The unveiling of a proclaimed “quantum processor” produced by the Iranian army has drawn controversy and ridicule in Persian social media.

It’s an… FPGA (?)

“Quantum” brand, then?

I’m glad it’s this and not actually real tbh.

We’ll build our own quantum computers, with blackjack and hookers! /probably

Very important to have color labeled sound outputs on your quantum computer.

Otherwise your qbits go from stereo to mono.

Yes, build a quantum computer, a thing that no other nation has openly been credited with producing in any practical terms, and hold it up for the camera and provide high resolution photographs of the board…

The Iranian military is a joke. Any military that has to resort to pomp and buzz words to look impressive is by definition a failure.

Highly sophisticated! Nobody should have access to this kind of technology!

Are these even allowed to be sold to Iran? The company producing them may not be too happy if they are supposed to be on a ‘so sale’ list.

I’ve just finished by Bachelor thesis with this board, next step: use it as an quantum AI robot super computer 😂
