KARACHI-Habib University hosted a four-day long Quantum Information Summer School


(QISS), where a public talk by Dr. Barry Sanders was held who stressed for developing a


national strategic research collaboration in Pakistan, at HU campus in Pakistans largest city


Karachi.


Dr. Barry sanders discussed Dr. Abdus Salams contributions to Physics as well as to science in


developing countries. He also talked about his interaction with Abdus Salam and his influence on


his work in quantum information science, especially Symmetries and conservation in the nature.


The public talk was part of larger four day QISS initiative aimed at providing an intensive


introduction to the field of Quantum Information.


Quantum technology is now on the verge of creating and exploiting the symmetries that not long


ago were only found in atoms and nuclei, and this technological prowess will present


applications to paradigm-shifting quantum computing. The field integrates ideas from physics,


computer science, engineering and philosophy with applications ranging from algorithms that


break secure communication protocols we use online every day to resolving paradoxes at the


cosmological scale related to black holes.


Speaker presented lectures on different quantum information topics in the HUs Soorty Hall.


Habib University received many applications for the program from all major universities


Pakistan. The participants appreciated the opportunity to learn about quantum information from


leading experts in the field.
