China is making significant and revolutionary strides in quantum computing. In 2020, Chinese scientists introduced the Jiuzhang, a quantum computer that completed a calculation in just 200 seconds, compared to an anticipated 2.5 billion years for a traditional supercomputer. Institutions such as the Russian Quantum Center (RQC) demonstrate Russia’s dedication to quantum technologies. One of the major accomplishments of the RQC is the demonstration of quantum key distribution (QKD) for secure communication. Russia’s standing in the quantum world has been further strengthened by partnerships with China.India has made calculated investments aimed at capitalising on the revolutionary potential of quantum technologies after realising their potential. Despite being a latecomer, South Africa is making steady progress in the field of quantum research. Quantum communication, encryption, and information processing are the main areas of study for the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Quantum Research Group. Do you think that BRICS willsoon lead the world in technologies ?
