Everything Chad Rigetti said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Rigetti: $10M in quantum chip infrastructure rivals $4B classical supercomputers
“There's effectively sort of Cambrian explosion happening because companies can, you know, invest ten million dollars in manufacturing infrastructure and build individual chips that are close to rivaling the capacity of an entire supercomputer. And that superco…”
Rigetti: Quantum devices will perform calculations classical supercomputers never can
“And what it means is what appear to be rudimentary quantum mechanical devices can encode a tremendous amount of information and can be used to compute things that are physically impossible to compute, not only with today's supercomputers, but with any foreseea…”
Rigetti: A new 'Silicon Valley' will emerge around the quantum ecosystem
“There's going to be another Silicon Valley where the quantum ecosystem is, it kind of comes up.”
Rigetti: Quantum computers capable of breaking RSA encryption are 20-30 years away
“We're probably 20 to 30 years away from having a machine that would really be able to run Shore's algorithm on Wall Street. On practically relevant problem sizes. At some point in the future, quantum computers will be able to crack RSA encryption.”
Rigetti: Algorithmic understanding will become quantum computing's primary bottleneck
“And over the next few years, the quantum hardware that we're building is getting better at such a fast rate that we're reaching this point where the bottleneck is going to be understanding the best algorithms to run on those machines to get the most value out …”
Rigetti: Despite incumbent efforts, Tesla is the only electric car company
“General Motors is building an electric car, and still, there's got to be a Tesla, and eventually electric cars and hybrids are going to kind of be a technology that is adopted across the industry, but there's one electric car company. There's one that matters.”
Chad Rigetti: Neuromorphic chips will soon be in mobile handsets
“We're talking about neuromorphic chips in individual handsets being available soon for machine learning.”
Rigetti: Adding a single qubit doubles a quantum computer's performance
“And with a quantum computer, if you have a hundred qubits and you add one more, you don't have a one percent performance increase, you double the performance. And that persists independent of the memory size. So every quantum bit you add to the system doubles,…”
Rigetti: Quantum systems require sophisticated classical computers wrapped around them
“And part of what that implies is that you need to build a very sophisticated Classical computer around the quantum computer to both leverage its resources and to offload anything from that quantum computer that can be offloaded so that the quantum computer is …”
Rigetti: Quantum software engineers will expand significantly within five years
“Over the next five years or so, I think the number of folks who identify as quantum engineers or quantum software engineers is going to go from approximately zero today to a meaningful number, and that the progress on that front will really accelerate.”
Rigetti: Codebreaking is one of the least interesting quantum applications
“It's a curse to some extent because that application, from my perspective, is one of the least interesting. It's not as interesting in relation to the other things that quantum computers are going to help us do.”
Rigetti: 10nm Semiconductor Fabs Cost Tens of Billions
“The cost of building the manufacturing infrastructure, the cost of putting up a fab, To build technology at the 10 nanometer, 20 nanometer scale is, is extremely large. We're talking tens of billions of dollars now to get to the latest generation of technology…”
Rigetti: Classical supercomputers cannot simulate the exact structure of 50-atom molecules
“A small molecule with something like 50 atoms is, is, is almost impossible to compute the exact molecular structure, or the exact electronic structure.”
