Quantum Project Manager

Classiq Technologies is a quantum software company based in Tel Aviv.

We provide a full-stack platform (IDE, high-level language, compiler, and OS) for designing, compiling, and running quantum algorithms. Backed by 110 patents, our technology automates quantum programming and turns functional intent into executable quantum circuits. Our core compiler technology scales quantum algorithms from concept to implementation, making quantum software development faster and more practical.
