Classiq is trying to make quantum programming look less like quantum programming

Classiq wants quantum programmers to describe the problem rather than hand-build every circuit, letting its software synthesize and optimize what runs underneath; after a $110 million Series C in 2025, it says total funding has topped $200 million

Quantum programming still requires developers to work close to the hardware. Classiq is building an abstraction layer that lets teams describe what a quantum algorithm should do, then automatically synthesizes and optimizes the circuit underneath for different quantum computers.

Founded in 2020 by Nir Minerbi, Amir Naveh and Yehuda Naveh, Classiq announced a $110 million Series C in May 2025, bringing total funding at that time to $173 million.

Its current company page says it has since raised more than $200 million. The company describes its goal as moving quantum software development away from circuit-by-circuit work toward a higher-level engineering approach.
