Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to Regetti Computing third quarter 2022 business update conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the call over to a representative from investor relations for a brief introduction. Please go ahead.

Thank you, operator, and good evening, everyone. Today, Rigetti will provide an update regarding its business and technology progress during the third quarter 2022, in addition to recent CEO transition announcements. We will not be discussing the financial results for the third quarter of 2022, as financial statements for the third quarter are not yet available, and Rigetti has filed an extension notice for its third quarter 10Q with the SEC. With me is Dr. Elisa Fitzgerald. member of Rigetti's Board of Directors and Audit Committee, and chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Rick Danis, interim president and CEO and general counsel. Brian Cerita, CFO, and David Rivas, SVP of Systems and Services. Before I turn the call over to Elisa, I'd like to point out that this call and Rigetti Business Update press release contain forward-looking statements concerning current expectations, objectives, and underlying assumptions, including statements with respect to Regetti's technology and technology roadmap, milestones, business plans, strategy and prospects, collaborations and partnerships, CEO transition, and expectations with respect to the company's financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, among others. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described. Please refer to Regetti's Business Update press release issued today for factors that could cause those results to differ materially. And now I'll turn it over to Elisa.
