Rigetti Computing, Riverlane announce participation in project led by ORNL

Riverlane and Rigetti announced their participation in a project led by the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, ORNL, to explore the challenges of integrating a quantum computer with a large-scale, supercomputing centre. To assess the viability of integrating quantum computers into HPC environments, the project partners will build the first-ever benchmarking suite for measuring the performance of a joint HPC + Quantum system. Riverlane, Rigetti and ORNL will publish the results of the project, sharing the key learnings about interoperability issues and performance from interfacing early quantum devices with HPC-infrastructure. This will include key learnings about whether quantum computers should be installed on-site or can be successfully used through remote access.
