Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech has announced EduQit, a modular quantum computing kit designed to enable hands-on training, experimental learning, and early-stage research using an on-site superconducting quantum computing system.

Hands-on Learning with EduQit

EduQit enables universities and research institutions to work directly with a physical quantum computing system. This provides hands-on experience with hardware, control systems, operations, and application development.

EduQit addresses a long-standing gap in quantum education: most academic programs rely on theory, simulators, or cloud-based access, which means students miss out on learning directly how quantum systems are built, operated, and maintained.

Features and Benefits

EduQit includes hardware, software, manuals and support from the Qilimanjaro team. This open design allows students and professors to understand the entire process of building and running a quantum computer, as well as to tailor the hardware to each user’s goals. Its modular architecture allows institutions to refine the system over time, reducing technological lock-in.

Optional cloud access to Qilimanjaro’s SpeQtrum platform allows institutions to complement on-site experimentation with remote workflows and perform benchmarks, while preserving direct interaction with the system. This additional access provides researchers with the opportunity to work with a multi-modal quantum hardware design that supports digital, analogue, and hybrid quantum computing paradigms.

EduQit contributes to long-term institutional and ecosystem development by supporting workforce development and enabling collaboration between academia, industry, and public stakeholders. This also aligns with national and global industry priorities related to advanced skills development, technological sovereignty, and sustainable capability building.
