This NSF-funded initiative establishes a critical national testbed for hybrid computing, focusing on how specialized quantum processors augment existing high-performance classical infrastructure rather than replacing them entirely. By partnering with Rigetti and HPE to create an open platform, the project directly addresses fundamental challenges in system integration, programming optimization, and workforce development for emerging scientific workloads.
TangleLab Pairs Quantum Processors With Existing Supercomputers

NSF’s $5 million TangleLab, led by Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, offers hands-on access to hybrid quantum-classical systems.
A $5 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation is funding the creation of TangleLab, a new national testbed for hybrid quantum-classical computing led by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. Rigetti Computing and Hewlett Packard Enterprise are partnering in the project, which will give researchers and students hands-on access to an integrated system designed to explore the future of scientific computing. “Carnegie Mellon has long been a leader in advances in computing, and through the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center we continue to…
