Rigetti is a completely vertically integrated company, from design to manufacturing (Fab-1)[1] to cloud access (Rigetti's own QCS [2] as well as AWS Bracket[3]). They have their own Fab which is extremely advantageous and I cloud be wrong but neither Google, IBM or anyone has that capability in-house. I guess, it is not fair to draw comparisons to other semiconductor companies like Intel or TSMC since the scale is off by a factor of 10,000x, nonetheless, having your own Fab creates opportunities for process engineering that would otherwise be too slow. I think the holy grail of quantum computing is how best to architect, design and manufacture quantum chips with low noise, everything else is sort of secondary. Cloud access is a solved problem. Congrats to the team!
