BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rigetti Computing, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGTI) ("Rigetti"), a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing, today announced a new operating structure designed to scale deployment of on-premises quantum systems, strengthen end-to-end operational execution, and further focus its engineering resources on quantum processor development.

There's no denying it: the quantum-computing sector has been unwound. Over the past month, pure-play quantum stocks have sold off sharply as investors pulled capital out of high-multiple and often pre-profit tech.

Rigetti will deliver a 9-qubit Novera™ quantum computing system to the new Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center testbed, which is being funded by an NSF grant.
