HPE and Rigetti Computing partner to deploy a hybrid quantum‑classical computer at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's TangleLab testbed

Type: Partnership · Technology: Data Center · Country: United States · Announced: 2026-07-28

Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Rigetti Computing announced a partnership to jointly deploy a hybrid quantum‑classical computer at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's new TangleLab testbed. The system will combine Rigetti's 9‑qubit Novera quantum processor with HPE's ProLiant DL384 Gen12 and DL385 Gen11 HPC servers, HPE Cray Storage Systems C500, and HPE networking equipment. Construction of the TangleLab facility is slated to begin on September 1, 2026, with the testbed expected to become fully operational in 2027. The $5 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation underpins the project, highlighting federal support for advanced quantum‑HPC research. This deployment positions the United States at the forefront of hybrid computing, offering researchers a platform to explore quantum‑classical workflows at scale.
