TII Launches Cloud Access to 25-Qubit Quantum Processing Units, Developed In-House

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) announced February 23,2026, the launch of a cloud service granting access to its in-house developed Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). This marks a significant step for the Abu Dhabi-based applied research pillar of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), moving it from foundational research to delivering tangible quantum systems. TII’s Quantum Computing Hardware Lab, established just four years ago, now offers cloud access to QPUs ranging from 5 to 25 qubits, with chips demonstrating coherence times up to ten times longer than earlier prototypes. “Launching a cloud-accessible QPU service only four years after establishing the lab demonstrates both the pace and ambition of our quantum program,” said Leandro Aolita, Chief Researcher of TII’s Quantum Research Centre. This initiative aims to accelerate experimentation and hybrid quantum-classical development using locally developed infrastructure.

The launch leverages a coordinated effort between the Hardware Lab and TII’s Quantum Middleware team, utilizing the open-source software framework, Qibo, for job submission and execution. TII intends to expand the service with additional capabilities and broader partner access as the quantum ecosystem evolves, furthering applied quantum research on locally developed systems.

Qibo Framework Enables Cloud-Based Quantum Workflow Execution

The current landscape of quantum computing is shifting, moving beyond isolated laboratory experiments toward accessible, cloud-based platforms. This cloud service is powered by Qibo, TII’s open-source quantum software framework, which allows users to construct quantum circuits and execute them across both simulators and the physical QPUs via a unified interface. Initially available to partners, the service intends to broaden access as the quantum ecosystem evolves, fostering experimentation and hybrid quantum-classical development on locally built infrastructure.
