Rigetti Computing, Inc., a Delaware-incorporated company specializing in quantum computing, has filed a Form SD with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2023. The report, submitted under Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, pertains to the company's due diligence regarding the use of conflict minerals, specifically 3TG (tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold), in their products. Rigetti Computing, headquartered in Berkeley, California, operates globally with facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. The company manufactures quantum processors and offers quantum computing platforms through cloud services and direct sales. In 2023, Rigetti began selling its Novera QPU quantum computers, with three units sold to date. The company's products require dilution refrigerators, which contain components with 3TG, sourced from third-party suppliers. Rigetti conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) to determine if the 3TG in their products originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries. While most suppliers reported that their products did not contain 3TG from covered countries, some suppliers were unable to confirm the source. As a result, Rigetti could not ascertain the source and chain of custody of all 3TG used in their products. The company has communicated with suppliers about compliance with Rule 13p-1 and has adopted a policy supporting responsible mineral sourcing. The full disclosure is available on Rigetti's investor relations website.
