Classiq
Classiq has revolutionized quantum software development with its groundbreaking platform that automatically synthesizes high-level functional models into optimized quantum circuits. Founded in 2020 by Nir Minerbi, Yehuda Naveh, and Amir Naveh, the company addresses one of quantum computing’s biggest challenges: translating complex algorithms into efficient quantum circuits. Classiq’s platform uses advanced synthesis algorithms to automatically generate, optimize, and analyze quantum circuits, dramatically reducing development time from months to days. The platform supports multiple quantum hardware backends and integrates with existing quantum development frameworks, enabling developers to focus on algorithm logic rather than low-level circuit optimization. In May 2025, Classiq raised $110 million in Series C funding, the largest ever for a quantum software company. In October 2025, Classiq was named to Fast Company’s annual Next Big Things in Tech list in the Computing, Chips and Foundational Technology category for transforming how organizations produce software for quantum computers, with Classiq technology being used by dozens of global enterprises and at over 400 universities. In October 2025, Comcast launched a quantum lab and began trials using quantum computing to improve broadband network management, partnering with D-Wave and Classiq to test applications such as traffic optimization and predictive issue resolution. Classiq has secured significant funding and partnerships with quantum hardware companies, cloud providers, and research institutions. Their technology has been adopted by organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies working on quantum applications in finance, chemistry, optimization, and machine learning. As quantum computers scale toward practical applications, Classiq’s software synthesis approach becomes increasingly critical for unlocking quantum advantage.
