Authentication & Security 2

Rigetti Computing quantumProcessors API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (JWT) (JWTBearer). It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (JWT) (JWTBearerOptional).

  • JWTBearer — A JSON web token with sub or uid claim, as well as groups claim. If the token is absent, invalid or expired, the client will receive a 401 response. If the tok…
  • JWTBearerOptional — Same as JWTBearer, but the Authorization header is optionally parsed. Clients will receive a 401 response if an invalid or expired token is provided. Otherwise…

Paths & Operations 5

Across 5 paths, the API surfaces 5 operations — 5 GET. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Schemas 17

The contract defines 17 schemas that model the data the API accepts and returns. The most detailed are Characteristic (6 properties), QuantumProcessorAccessor (5 properties), Operation (5 properties), InstructionSetArchitecture (4 properties). Each schema is shown below with its type and property counts.

ValidationError
object
3 properties 2 required
Edge
object
A degree-two logical connection in the quantum processor's architecture. The existence of an edge in the ISA Architecture does not necessarily mean that a give…
1 property 1 required
Characteristic
object
A measured characteristic of an operation.
6 properties 3 required
Architecture
object
Represents the logical underlying architecture of a quantum processor. The architecture is defined in detail by the nodes and edges that constitute the quantum…
3 properties 3 required
QuantumProcessorAccessorType
string
Type of the accessor. Each accessor type is a different mechanism of accessing a QPU, each with their own benefits and/or drawbacks.
ListInstructionSetArchitectureResponse
object
2 properties 1 required
QuantumProcessorAccessor
object
An accessor for a controller deployment.
5 properties 3 required
Node
object
A logical node in the quantum processor's architecture. The existence of a node in the ISA Architecture does not necessarily mean that a given 1Q operation wil…
1 property 1 required
Operation
object
An operation, with its sites and site-independent characteristics.
5 properties 4 required
Parameter
object
A parameter to an operation.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Rigetti Computing quantumProcessors API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
