This $5 million NSF-funded initiative establishes TangleLab, a hybrid testbed that integrates Rigetti's Novera QPU with HPE supercomputing infrastructure to benchmark practical workflows combining quantum and classical resources. By focusing on the orchestration of heterogeneous systems rather than isolated hardware development, this project directly addresses critical challenges in scaling near-term quantum applications for scientific research.
Rigetti Computing & PSC to Build $5M Quantum-Classical Supercomputer Testbed

PSC will build a new hybrid quantum-classical supercomputer, thanks to a $5-million grant from the National Science Foundation. PSC, HPE, Rigetti Computing, and the University of Pittsburgh will partner to construct the TangleLab supercomputing testbed.
A $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation will fund construction of the TangleLab system at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, integrating a Rigetti Novera quantum processing unit with classical supercomputing resources.
