英特尔收购量子软件公司Classiq：组建全栈量子计算平台，预计2027年上半年交割
英特尔（Intel）10月26日宣布，已达成最终协议收购量子计算软件公司 Classiq。Classiq 总部位于以色列 Tel Aviv，其量子算法自动合成平台与英特尔的硅自旋量子比特制造能力及现有软件相结合，将组成一套易用的全栈量子计算平台。交易金额未披露。
Classiq 的平台对底层量子比特形态与硬件保持中立，提供高层抽象，让开发者、企业与研究者无需深厚的量子电路设计专长，也能构建可扩展的量子应用。英特尔表示，合并后公司将成为全栈量子解决方案提供商，并把量子处理单元（QPU）加入其已涵盖 CPU、GPU 与 ASIC 的计算平台组合；交割后英特尔将继续支持 Classiq 现有的多平台集成，维持其硬件中立的量子软件生态。
英特尔首席执行官 Lip-Bu Tan 表示，欢迎 Nir Minerbi、Yehuda Naveh、Amir Naveh 与整个 Classiq 团队加入英特尔；十多年来英特尔运用半导体创新、先进制造与系统工程能力，在可扩展的硅自旋量子比特技术上取得显著进展，与 Classiq 合并使英特尔的量子计算部门转型为全栈量子计算业务。Classiq 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Nir Minerbi 表示，两家公司联手有助于释放量子计算的益处、加速其普及。
英特尔自2015年起投入量子计算研发，是目前唯一一家能以传统硅基半导体制造设备与工艺规模化生产量子比特芯片与复杂低温控制电子的公司。此次交易尚需监管批准与惯常交割条件，预计2027年上半年完成；交割之前，两家公司继续作为独立公司运营。
Intel to Acquire Quantum Software Firm Classiq to Build a Full-Stack Quantum Platform, Closing Expected in First Half of 2027
Intel Corporation on October 26 announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Classiq, a leading provider of quantum computing software based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Combining Classiq's synthesis platform with Intel's spin-qubit manufacturing and existing software would create a user-friendly full-stack quantum computing platform. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Classiq's platform is agnostic to the underlying qubit modality and hardware, providing a high-level abstraction that lets developers, researchers and enterprises build scalable quantum applications without deep expertise in quantum circuit design. Intel said the combination would make it a full-stack quantum solutions provider and add Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) to a compute portfolio spanning CPUs, GPUs and ASICs; after closing, Intel intends to keep supporting Classiq's existing multi-platform integrations and its hardware-agnostic software ecosystem.
'I am delighted to have Nir, Yehuda, Amir and the entire Classiq team join Intel,' said Lip-Bu Tan, chief executive officer of Intel, noting that Intel has applied its semiconductor innovation, advanced manufacturing and systems engineering to scalable silicon spin-qubit technology for more than a decade, and that joining forces with Classiq transforms Intel's Quantum Computing Group into a full-stack quantum computing business. Nir Minerbi, co-founder and chief executive officer of Classiq, said the two companies together can help unlock the benefits of quantum computing and accelerate its adoption.
Intel has invested in quantum computing since 2015 and says 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 semiconductor manufacturing. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of 2027; until closing, the two companies will continue to operate separately.
