Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:RGTI) ("Rigetti" or the "Company"), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced the general availability of its 108-qubit quantum computing system, Cepheus™-1-108Q, now accessible to customers and partners via the Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services (QCS®) Platform and through Amazon Braket, the quantum computing service by AWS.

Cepheus-1-108Q is Rigetti's highest qubit-count system to date and the industry's largest modular quantum computing system, based on Rigetti's proprietary chiplet-based architecture. The system comprises twelve interconnected 9-qubit chiplets, tripling the number of qubits and chiplets from Rigetti's previous 36-qubit system, Cepheus-1-36Q.

The system is currently performing at a 99.1% median two-qubit gate fidelity with a gate speed of ~60 ns and a 99.9% median single-gate fidelity. Rigetti is releasing Cepheus-1-108Q now in response to growing customer interest, and will continue to improve the system performance throughout 2026 as the Company advances on its roadmap.

"Cepheus-1-108Q is a milestone that validates our ambitious approach to scaling quantum computers," said Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO. "Our proprietary chiplet-based architecture is paving the way toward higher fidelity, higher qubit systems that will ultimately enable fault-tolerant quantum computing."

"We are proud of the progress we have made in delivering a system at this scale. The innovations we've developed while designing this system give us confidence in our vision and approach to building the next generation of quantum computers. We will continue to improve fidelity as we scale to higher qubit counts and deploy new systems as we reach important performance milestones while maintaining gate speeds that are roughly 1,000-10,000 times faster than other modalities such as trapped-ion and neutral-atom systems."

"The addition of Cepheus-1-108Q to Amazon Braket gives our global customers another choice as they research quantum computing applications in materials science, optimization, and quantum simulation. As the first gate-based device on Braket with over 100 qubits, Cepheus-1-108Q delivers improved fidelities that allow customers to push to wider and deeper circuits," said Eric Kessler, General Manager, Amazon Braket. "Rigetti was a launch partner for Amazon Braket, and we're excited to deepen that relationship with this launch. With Cepheus-1-108Q, we bring the third generation of Rigetti devices to our customers, following Aspen and Ankaa. We remain committed to providing researchers and enterprises around the world with access to the latest quantum hardware."
