Why Rigetti Computing Stock Is Absolutely Soaring Today - 2025’s Quantum Leap?

Quantum computing just smashed through another barrier—and Rigetti Computing's stock is riding the wave.

BREAKING: QUANTUM MILESTONE HITS MAIN STREET

Rigetti's hardware breakthrough sent institutional investors scrambling. The company's quantum processors demonstrated unprecedented coherence times—finally crossing the commercial viability threshold that skeptics said was decades away.

WALL STREET'S LATEST LOVE AFFAIR

Hedge funds piled in so fast they practically caused a quantum entanglement in the trading algorithms. Volume tripled in the first hour alone as the stock ripped through resistance levels like they weren't even there.

THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE SURGE

It's not just tech—it's timing. With traditional computing hitting physical limits, quantum's promise of exponential power gains suddenly looks less like science fiction and more like next quarter's earnings catalyst. Even the usually cautious analysts upgraded price targets mid-session.

Of course, the same Wall Street crowd that dismissed quantum computing as 'vaporware' six months ago now can't shut up about its potential—typical finance flip-flopping when there's money to be made.

A quantum computing wave is coming

Rigetti announced a three-year $5.8 million contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory "to advance superconducting quantum networking." The deal is meant to investigate the transformative potential of quantum networking. Rigetti and Dutch research and product development company QphoX will work to find if quantum networks can scale up to larger and more powerful systems in a similar way to classical high-performance computing. The goal is to enable multiple quantum processors to collaboratively solve problems.

Rigetti quantum computing peeralso just announced a new deal yesterday. That company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the U.S. Department of Energy to promote the development and deployment of quantum technologies in space. IonQ stock is also on the rise today.

Investors are likely happy to be starting to see legitimacy and practicality for quantum computing. As an example, IonQ CEO Niccolo de Masi said of its new MoU, "we aim to demonstrate the power of quantum computing and networking to enable new applications for secure communications."

As more practical applications are discussed, investors want to get a foot in the door with quantum computing stocks. Those that do, though, should remain vigilant of the risks and likely volatility ahead.
