Quantum operations are laser-based gates with low error rates, and have the ability to perform mid-circuit measurements.

They offer fast gate times, low-latency conditional logic, and fast program execution times. At the chip level, each superconducting qubit consists of a non-linear Josephson inductance in parallel with an ultra-low-loss capacitor to create a resonant structure in the 3-6GHz range. Qubits are coupled to a linear superconducting resonator for readout. The combination of the qubit, the linear readout resonator, and the associated wiring provides a general-purpose quantum circuit element capable of reliably encoding, manipulating, and reading out quantum information. Rigetti's processors use arrays of qubits coupled to one another with on-chip capacitances. Single and multi-qubit logic operations are implemented through the application of microwave or DC pulses.
