For several years now, countries have realized the importance of investing in technological development, and therefore each nation has invested at its own pace and possibilities in working on new projects. Within this technological race, there is no doubt that the US, China and Japan are the leaders, but that does not mean that there are not other countries with outstanding innovations that the rest of the territories have not yet reached.
This no longer only affects the technological possibilities of a country, but this development and innovation in said sector It is a great attraction for investors and collaborators, something that interests any country. That is why many of these territories that do not lead this technological race nor are among the most innovative They have to do whatever it takes to get some attention and not be left behind and forgotten. in what is and will be the fastest growing industry of the next decade at least.
Iran managed to turn several heads when it announced that was working on a powerful quantum processor that was supposedly the “first product of the quantum processing algorithm.” In reality this happened a few weeks ago, and it was the Iranian admiral Habibollah Sayyari, who at the Iman Khomeini University of Marine Sciences and Technologies showed the supposed great “technological revolution.”
This revelation quickly attracted a lot of attention, and not for the better, since This processor was very small and had a fairly basic circuit patternso it seemed very unlikely, if not impossible, that it had the power for graphics processing.
It was not until Gabriel Noronha, former advisor to the US State Department on Iran, who brought Iran’s plot to light through his Twitter account. And as he pointed out, The country was trying to sell its quantum processor to the world when in reality it was a development board that anyone can buy on Amazon.
Last week, Iranian Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari announced Iran had built a breakthrough quantum processor that can detect surface vessels using quantum algorithms.
You too can get this “quantum processor” for the low price of $589 on Amazon! pic.twitter.com/1WOAM8MTRe

Noronha explained that you could get one just like it “for the modest price of 589 dollars (about 540 euros) on Amazon” and in fact he shared a screenshot in which it was clearly seen that it was the same product. It is evident that this device is insufficient to power a quantum processor, since it is capable of video processing, software acceleration, motor control, Linux/Android/RTOS development, among other things, but it is by no means a technological revolution. .
