BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 22. Iran plans to
present a quantum computer next year (from March 21, 2026, through
March 20, 2027), Iranian Vice President and Chairman of the Atomic
Energy Organization Mohammad Eslami said at an event organized to
present new achievements of Iran's National Center for Laser
Sciences and Arts in Tehran today, Trend reports.
According to him, after the presentation of the first potential
quantum computer, it's planned to take greater steps in the field
of calculations.
Eslami noted that expanding cooperation with universities and
training teachers and personnel are in the focus of attention in
this area.
He added that Iran has achieved great achievements in the
sensors, quantum computers, coding, and communication sectors.
"Laser, photonics, and quantum will have a great impact on
people's lives in the future. The country's potential is being
developed, taking into account the needs of citizens and the
industrial sector," he pointed out.
A quantum computer is a groundbreaking piece of technology that
uses quantum mechanics principles like superposition and
entanglement to process information. This lets it solve hard
problems much faster than classical computers because it can look
at many options at once. Unlike classical bits, which can only be 0
or 1, quantum bits (qubits) can be both at the same time. It uses
things that happen at the atomic level, such as atoms, electrons,
and photons, to do computations. This lets it solve problems in
drug discovery, materials research, and encryption that today's
supercomputers can't.
