𝗗𝗿. 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗵 𝗞𝘂𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶, Rigetti CEO:

“We are excited to have a Novera at the core of TangleLab, which will provide researchers and educators access to a state-of-the-art hybrid quantum-classical computer to push the boundaries of quantum computing innovation and discovery. This system will benefit from the fast gate speeds that are intrinsic to superconducting quantum systems, a critical metric for high-performance hybrid quantum computing environments,” said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO. “Moreover, by collaborating with HPE, the global leader in HPC, we are in a strong position to deliver world-leading hybrid computing solutions -- starting with TangleLab.”

𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗵𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗶, Senior Distinguished Technologist and Director of HPE Quantum at HPE Labs:

“Realizing the potential of quantum computing will depend on how effectively quantum processors integrate with high-performance computing, AI, and advanced networking,” said Masoud Mohseni, Senior Distinguished Technologist and Director of HPE Quantum at HPE Labs. “HPE’s role in TangleLab is to bring those technologies together into a unified hybrid environment, enabling researchers to develop, benchmark, and optimize quantum-classical workflows while gaining critical insight into how future quantum-HPC-AI systems will operate at scale.”
