Israeli Startup Classiq and Microsoft Launch Quantum Research and Education Program

This is a bigger deal than it looks like on paper.

Hey Everyone,

I’m a huge fan of Israeli Quantum software startup Classiq. I think in terms of PhD talent they are very loaded. Microsoft has a good eye for startups doing important things, Microsoft’s interest in Wayve (Deep learning for self-driving) and Classiq really exemplifies this.

While attention is elsewhere on Microsoft’s attempts to re-brand itself as an A.I. leader, with a little help from another startups, it’s doing interesting things with Quantum partnering with DARPA, among others.

So the PR here is quiet, but sometimes quiet is the best thing. Quantum computing has an incredible academic and global startup collaboration opportunity. On February 8th you may have missed a rather important announcement. Classiq and Microsoft launched a quantum research and education program that offers educational institutions access to Classiq’s state-of-the-art Quantum software platform coupled with Azure Quantum cloud access to diverse quantum hardware.

Classiq’s Global Academic Program

The future will need a lot more talent than currently exists in Quantum computing. India is going to be a driver of a lot of the talent as the likes of IBM have realized. Classiq, which provides a leading platform for designing, analyzing, and executing quantum circuits, selected Azure Quantum to be its launch partner for its global academic program.

I personally really like this initiative as it’s very aligned with the future:

BIG NEWS for #quantum researchers and academic institutions! #Classiq and #Microsoft’s @Azure launched a global program for professors, students, and researchers looking to level up in #QuantumComputing. More details: bit.ly/3I8VBqY #ClassiqForAcademia

I also have an incredible faith in Classiq as a company. This is PR I can actually believe in where a global workforce and new jobs created by Quantum technologies and computing is truly potentially going to be very impactful.
