I'll pass on it, I know several researchers that work there, they are all privately convinced nothing meaningful will happen for 10+years.

- mathgenius 5y agoThat sounds reasonable. On the other hand, if a quantum computer dropped out of the sky tomorrow, virtually no one would know what to do with it. So there is plenty of infrastructure, tooling and know-how that needs to be produced in that 10+ year timeframe. And there will likely be huge demand for all of these things as big co's scramble to get on the bandwagon.
- phyalow 5y agoI agree, although IMO its not clear Rigetti is poised to capture and realise the value of quantum tooling. In anycase its a company worth keeping an eye on, but I suspect they are closer to IBM Watson than Bell Laboratories.
- rambojazz 5y agoCan something meaningful come out of it in 10-20 years though? Or is it all vaporware? Could still be a good reason to buy, as long as what they're doing is serious.
