Rigetti (RGTI) Quantum Computing Stock Soars on Major Orders and Partnerships

Rigetti (RGTI) Quantum Computing Stock Soars on Major Orders and Partnerships

Rigetti’s Recent Developments Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) has been very active in recent weeks. On Sept. 30 the company confirmed it booked two Novera™ system orders (total ~$5.7M) for 9‑qubit machines Globenewswire. Rigetti did not disclose the buyers’ names, only saying one is “an Asian technology manufacturing company” and the other is a California AI/startup Globenewswire. These Novera units are “upgradeable” (customers can later add qubits) and will be delivered in H1 2026 Globenewswire. CEO Subodh Kulkarni noted that even though $5.7M is small relative to Rigetti’s multibillion-dollar market cap, this deal represents roughly 72% of the company’s annual revenue

What Is Helium-3 and Why Is It So Important? Infographic: Helium-3 is continually generated by fusion reactions in the Sun and carried by the solar wind. The Moon, lacking a magnetic field, has absorbed this isotope for billions of years, whereas Earth’s magnetic field shields us from most Helium-3 interlune.space. Helium-3 (He-3) is a lightweight, non-radioactive isotope of helium with two protons and one neutron (regular helium-4 has two neutrons).
