Classiq Quantum Software @ NJ AI Hub

Please join us on Thursday, October 29 at the NJ AI Hub to hear from Brian Nash of Classiq as we continue to explore all things quantum. Brian will give a short presentation describing Classiq and their Quantum Development Platform, followed by a fireside chat.

Quantum Software Development Platforms like Classiq's are essential tools for scaling the quantum application market. They play a similar role to classical platforms in that they abstract the quantum hardware, accelerate the development lifecycle and offer prepackaged modules to jump-start your application.

Quantum software and AI are closely linked. The Classiq platform uses AI in multiple ways: to optimize quantum code, as part of hybrid quantum/AI algorithms, by speeding up certain ML algorithms, and as an interface to their stack via an LLM interface. Their Quantum Center Program focuses on partnering with local quantum ecosystems.

Classiq was founded in 2020 and has raised $200M.

Brian’s talk:

Brian will cover the emergence of quantum software and its place in hybrid quantum / HPC architecture. His lightning talk will cover the company, its technology and use cases. During the fireside chat we will explore opportunities and challenges of the quantum market, the ability of quantum hardware to deliver practical quantum applications, and the state of customer adoption. We look forward to answering your questions.
