About The Company
Welcome to Classiq - Leading Quantum Computing Software
Inspired by traditional semiconductor design automation, Classiq combines deep quantum expertise with novel implementation of classical computing software automation.
This combination of deep technologies is designed to transform the quantum software stack, today and in the future. With an IDE, SDK, Compiler and OS for quantum computing, Classiq is positioned at the intersection of quantum physics and computer science. Classiq’s transformative offering is being woven into the fabric of the quantum computing ecosystem:
QUANTUM DEVELOPERS:
As quantum computers get more powerful gate-level manual coding becomes impractical, and at times impossible. Classiq’s unique technology changes that. Classiq’s high-level quantum development environment offers functional libraries and deploys advanced heuristics and algorithms to synthesize quantum circuits automatically. Experts and beginners alike are now able to implement advanced scalable quantum circuits that are automatically optimized for a specific quantum machine, as well as easy benchmarking. Execution on quantum machines and simulators is built-in.
QUANTUM COMPUTER PROVIDERS:
Classiq’s software can be deployed as a dedicated front-end operating system offering customers best-in-class features maximizing customer insights and productivity.
QUANTUM CLOUDS:
Classiq’s hardware agnostic development software enables programs in all leading quantum programming languages providing broad access to and driving adoption of cloud platforms.
HPC & ADVANCED COMPUTATION:
Classiq’s scalable automation and classical computing underpinning make it a natural partner for today’s supercomputing providers seeking to integrate seamlessly with quantum computing. Classiq is collaborating with the world’s leading supercomputing providers to build seamless architectures to combine the best of both classical and quantum computing.
