TEL AVIV, Israel & LOS ANGELES: #Quantum--Classiq, a leading quantum computing software company, and Florence Quantum Labs today announced their collaboration on research to develop quantum-enhanced precision agriculture. This announcement comes as 2025 kicks off the International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies, underscoring the global significance of quantum advancements in addressing critical challenges.

This collaborative research will use the Classiq platform to develop quantum computing solutions in precision agriculture for a wide range of predictive and analytical applications. It will leverage Florence Quantum Lab-designed quantum-enhanced biosensors and include deployment of scalable AI-quantum hybrid algorithms for ecosystem modeling. The partnership focuses on significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of soil health monitoring and nutrient management by integrating Classiq's quantum computing platform with Florence Quantum Labs' advanced agricultural technologies.

Classiq offers a leading quantum development platform with unique technology enabling high-level abstraction that simplifies and accelerates development of efficient complex quantum programs and applications. The Classiq platform’s built-in functions, GitHub repository and seamless execution on a broad range of quantum computing hardware will be key components in the research to develop transformative agricultural solutions.

“Our work together on the application of quantum computing to precision agriculture is an inspiring use case,” said Classiq CEO Nir Minerbi. “Classiq looks forward to enabling the development of sophisticated, optimized quantum programs to help tackle food security challenges.”

“This partnership represents a pivotal step toward harnessing quantum computing to address global food security challenges,” said Florence Quantum Labs CEO Dr. Pratima Vasistha. “By combining Classiq’s innovative platform with our expertise in precision agriculture, we are set to revolutionize sustainable farming practices.”

Florence Quantum Labs is pioneering the integration of quantum technologies to address critical challenges in sustainable farming and global food security. Through a rigorous multidisciplinary approach, the laboratory has established itself as a leader in the development of advanced quantum-enhanced biosensors, which provide unparalleled accuracy in real-time soil health diagnostics. These biosensors are coupled with AI-quantum hybrid algorithms, designed to optimize nutrient delivery systems and reduce inefficiencies in agricultural processes.

The lab’s work extends to the creation of comprehensive ecosystem models that leverage quantum computational capabilities to analyze complex soil microbiome interactions and nutrient pathways. By tailoring these solutions to diverse agro-climatic zones, Florence Quantum Labs ensures that their innovations are scalable and adaptable to global agricultural needs. Their research agenda also includes advancing bioinformatics methodologies through quantum-based algorithms, enabling deeper insights into soil ecosystems and driving the development of precision agri-bio solutions.

In alignment with climate-smart agricultural practices, Florence Quantum Labs’ commitment to sustainable innovation addresses the twin goals of mitigating climate change impacts and enhancing the resilience of agricultural systems. Their work contributes to reducing environmental footprints while ensuring the productivity required to meet the demands of a growing global population.
