Rigetti Computing is one of three massive sub-$20 plays like IonQ, with three catalysts. Its Lyra processor targets 336 qubits and 99.7% two-qubit gate fidelity, a realistic path to demonstrable quantum advantage, possibly by late 2026. It holds a C-DAC India deal and is pursuing a UK 1,000+ qubit deployment; a DoD or NATO contract would validate it as a national-security asset. Deeper integration with Nvidia, Google or Microsoft would turn grant revenue into recurring subscriptions. x.comÂ
