About
Quantum Elements is a Los Angeles-based quantum software startup that emerged from stealth in October 2025 with its AI-native Constellation platform for quantum development. The platform uses agentic AI, natural language prompts, and a proprietary simulation backend to build large-scale quantum applications, with a claimed 20X productivity improvement and 100X faster development. Constellation includes the largest noisy-qubit simulator available, which supports prototyping before any hardware purchase. The company was co-founded by CEO Izhar Medalsy, Prof. Daniel Lidar of USC, and Prof. Amir Yacoby of Harvard, and is funded by QDNL Participations and the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. Quantum Elements has partnerships with Amazon, Rigetti, USC, and UCLA, with a focus on applications in pharma, energy, and finance. Update 2026-04-21: Quantum Elements is modeling qubit and gate behavior using AI-native digital twins in collaboration with Rigetti Computing.
