Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:RGTI<\/a>) announced a new collaboration<\/a> with Montana State University (MSU) to advance quantum computing research and innovation.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s shares fell, weighed down by broader tech sector weakness, despite the positive announcement on its research initiative.<\/p>\n

The announcement coincided with the launch of MSU\u2019s Quantum Core Research and Education Center (QCORE), which now houses an on-site Rigetti quantum processor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

MSU officially unveiled QCORE, a research hub dedicated to quantum and photonics systems.<\/p>\n

The center now operates a nine-qubit Novera quantum processing unit, making MSU the first university to install and directly access Rigetti\u2019s hardware on campus.<\/p>\n

The new facility is expected to accelerate innovation and foster student training in an emerging industry.<\/p>\n

Rigetti CEO Dr. Subodh Kulkarni praised the milestone, noting that direct access to such systems strengthens education and helps create the next generation of quantum engineers.<\/p>\n

The company pledged to support the center\u2019s growth by contributing technical expertise, joint research opportunities, and workforce training programs aimed at expanding regional talent pipelines.<\/p>\n

QCORE will pursue projects focused on advanced quantum hardware, hybrid computing systems, and enabling technologies, in addition to education-driven initiatives.<\/p>\n

Jayne Morrow, QCORE\u2019s chief executive, emphasized that the initiative opens new doors for innovation benefiting both Montana and the global community.<\/p>\n

She highlighted the role of the Rigetti system in diversifying approaches to quantum computing research.<\/p>\n

Beyond MSU, Rigetti continues to advance U.S. quantum research through its work with the Air Force Research Laboratory under a federal contract. The laboratory is also testing a Novera QPU as part of its efforts to develop networking hardware.<\/p>\n

Manufactured at Rigetti\u2019s Fab-1 facility, the nine-qubit Novera unit is based on the Ankaa-class architecture, optimized for speed and connectivity.<\/p>\n
