QphoX, Rigetti Computing (Nasdaq: RGTI), and Qblox announced the publication of their joint research in Nature Physics, demonstrating successful optical readout of superconducting qubits using an optical transducer. The research addresses a critical challenge in quantum computing scalability.
The breakthrough involves converting microwave signals used to control qubits into infrared light that can be transmitted through fiber optics. This solution could overcome current limitations of dilution refrigerators, which cannot accommodate the extensive wiring needed for fault-tolerant quantum computers requiring 10,000 to a million physical qubits.
Using QphoX's piezo-optomechanical technology, the team successfully demonstrated that their transducer can convert qubit readout signals while protecting the qubit from decoherence caused by thermal noise or stray optical photons. This development represents a significant step toward more efficient and scalable quantum computing systems.

Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) has launched its new 84-qubit Ankaa-3 quantum computer, achieving a significant 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity. The system features comprehensive hardware improvements, including a new cryogenic design, redesigned qubit circuit layout, and precise qubit frequency targeting using Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing (ABAA).
The Ankaa-3 will be available via Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services and will launch on Amazon Braket and Microsoft Azure in Q1 2025. The system operates with median gate times of 72 nanoseconds for iSWAP gates and 56 nanoseconds for fSim gates. With approximately $225 million in cash and investments, Rigetti plans to release a 36-qubit system by mid-2025 and a 100+ qubit system by end-2025, both targeting 2x reduction in error rates.
Quantum Machines and Rigetti Computing (RGTI) have announced successful AI-powered automated calibration of a quantum computer. The achievement was part of the 'AI for Quantum Calibration Challenge' at the Israeli Quantum Computing Center, where two companies, Quantum Elements and Qruise, calibrated a 9-qubit Rigetti Novera™ QPU integrated with Quantum Machines' OPX1000 control system.
Quantum Elements achieved 99.9% single-qubit gate fidelity and 98.5% two-qubit gate fidelity, while Qruise successfully fine-tuned all nine qubits simultaneously. The breakthrough addresses a major bottleneck in quantum computing scaling, as traditional manual calibration by quantum physicists becomes impractical with larger systems. Both companies have joined the Novera QPU Partner Program, expanding the ecosystem of quantum computing technology providers.
