Rigetti Computing, ADIA Lab sign collaboration agreement

Rigetti Computing announced that it has signed a collaboration agreement with ADIA Lab, an independent Abu-Dhabi-based institute dedicated to basic and applied research in data and computational sciences. Together, Rigetti and ADIA Lab will collaborate to design, build, execute, and optimize a quantum computing solution intended to address the probability distribution classification problem. Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, CEO of Rigetti, said: “We believe that in order to reach narrow quantum advantage, we need to work on real-world, well-defined and hard computational problems. Working with ADIA Lab’s researchers, we will be able to leverage their expertise, datasets, and use cases towards building a quantum solution that we hope will outperform current classical solutions.”
