Classiq

Minerbi holds a master's degree in physics and is a graduate of Israel's elite Talpiot program, which selects and trains individuals to lead advanced R&D at the intersection of science, engineering, and national service. He spent his early career directing complex technology programs, then co-founded Classiq in 2020 on the insight that quantum software was stuck at the circuit level — analogous to programming in punch cards. Classiq's platform provides a high-level quantum programming language (QMOD) and synthesis engine that compiles functional descriptions into optimized quantum circuits, enabling engineers without quantum expertise to build quantum applications.

Naveh co-founded Classiq in 2020 alongside Nir Minerbi and Yehuda Naveh, sharing the conviction that quantum software needed a higher abstraction layer to scale. As Chief Product Officer, he shapes the product strategy and roadmap for Classiq's quantum software platform, which includes the QMOD language, synthesis engine, and IDE. His background spans advanced technology development and product leadership in Israel's technology sector.

Yehuda Naveh co-founded Classiq in 2020 and serves as CTO, overseeing the technical architecture of the company's quantum software synthesis engine. His background includes work in formal verification and advanced semiconductor design automation at IBM Research, where he developed expertise in synthesizing complex system behaviors from high-level specifications — directly informing Classiq's approach of automatically compiling quantum programs from functional-level descriptions down to optimized gate circuits.
