Celebrating a decade of the Belt and Road Initiative ("BRI"), China has successfully inked over 200 cooperation agreements with upwards of 150 nations and 30+ international organizations across five continents as of June 2023.

"The initiative is a catalyst for new development opportunities and trajectories for many countries, promoting a world that is more open, inclusive, and interconnected," expressed Mushahid Hussain Syed, the head of the Defense Committee in the Pakistani Senate.

"Thar, a desert region in Pakistan known for its aridity and poverty, is now experiencing a significant transformation. The coal resources in the area are being utilized, generating 1,300MW of electricity annually," introduced Mushahid. "Many of the truck drivers transporting the coal are women who have seen a dramatic improvement in their living conditions and skill sets."

"China’s modernization strategy, grounded in openness and a win-win mindset, has been extended to all countries. The emergence of China creates many new opportunities for developing nations, benefiting around 80% of the world’s population. The BRI has been a key factor in turning these opportunities into real benefits," commented Martin Jacques, a respected China specialist and guest professor at Tsinghua University.

"The increasing effects of global warming have made it necessary for us to shift towards clean energy and sustainable development. The BRI, which initially focused on infrastructure construction, has evolved to help developing countries transition to green and digital technologies," Martin noted.

Neil Bush, the founder and chairman of the George H.W. Bush Foundation For U.S.-China Relations, believes that U.S. companies in China can help bridge the gap between the two nations by sharing their experiences and promoting mutual respect.

"A substantial number of American businesses remain active in China, utilizing the market and importing Chinese products. It’s advantageous for both," said Neil.

IBM Quantum Development & Innovation Roadmaps


University of Tokyo, Argonne National Laboratory, Fundacion Ikerbasque, Qedma, Algorithmiq, University of Washington, University of Cologne, Harvard University, UC Berkeley, Q-CTRL demonstrate new research to explore power of utility-scale quantum computing ‘IBM Quantum Heron’ is released as IBM’s most performant quantum processor in the world, with newly built architecture offering up to five-fold improvement in error reduction over ‘IBM Quantum Eagle’ IBM Quantum System Two begins operation with three IBM Heron processors, designed to bring quantum-centric supercomputing to reality Expansion of IBM Quantum Development Roadmap for next ten years prioritizes improvements in gate operations to scale with quality towards advanced error-corrected systems Qiskit 1.0 announced, the world’s most widely used open-source quantum programming software, with new features to help computational scientists execute quantum circuits with ease and speed IBM showcases generative AI models engineered to automate quantum code development with watsonx and optimize quantum circuits

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, at the annual IBM Quantum Summit in New York, IBM (NYSE: IBM) debuted ‘IBM Quantum Heron,’ the first in a new series of utility-scale quantum processors with an architecture engineered over the past four years to deliver IBM’s highest performance metrics and lowest error rates of any IBM Quantum processor to date.

IBM also unveiled IBM Quantum System Two, the company’s first modular quantum computer and cornerstone of IBM’s quantum-centric supercomputing architecture. The first IBM Quantum System Two, located in Yorktown Heights, New York, has begun operations with three IBM Heron processors and supporting control electronics. 

With this critical foundation now in place, along with other breakthroughs in quantum hardware, theory, and software, the company is extending its IBM Quantum Development Roadmap to 2033 with new targets to significantly advance the quality of gate operations. Doing so would increase the size of quantum circuits able to be run and help to realize the full potential of quantum computing at scale. 

"We are firmly within the era in which quantum computers are being used as a tool to explore new frontiers of science," said Dario Gil, IBM SVP and Director of Research. "As we continue to advance how quantum systems can scale and deliver value through modular architectures, we will further increase the quality of a utility-scale quantum technology stack – and put it into the hands of our users and partners who will push the boundaries of more complex problems."

As demonstrated by IBM earlier this year on a 127-qubit ‘IBM Quantum Eagle’ processor, IBM Quantum systems can now serve as a scientific tool to explore utility-scale classes of problems in chemistry, physics, and materials beyond brute force classical simulation of quantum mechanics.

Since that demonstration, leading researchers, scientists, and engineers from organizations including the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Tokyo, the University of Washington, the University of Cologne, Harvard University, Qedma, Algorithmiq, UC Berkeley, Q-CTRL, Fundacion Ikerbasque, Donostia International Physics Center, and the University of the Basque Country, as well as IBM, have expanded demonstrations of utility-scale quantum computing to confirm its value in exploring uncharted computational territory.

This includes experiments already running on the new IBM Quantum Heron 133-qubit processor, which IBM is making available for users today via the cloud. IBM Heron is the first in IBM’s new class of performant processors with significantly improved error rates, offering a five-times improvement over the previous best records set by IBM Eagle. Additional IBM Heron processors will join IBM’s industry-leading, utility-scale fleet of systems over the course of the next year.

