Nir Minerbi: Developing for tomorrow’s tech

Why the CEO of Classiq Technologies is betting on software to future-proof quantum computing

When Nir Minerbi co-founded Classiq Technologies in 2020, the vision for the company was as clear as it was ambitious: to build the Microsoft of quantum computing. Software, Minerbi believes, will be key to making quantum computing’s impending hardware breakthroughs accessible and commercially viable. 

But how do you create software for a technology whose future is so unpredictable? How do you build a platform that can succeed no matter who emerges as the winners and losers in the quantum computing hardware race? In this broad-ranging conversation, Minerbi talks about the lessons of developing at the bleeding edge of deep tech, the future impact of quantum on AI, and why everyone should care about its impending arrival.
