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.

QuantumProcessor
object
An object representing a quantum processor.
1 property 1 required
Family
string
Family identifier. Value 'None' implies the architecture has no specific layout topology. Value 'Full' implies that each node is connected to every other (a fu…
OperationSite
object
A site for an operation, with its site-dependent characteristics.
2 properties 2 required
Operation
object
An operation, with its sites and site-independent characteristics.
5 properties 4 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.
ValidationError
object
3 properties 2 required
Parameter
object
A parameter to an operation.
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
InstructionSetArchitecture
object
The native instruction set architecture of a quantum processor, annotated with characteristics. The operations described by the instructions field are named by…
4 properties 4 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…

ListQuantumProcessorAccessorsResponse
object
2 properties 1 required
QuantumProcessorAccessor
object
An accessor for a controller deployment.
