Confirmed facts
Each fact is a sentence from a source that at least two independent outlets report.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of 2027.
The combination of Classiq's synthesis platform with Intel's spin-qubit manufacturing and existing software would create a user-friendly full-stack quantum computing platform, enabling the promising technology to mature into a mainstream computing business.
Since 2015, Intel has been investing in the development of quantum computing, and today it is the only company capable of producing qubit chips and complex cryogenic control electronics at-scale, using equipment and processes common to conventional silicon-based semiconductor manufacturing.
Nir Minerbi, co-founder and chief executive officer, Classiq"Since our founding, Classiq has focused on making quantum computing practical and accessible by enabling developers, researchers and enterprises to create scalable quantum applications without requiring deep expertise in quantum circuit de
Until closing, Intel and Classiq will continue to operate as separate, independent companies.
