Illithid Powers are special abilities tied to the Mind Flayer tadpole that the player character and Origin Companions are infected with. At some point when taking a Long Rest, the Dream Visitor will tell you how to unlock this skill tree.
After this event, finding and consuming Mind Flayer Parasite Specimens, such as from the corpses of other infected, will allow you to unlock a new power. Your companions will initially refuse to use Illithid Powers, but can be convinced to use them through Persuasion Checks.

Notes
In Early Access, the progression of your powers worked differently. Instead, your tadpole grew in power as you used Illithid Persuasion options in dialogue. Once you'd used Illithid Persuasion three times, you got a power unique to your class. Some of these abilities were reworked into the current Illithid Powers. A full list of Early Access powers can be seen below:
