Islamabad, Pakistan – October 2025 — In a remarkable academic milestone, Dr. Zuhair Ahmed, a Pakistani quantum physicist and founder of the Centre for Emerging Technologies in Quantum and Advanced Physics (CETQAP), has been ranked #244,448 out of 2,426,559 authors globally on the Elsevier SSRN (Social Science Research Network). This places him in the top 10% of researchers worldwide, a distinction that reflects both scholarly excellence and consistent research impact.

The SSRN global author rankings are based on the visibility and readership of academic papers across diverse disciplines. Dr. Ahmed’s consistent presence among the most-read researchers demonstrates growing international interest in his pioneering work in quantum information science, consciousness studies, and advanced theoretical physics.

Dr. Ahmed, who has authored notable works including Quantum 2050, Quantum Echoes, and the groundbreaking theoretical proposal Spectral Proto-Force Theory, continues to lead Pakistan’s first private quantum research initiative — CETQAP — focusing on high-impact experimental and theoretical advancements such as Quantum Time Reversal Interferometry (QTRI) and large-scale GHZ-state generation on IBM Quantum systems.

Speaking about this achievement, Dr. Ahmed remarked,

“This ranking is not a personal milestone but a reflection of Pakistan’s growing presence in global quantum research. Our aim is to inspire the next generation of scientists and position our nation as a contributor to the frontier of 21st-century physics.”

As Pakistan celebrates its expanding footprint in scientific innovation, Dr. Zuhair Ahmed’s recognition on SSRN stands as a testament to how independent research institutions can achieve world-class standards through persistence, collaboration, and vision.
