00:00Today, we want to do something a little different.
00:03We want to put the traditional headlines of geopolitics aside, the trade wars, the summit
00:09handshakes and the leaders' meetings.
00:11Instead, we are going to look at a side of the BRICS development that is often hidden
00:17behind laboratory doors, yet it is arguably more vital to the future of humanity than
00:23any treaty.
00:24It is a complex topic, but its relevance is growing every single day.
00:29We are talking about the quantum revolution.
00:32We will try to make this as simple as we can, but the implications are nothing but.
00:37Let's start with a specific moment.
00:39The recent BRICS Quantum Technology Summit held in Moscow.
00:43While the mainstream media was focused on oil prices, the scientists gathered in that room
00:49were discussing something much more powerful – the foundation of a new sovereign digital
00:55civilization.
00:56The Moscow summit marked more than routine diplomacy.
01:00It transformed the Global South's quantum backbone from concept into a plan.
01:05For the first time, we saw a unified commitment to quantum as a service.
01:09What does that mean?
01:11It means the larger powers – Russia, China and India are opening their $100 million quantum
01:17laboratories to the rest of the bloc.
01:19It's a model of shared intelligence that we simply haven't seen in the West.
01:24But before we can understand why this summit was a turning point, we have to answer the
01:29most basic question.
01:31What is this technology and why is every major power suddenly obsessed with it?
01:37To understand quantum, you have to forget everything you knew about how computers work.
01:42A normal computer, whether it is one in your pocket or a massive server, thinks in bits.
01:49A bit is like a light switch – it's either on or off, zero or one.
01:54Every video you watch and every email you send is just a trillion switches flipping zero or
01:59one.
02:00A quantum computer uses quibits.
02:03Imagine a coin spinning on the table.
02:06While it is spinning, it isn't heads or tails – it's a blur of both at the same time.
02:11This is called superposition.
02:13Why is this important for a nation?
02:16Because a normal computer has to solve problems one step at a time, like a person walking through
02:20a maze and hitting every dead end until they find the exit.
02:25A quantum computer?
02:26It is like being able to work down every path of the maze simultaneously.
02:31For a government, this is the ultimate tool.
02:35It can model new medicines in days that would normally take decades.
02:39It can optimize a country's entire power grid in seconds.
02:42And most importantly, it can crack the unbreakable codes that protect every bank account and military
02:48secret on the planet.
02:49You might wonder why we are calling this a sovereignty issue if it's just about faster computers.
02:55The reality is that our modern world is built on a very fragile foundation of mathematics.
03:01We protect our data using encryption – essentially a very hard math problem that a normal computer
03:07would take a billion years to solve.
03:09But a quantum computer doesn't care how hard the math is.
03:14It uses the laws of physics to bypass the problem entirely.
03:17This creates what scientists call the quantum threat.
03:21If one side of the world gets a working quantum computer before the other, they effectively hold the
03:27master key to the entire digital world.
03:30survival drives the BRICS countries more than scientific curiosity alone.
03:35They have realized that if they rely on Western-controlled quantum hardware or software, they're essentially
03:43handing over their digital front door keys to a foreign power.
03:48At the Moscow summit, it became clear that the BRICS core is taking three very different
03:53but complementary paths to solve this problem.
03:57Outpacing early tests, China now leads in quantum hardware.
04:02Not merely theoretical, there, Zumchongzhi 3.0 operates on superconducting tech, delivering speed
04:10beyond top US systems by a factor of one quadrillion.
04:14They're building the physical quantum cloud that will allow scientists in Brazil, South Africa
04:20to log in and use massive processing power from thousands of miles away.
04:25Russia, meanwhile, is pioneering what they call QUIDIS.
04:29While the West is trying to build bigger and bigger machines with more switches, Russian
04:35scientists are making the switches themselves more complex.
04:39By using multi-level particles, they can pack the same amount of power into a much smaller,
04:45more stable machine.
04:53India is focusing on the quantum city model, not merely assembling hardware.
04:59The effort grows around full environments where innovation thrives.
05:03By investing 730 million US dollars into their national quantum mission, they're turning cities like Bengaluru into global
05:13hubs for quantum startups.
05:16They want to be the software layer of this new world.
05:20One of the most fascinating revelations from the Moscow summit was the role of Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear corporation.
05:29In the West, we think of quantum as a Silicon Valley thing, an app or a website, but in the
05:37BRICS world, quantum is heavy industry.
05:41Rosatom is using quantum computing to design the next generation of nuclear reactors.
05:45These generation 4 reactors are designed to be closed loop, meaning they produce almost zero waste.
05:54But the physics inside those reactors is so complex that a normal computer can't model it accurately.
06:01By fusing the atom and the quibit, BRICS nations are securing their energy future.
06:08Countries like Egypt, Ethiopia, and Iran are now looking to this quantum nuclear nexus as a way to leapfrog
06:15traditional energy limitations.
06:17Not merely installing reactors, these states adopt networks fine-tuned by quantum logic.
06:25Years beyond today's norm, such systems operate on precision once thought unreachable.
06:32Progress unfolds quietly, yet its reach stretches far into tomorrow.
06:38Even though we said we would put job politics aside, the technology inevitably circles back to how we live our
06:45lives, and that means money.
06:48During the summit, there was significant talk about quantum key distribution.
06:52This is a way of sending information using particles of light.
06:57If anyone, an intelligence agency or hacker, tries to intercept that light, the particles change their state.
07:06The sender and receiver immediately know that the link has been compromised.
07:11This is the foundation of the quantum-secured financial layer.
07:15By using satellites like China's Mishus to beam these quantum keys between BRICS capitals,
07:23they are creating a financial network that is physically impossible to hack or sanction.
07:28It bypasses the Western-controlled NDC cables and the SWIFT messaging system entirely.
07:34It is the ultimate digital fortress for a multiplayer economy.
07:39The most human side of this story is what happens to the smaller nations.
07:44In the old model of technology, you either built it yourself, which costs billions,
07:49or you bought it from a monopoly, which costs your sovereignty.
07:54The BRICS Quantum Technologies Forum is proposing a third way – technological plurality.
07:59By sharing laboratory infrastructure, a scientist in Vietnam can run experiments on a Russian iron-trap computer.
08:07The researcher in Belarus can use Chinese superconducting circuits to develop new cancer treatments.
08:13This is the payoff.
08:15It ensures that the quantum age doesn't become another era of haves and have-nots.
08:20It's a shared technological destiny that is being built from the ground up,
08:25designed to be resilient against external pressure.
08:28So, when we think about the Moscow summit, we shouldn't view it simply as a meeting of politicians,
08:34especially since there were very few of them.
08:38Instead, we should see them as the architects of a new reality.
08:43We are moving past an era where power was defined by who had the most factories or the most tanks.
08:50In the 21st century, the greatest advantage is sovereign intelligence – the ability to process information,
08:58secure your wealth, and power your civilization on your own terms.
09:04The Global South is no longer just a passenger in the technological revolution.
09:08By building this quantum backbone, they are ensuring that the future of humanity is not a linear progression of the
09:17past,
09:17but a superposition of all our possible sovereign destinies.
09:22The world is changing, not just on the maps, but at the subatomic level.
09:27And, as we have seen today, that might be the most important shift of all.
