In a major technological breakthrough, Pakistan and China have agreed to establish a National Center for Quantum Computing as part of a new bilateral technology cooperation pact.
The initiative, announced after high-level discussions between the two countries, is aimed at advancing research in quantum science, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence—fields crucial to future digital economies.
Officials say the center will serve as a hub for innovation and training, equipping Pakistani scientists and engineers with cutting-edge expertise through collaboration with Chinese institutions. The partnership also includes plans for joint research projects, scholarships, and technology transfer programs.
Experts believe the move will position Pakistan among the emerging players in quantum technology, while further strengthening its strategic science and technology ties with China under the broader China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework.
