Abu Dhabi, UAE – March 02, 2026: The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research arm of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), today announced the launch of a cloud API enabling external users to access quantum-inspired algorithms developed by the Quantum Research Center (QRC) at TII.
Quantum-inspired algorithms are classical computing techniques derived from methods originally developed for quantum algorithms or for simulating quantum systems. As quantum physics routinely addresses high-dimensional computational challenges, these approaches are increasingly explored for industry applications such as complex optimizations, simulation and inference problems. The Quantum Algorithms division within QRC-TII is at the forefront of such developments, developing quantum inspired solutions to computational fluid dynamics, combinatorial optimizations, and protein design, among others. With this release, TII is making these capabilities seamlessly accessible, providing a testbed platform for partners and clients to test, evaluate, and build joint proof-of-concept applications.
Access to the cloud platform is provided through two interfaces:
- Web interface: Users can upload a problem specification file written in a domain-specific language through the web platform hosted at < https://q-inspired.tii.ae >.
- Python client: Users can programmatically construct problem specifications and submit them directly to the cloud through a Python script or an IPython notebook.
Dr. Leandro Aolita, Chief Researcher of TII’s Quantum Research Centre, said: "Quantum physics has long driven the development of powerful computational techniques. With this platform, we are translating those advances into accessible, cloud-based tools that can be used today to tackle large-scale, complex computational problems in various industries."
The first available algorithm on the experimental platform is a quantum annealing (QA) emulator built on tensor networks, belief propagation, and custom compilation techniques. This implementation enables large-scale classical simulations of adiabatic QA circuits while supporting the solution of practical combinatorial optimization problems.
The launch expands TII’s quantum ecosystem by providing practical access to quantum-derived computational methods through a scalable cloud interface, supporting applied research and early-stage industry experimentation.
