‘Quantum computing and Pakistan’s future’

This is apropos a letter to the Editor titled “Quantum computing and Pakistan’s future” carried by the newspaper in recent days.

History rewards nations that prepare before transformations arrive. The countries that embraced industrialization early became economic powers. Those that mastered information technology dominated the digital age. The same principle will likely apply to quantum computing.

The Quantum Age may not solve every mystery of the universe, nor answer every philosophical question regarding consciousness, existence, or the origins of reality. But it may provide humanity — and nations such as Pakistan — with the most powerful tool ever created for understanding complex systems and making better decisions. In a world increasingly defined by complexity, that capability alone could prove revolutionary.
