Summary

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi has launched Manarat, a custom-developed control electronics platform for quantum computing. Manarat can control 10 qubits with high accuracy and synchronizes multiple electronic boards with accuracy exceeding 100 picoseconds. TII claims Manarat is five times more cost-efficient than commercial alternatives. Why it matters: This development marks a step toward large-scale quantum computing in the UAE and establishes sovereign capabilities in quantum technologies.

TII Launches Cloud Service Providing Access to In- House Quantum Processing Units

TII ·

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi has launched a cloud service providing access to its in-house Quantum Processing Units (QPUs), which range from 5 to 25 qubits. Initially available to TII partners, the service allows users to run quantum workloads on TII’s quantum hardware via the cloud, using the open-source Qibo framework as the software layer. These QPUs feature in-house fabricated chips and demonstrate quantum coherence times up to ten times longer than TII's first-generation prototypes. Why it matters: This launch provides a platform for experimentation and development of hybrid quantum-classical workflows on locally developed infrastructure, accelerating quantum research in the region.
