Recent chatter on X about Rigetti Computing (RGTI) has been fueled by the company's announcement of a $5.8 million contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance quantum networking technology. Many users are expressing enthusiasm, pointing to this deal as a potential driver for future growth in the quantum computing sector. The stock's recent climb to new highs has further amplified the buzz, with some seeing it as a breakout moment.
