Insider Brief

Israeli quantum computing companies Quantum Art and Classiq are reportedly in advanced talks to go public on Wall Street through SPAC mergers that could value each company between $2 billion and $5 billion.

Quantum Art is developing trapped-ion quantum hardware, while Classiq builds quantum software and has partnerships and customers that include Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, BMW, Rolls-Royce and Citi.
