Toronto Canada, Nov 13, 2025 – Forget Iron Dome. Pakistan’s top quantum lab CETQAP/CETQAC just dropped a preprint bombshell that’s lighting up defense forums worldwide: the world’s first REAL-TIME quantum radar swarm defense system, tested on actual IBM superconducting quantum chips, obliterating three hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) at Mach 6+ in under 21 seconds. Yes, you read that right. Not a simulation. Not a theory. Real quantum hardware. Real kill chain.

• Lock-on range: 83.2 km — 2× beyond classical radar limits
• Time-to-intercept: 20.7 seconds — 100% kill probability
• Entropy: 0.98 — Maximum quantum stealth detection
• Entanglement fidelity: 1.0 — Perfect photon pairing confirmed
• Hardware: IBM Brisbane (127-qubit Eagle-class)
• Runtime: 8192 shots per cycle, <4.2 sec execution

Three stealth-coated HGVs screaming in at 200 km initial range, V-formation, Mach 6.2 (~7,600 km/h).

The study, authored by Dr. Zuhair Ahmed and posted on ResearchGate and SSRN on November 4, 2025, reports that a three-qubit quantum circuit executed on IBM’s Brisbane 127-qubit processor achieved target lock-on at an average range of 83.2 kilometers. Three simulated hypersonic threats traveling at Mach 6.2 were tracked and neutralized within 21 seconds, with a modeled 100 percent interception success rate.

The system leverages quantum illumination, a technique that uses entangled photons to detect stealth-coated objects more effectively than classical radar. The researchers applied Hadamard, CNOT, and controlled-rotation gates to encode quantum superposition and entanglement, mimicking Bogoliubov-like mode transformations to amplify weak return signals.

Key performance metrics from the simulation include:

• Average lock-on range: 83.2 km
• Time from lock to intercept: 20.7 seconds
• Entanglement entropy: 0.98
• State purity: 0.52
• Interceptor velocity: 4.0 km/s
• Destruction altitude: ~40 km

The circuit ran 8,192 measurement shots per execution cycle, completing in under 4.2 seconds on the IBM backend. Readout error was mitigated to below 1.8 percent.

Dr. Ahmed stated in the paper that the results “demonstrate quantum advantage in active defense” and position Pakistan as an early leader in applied quantum sensing for national security. The work builds on theoretical foundations laid by Seth Lloyd in 2008 and extends recent advances in quantum radar theory.
