The NSF awards $5 million to fund TangleLab, a hybrid quantum-classical supercomputing testbed at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, combining Rigetti's 9-qubit Novera system with HPE's classical HPC infrastructure to accelerate practical quantum computing research and enterprise applications.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing, and 2 sources have reported it between 27 Jul 2026 and 3 Aug 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Rigetti and HPE have just built a federal research testbed that lets you run hybrid quantum-classical workloads at scale—and PSC will vet and route customers through it. If you're building enterprise quantum applications, you now have a place to prove they work before selling them.