IBM Quantum System Two and Extended IBM Quantum Development Roadmap

IBM Quantum System Two is the foundation of IBM’s next generation quantum computing system architecture. It combines scalable cryogenic infrastructure and classical runtime servers with modular qubit control electronics. The new system is a building block for IBM’s vision of quantum-centric supercomputing. This architecture combines quantum communication and computation, assisted by classical computing resources, and leverages a middleware layer to appropriately integrate quantum and classical workflows.

As part of the newly expanded ten-year IBM Quantum Development Roadmap, IBM plans for this system to also house IBM’s future generations of quantum processors. Also, as part of this roadmap, these future processors are intended to gradually improve the quality of operations they can run to significantly extend the complexity and size of workloads they are capable of handling.

Qiskit and Generative AI to Increase Ease of Quantum Software Programming 

Today, IBM is also detailing plans for a new generation of its software stack, within which Qiskit 1.0 will be a pivot point defined by stability and speed. Additionally, and with the goal of democratizing quantum computing development, IBM is announcing Qiskit Patterns.

Qiskit Patterns will serve as a mechanism to allow quantum developers to more easily create code. It is based in a collection of tools to simply map classical problems, optimize them to quantum circuits using Qiskit, executing those circuits using Qiskit Runtime, and then postprocess the results. With Qiskit Patterns, combined with Quantum Serverless, users will be able to build, deploy, and execute workflows integrating classical and quantum computation in different environments, such as cloud or on-prem scenarios. All of these tools will provide building blocks for users to build and run quantum algorithms more easily.

Additionally, IBM is pioneering the use of generative AI for quantum code programming through watsonx, IBM’s enterprise AI platform. IBM will integrate generative AI available through watsonx to help automate the development of quantum code for Qiskit. This will be achieved through the finetuning of the IBM Granite model series.

"Generative AI and quantum computing are both reaching an inflection point, presenting us with the opportunity to use the trusted foundation model framework of watsonx to simplify how quantum algorithms can be built for utility-scale exploration," said Jay Gambetta, Vice President and IBM Fellow at IBM. "This is a significant step towards broadening how quantum computing can be accessed and put in the hands of users as an instrument for scientific exploration."

With advanced hardware across IBM’s global fleet of 100+ qubit systems, as well as easy-to-use software that IBM is debuting in Qiskit, users and computational scientists can now obtain reliable results from quantum systems as they map increasingly larger and more complex problems to quantum circuits.

Mootral introduces new methane reduction technology, doubling efficacy using a well-known natural molecule

0
Mootral believes that every cow should be a part of the climate solution.

Mootral’s new platform reduces methane emissions from cows by 50% and can be delivered to both housed and grazing cattle, vastly increasing the opportunity to reduce methane emissions globally

LONDON, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Mootral, a British biotech company, announces it has completed the in vitro development and testing phase and is now commencing a range of in vivo trials of its Enterix Advanced technology, set to significantly boost the methane reduction efficacy of the original Enterix™ product, while maintaining productivity benefits essential for wide-scale farmer adoption.


Mootral believes that every cow should be a part of the climate solution.

Enterix Advanced incorporates a patented technology that harnesses the power of iodoform, known for its methane-inhibiting properties, by synergizing it with specific active compounds from garlic. This approach builds on Mootral’s original technology, which is already in use on UK commercial farms. The key lies in the strong synergy between these compounds, allowing for significant emission reductions without impacting dry matter intake and milk yield, a potential problem previously associated with high doses of iodoform.

Mootral’s new technology allows for a controlled release formulation necessary for bolus administration in grazing cattle, vastly increasing the potential for methane mitigation in animal agriculture globally. 

"A known methane suppressant, iodoform has the same mode of action as bromoform, the active ingredient in some species of seaweed proposed for methane reduction," said Thomas Hafner, Founder and CEO of Mootral. "Critically, it is a familiar compound already approved for certain uses in human and animal health, it is non-carcinogenic, non-ozone depleting, and can be scaled easily and affordably."

Mootral’s R&D is based on first principles of efficacy, scalability and farmer benefits. Its Enterix Advanced technology delivers all three – through significant methane reduction, applicability in both housed and grazing animals, and productivity and animal health benefits key to farmer adoption. It can also be scaled without the need for massive investments. 

"Our North Star is our desire to turn animal agriculture into a climate success by improving farmer economics and benefits. We have found a solution that can be applied to any cow in any setting, while making commercial sense for the farmer and being sustainable for the planet," said Hafner. 

The opportunity to reduce methane is both urgent – the gas traps 84 times more heat than carbon dioxide – and highly strategic – its reduction can have an immediate measurable impact on climate mitigation. Methane generated from enteric fermentation during cows’ digestion accounts for nearly 30 percent of all human-induced methane emissions. 

Extensive in vivo trials will take place in 2024, with the goal of obtaining regulatory approvals from late 2026. Mootral is accelerating the speed of its rollout with a plan to scale into as many as 300 million cows within the next decade.
