Classiq and QuEra Partner to Integrate Neutral-Atom Quantum Computers into Quantum Software Platform

Classiq, a leader in quantum software development, and QuEra Computing, a pioneer in neutral-atom quantum computing, have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at integrating QuEra’s advanced neutral-atom quantum computers into Classiq’s platform. This partnership is set to enable users to optimize a range of quantum and hybrid quantum/classical algorithms specifically for QuEra’s quantum systems, leveraging the unique technological capabilities offered by QuEra.

This innovative integration will allow Classiq users to harness the distinctive features of QuEra’s neutral-atom quantum computers, which include the ability to operate on multiple qubits simultaneously and advanced qubit shuttling techniques. Additionally, the integration provides access to Classiq’s extensive library of pre-written algorithmic blocks, enabling users to estimate the resources required for their algorithms. These features are expected to facilitate the creation of highly resource-efficient algorithms that can utilize a large number of qubits and, in the future, logical qubits as well.

“Our partnership with QuEra represents a significant step forward in the quantum computing landscape,” stated Nir Minerbi, CEO of Classiq. “By integrating QuEra’s neutral-atom technology into our platform, we are providing our users with unprecedented opportunities to enhance and optimize their quantum algorithms. This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering the most versatile and powerful quantum computing solutions available.”

Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer of QuEra, echoed this sentiment, expressing excitement about the collaboration. “Classiq’s platform is renowned for its ease of use and flexibility, and by integrating our technology, we can help users unlock new potential and achieve groundbreaking results in their quantum computing projects,” Boger said.

The integration is anticipated to accelerate the development and deployment of quantum applications across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, finance, and logistics. Customers who have purchased on-premises quantum computers will also be able to use the Classiq platform for the rapid development of quantum algorithms. This partnership highlights the ongoing commitment of both companies to drive innovation and make quantum computing more accessible and impactful.

Classiq is known for its comprehensive quantum software platform that includes an integrated development environment (IDE), compiler, and operating system, providing a single point of entry into quantum computing. This platform automates quantum programming, making it accessible to developers with backgrounds in AI, machine learning, and linear algebra, without requiring deep expertise in quantum physics.

QuEra Computing, based on pioneering research from Harvard University and MIT, operates the world’s largest publicly accessible quantum computer. Their focus on developing large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers aims to tackle problems that are currently intractable for classical computers. By partnering with Classiq, QuEra aims to extend the reach and impact of its quantum technology.

This collaboration between Classiq and QuEra marks a significant milestone in the quantum computing industry, offering enhanced capabilities and new opportunities for developers and researchers aiming to leverage the power of quantum computing.
