows, the company applied a combination of classical and quantum machine learning techniques to produce high-quality synthetic weather radar data and improve classical models for storm prediction. The work was performed on Rigetti’s 32-qubit system, demonstrating that practical applications are within reach for near-term quantum hardware.
