Israel unveils first domestic quantum computer

IAI has been investing substantial resources into making Israel a leading nation in the sphere of quantum computing and infrastructure. Its quantum computer lab will focus on design, simulation, integration, and the adaptation of practical applications for the newly unveiled quantum computer.

The lab’s operations will also include collaborations with companies and research institutes globally. CEO Boaz Levy said IAI is “proud to lead Israel toward becoming a global quantum power.”

“Quantum technologies are set to fundamentally elevate human capabilities across a wide range of fields; in recent years, IAI has developed initiatives in robotics, autonomy, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, integrating them into our business lines, some in collaboration with startups and academia. “To win on future battlefields, Israel needs advanced technologies,” Levy said.

Dror Bin, head of the IIA, added: “The unveiling of Israel’s first quantum computer is an important milestone. This is not an isolated initiative, but part of a broad strategy to promote breakthrough technologies in a variety of fields.”

“All of these efforts are part of a nationwide, strategic plan for quantum computing, aimed at maintaining Israel’s technological leadership, preserving the competitive edge of Israel’s high-tech industry and bringing about sustained economic growth.”
