(Nasdaq: RGTI) (“Rigetti” or the “Company”), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, today announced that it was awarded an Innovate UK grant as part of the Feasibility Studies in Quantum Computing Applications competition.
- The consortium aims to use quantum computing to improve current classical machine learning techniques used by financial institutions to analyze complex data streams.
- Classical machine learning techniques used to assist and provide insights to these services have limitations as these data streams are, in general, complex.
- Combining quantum computing with classical machine learning methodology could offer more powerful resources for processing these data streams, given the potential for quantum computers to process some types of information more efficiently than with classical resources alone.
