On February 23, 2026, the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) announced the launch of a cloud service providing external access to Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) developed by TII’s Quantum Computing Hardware Lab. According to the announcement, the service was initially available to TII partners, enabling them to run quantum workloads on physical quantum hardware in the cloud.
TII’s Quantum Computing Hardware Lab, established four years prior, operates multiple QPU systems ranging from 5 to 25 qubits. The in-house fabricated superconducting chips demonstrate quantum coherence times up to ten times longer than first-generation prototypes, according to TII. The platform uses Qibo, TII’s open-source quantum software framework, as the software layer for job submission and execution.
Dr. Leandro Aolita, Chief Researcher of TII’s Quantum Research Center, said the launch demonstrated the pace of the program. Previously, the infrastructure had been used only internally by TII’s Quantum Algorithms team. With the new service, TII extended cloud-based access to partner organizations for applied research and hybrid quantum-classical experimentation.
