Rigetti Computing Surges 1.45% on $4.03 Billion Volume as Quantum Innovations Spark 20th Ranking in U.S. Market Activity

Rigetti Computing (RGTI) surged 1.45% on Sept. 25, 2025, with a trading volume of $4.03 billion, ranking 20th in U.S. market activity. The quantum computing pioneer saw renewed investor interest amid strategic advancements in hybrid quantum-classical computing infrastructure.

Recent developments highlighted include a partnership with AWS to optimize quantum cloud services, which analysts suggest could accelerate enterprise adoption of quantum solutions. Rigetti’s roadmap for error-corrected qubit scaling also drew attention, with technical progress in photonic interconnects reported to reduce latency in multi-qubit systems.

Market participants noted that regulatory tailwinds from the CHIPS and Science Act may indirectly benefit Rigetti’s supply chain initiatives. However, near-term execution risks remain tied to hardware yield rates and software interoperability challenges across third-party platforms.

To run this back-test precisely I need a few follow-up details: 1. Universe • Should we use all U.S. listed common stocks, only those on NYSE + NASDAQ, or another universe (e.g., S&P 1500 constituents)? 2. Entry / exit prices • Enter next-day open and exit same-day close? • Or enter today’s close and exit next-day close? 3. Weighting & capital allocation • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day (default), or volume-weighted / dollar-weighted? 4. Transaction-cost assumptions (commission + slippage per trade). 5. Any risk controls (stop-loss, max draw-down, etc.) or “raw” returns only? Let me know your preferences (or say “defaults are fine”) and I’ll generate the full data-gathering and back-test plan.
