Rigetti Computing, a leading quantum computing start-up, announced it has raised $64 million in Series A and B funding.

[...] The latest round brings the total amount of venture funding raised by Rigetti to $69.2 million.

"Quantum computing will enable people to tackle a whole new set of problems that were previously unsolvable," said Chad Rigetti, founder and chief executive officer of Rigetti Computing. "This is the next generation of advanced computing technology. The potential to make a positive impact on humanity is enormous."

"We will use the funding to expand our business and engineering teams and continue to invest in infrastructure to manufacture and deploy our quantum integrated circuits," Rigetti added.

    As long as we have turd humans + technology and a lack of natural selection of those projects that are fit for reality. Giant turd software will just multiply.

    One hope is right now that CPUs have reached a frequency limit at circa 4 GHz and perhaps a TDP at ~150 W. Meaning that those that can make the most of that will have one up over the competition.
