Israel Startups Offer Products and Solutions in Various Levels of the Quantum Computing Stack

(CTECH) Israel has a vibrant independent quantum computing community, Qubit, which was initiated locally and operates worldwide by volunteers. The community set its goal to share knowledge in the field of quantum computing while promoting connections between the academic community and the industry and has organized during 2019-2020 several successful meetups covering deep knowledge and business applications of the field.
Although Israeli startups would find it difficult to build a quantum computer on their own, they can offer products and solutions in various levels of the quantum computing stack, in which they have an advantage or some kind of expertise. In addition, these products/solutions can be developed in a relatively short time.

Israeli companies that have recently raised capital include:
Quantum Machines – The first VC-funded quantum computing company in Israel, established in 2018, has developed a hardware and software platform for the control and operation of quantum computers enabling running complex quantum computing experiments.
Lightsolver – Established in January 2020, Lightsolver develops a quantum-inspired optical processor based on interacting lasers that fits into a robust and efficient desktop-size device and focuses on the optimization of hard problems.
Qedma – Established in 2020 by leading professors in the field, Qedma aspires to become the operating system for quantum computers, by developing quantum computers based software solutions.
Classiq – Established in 2019, Classiq brings automation to quantum algorithm design, enabling the development of novel algorithms for quantum computers providing access to users that are not quantum scientists.
