84-Qubit Quantum Cloud Service

The partnership was announced at the Q2B Tokyo 2025 conference, highlighting international collaboration in quantum technology

Rigetti will provide access to an 84-qubit superconducting quantum processor, likely the Ankaa-3, with a median two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.5%

Norma’s Q Platform, a quantum software development environment, will integrate with Rigetti’s hardware to enable cloud-based quantum programming and execution

Q Platform offers a visual programming interface and supports both beginners and advanced users, promoting accessibility

Norma’s strategy focuses on middleware and platform integration, not direct hardware development, enabling interoperability with multiple quantum backends

The partnership aims to accelerate South Korea’s quantum ecosystem by providing local users with access to advanced quantum computing resources

Rigetti’s hardware is already integrated with global cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Braket, supporting broader accessibility

Norma has similar MOUs with other quantum companies, such as Maybell Quantum and IQM, reinforcing its middleware provider role

The collaboration supports South Korea’s national initiatives in quantum workforce development and research investment

Modular infrastructure and platform interoperability are emphasized, allowing users to access various quantum architectures through a unified environment
