A groundbreaking China-Pakistan quantum computing alliance

CETC China Electronics Technology Group Corp.

The China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and Pakistan have formed a collaboration to dramatically increase Pakistan's quantum technology capabilities, ushering in a new era of technological cooperation. Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal said this collaboration will construct Pakistan's National Centre for Quantum Computing, a major step towards technical growth.

Minister Iqbal said the engagement with China “will be a game changer for Pakistan,” emphasising its strategic importance. He said the contract opens a “new chapter in Pakistan-China scientific relations,” building on the CPEC.

Quantum Partnership Formalisation

The signing of an MOU this week boosted technological cooperation. Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives, met with a high-level CETC team to discuss creative technology partnerships.

CETC and the Emerging Technologies Lab, a Pakistani Ministry of Planning (or PSDP-funded) project, made the deal. The MOU prioritises quantum technology research, development, and innovation. This cooperation aims to foster knowledge sharing, expert exchange, cooperative projects, and necessary skill development.

Create the National Quantum Computing Centre The MOU aims to establish the National Centre for Quantum Computing. China will assist Pakistan in this critical scientific advance.

The National Centre for Quantum Computing, established by CETC, is regarded to be the first step towards Pakistan's quantum capabilities. A facility like this could advance processing-intensive fields. They specifically suggest advancements in complex modelling and materials research.

Vision: Starting the “Quantum Valley Project”

Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal also announced the grandiose "Quantum Valley Project." This project will aim to rival Silicon Valley in Pakistan.

The project would focus on innovation, technology, and knowledge-based development, according to Minister Iqbal. It hopes to make Pakistan a quantum technology hub by hosting these efforts. The Quantum Valley Project is crucial to the government's strategy to modernise the economy and stimulate technical growth.

Minister Iqbal said the Quantum Valley Project will become Pakistan's Silicon Valley, a hub for technology innovation and knowledge-based growth.

Technological Cooperation as CPEC Phase-II Pillar

The new quantum collaboration is a major aspect of CPEC. Ahsan Iqbal stressed that technology cooperation is essential to CPEC Phase-II.

The present phase of CPEC is strategic, unlike previous large-scale energy and infrastructure projects. However, CPEC Phase-II prioritises digital transformation, industrial modernisation, and HRD programs.

Minister Iqbal stressed that modern economies need AI and quantum computing. He emphasised that Pakistan must invest in these critical areas to prosper. Pakistan can benefit from China's modern technology expertise.

Strategy for Innovation and Independence China and Pakistan pledged to strengthen bilateral ties and form long-term alliances that promote innovation and growth.

This treaty has far-reaching effects beyond science. Pakistan is making progress in the fast-growing Pakistan-China innovation corridor towards technological independence and creativity with this relationship. Pakistan wants to lead these revolutionary fields by emphasising artificial intelligence and quantum technology. This innovative approach is expected to boost national security and economic growth.

Nueva entrada en el blog: «TOC, TOC...» #autobomboclapping

Ayer en tiro con arco (ahora practico tiro con arco, ¿qué pasa?), alguien comentó que conocía a una persona con trastorno obsesivo compulsivo (TOC), porque «no puede tener al lado un folio torcido. Y el ratón siempre lo coloca de la misma forma antes de ponerse a trabajar». Diagnostic cartería over 9000. Bromas a parte, creo que el TOC, junto a la adicción, son dos de los trastornos…

The US and China are in a Quantum Arms Race that will Transform Future Warfare

Radar that can spot stealth aircraft and other quantum innovations could give their militaries a strategic edge

In the 1970s, at the height of the Cold War, American military planners began to worry about the threat to US warplanes posed by new, radar-guided missile defenses in the USSR and other nations. In response, engineers at places like US defense giant Lockheed Martin’s famous “Skunk…
