Rigetti Computing

Rigetti Computing is a full-stack quantum computing company that builds superconducting quantum processors and delivers access to them through Quantum Cloud Services (QCS). Developers program Rigetti quantum processing units (QPUs) with the Quil quantum instruction language via the open-source pyQuil SDK, compile with quilc, and simulate locally with the Quantum Virtual Machine (QVM). The QCS HTTP API (api.qcs.rigetti.com) exposes REST-style operations for quantum processors, instruction set architectures, engagements, endpoints, reservations, groups, billing, and account management, secured with OAuth2 (Okta) JWT bearer tokens. This profile was seeded as a VC-portfolio lead and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline from Rigetti's public QCS OpenAPI, SDKs, and developer documentation.

Rigetti Computing publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including account API, authentication API, clientApplications API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Company, Quantum Computing, Quantum Cloud, Developer Tools, and SDKs.

Rigetti Computing’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 19 more developer resources.
