Iran develops quantum communications technology

[WinterNights]

TEHRAN, Jul. 25 (MNA) – The new technology of Iran in the field of secure quantum communications was unveiled on Wednesday in Iranian National Laser Center (INLC).

The unveiling ceremony of the first laboratory for quantum entanglement was held on Wednesday in the Karaj-based INCL with head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Aliakbar Salehi, Minister of Science Manour Gholami and Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari in attendance.

Reviewing the world’s latest developments in the field of nuclear science is among the responsibilities of AEOI and one of the technologies that the world has recently focused on is that of quantum, said Salehi.

Two years ago, necessary orders for moving towards quantum technology was issued and now, Iran is not far behind advanced countries in this field, he highlighted.

Quantum technology occurs at the atomic and subatomic levels and it is incompatible with how humans perceive natural issues today, he said, adding, “for example, naturally, if a rock fells in the well, we expect that it won’t come out, but in the quantum field, we expect the stone to come out.”

The key to entering this technology is to separate atomic particles such as electrons and photons, he said, adding that regardless of the distance between them, whatever happens on one particle will affect the other particle simultaneously.

“We have separated the entangled photons in the lab and hopefully by the end of the year we can exchange photons at 7 km distance,” Salehi added.

The benefit of this technology for transferring data is that it does not require a cryptographic device, and no one can access the data, he noted.

Salehi went on to say that Chinese scientists launched the first quantum communications satellite to the space and manage to exchange photons from over 600 miles distance.

The technology also has applications in other domains such as computers, sensors, and simulations, he further added.

Scientists of this center managed to establish the first laboratory for quantum entanglement and separate photons, head of AEOI said, adding that Islamic Republic of Iran is the first Islamic country and probably the first developing country which has achieved this technology.

I don't know how far they have gone but listening to the interview, they seem to have done it and got lab results. If they really put it into use, Iran's enemies should forget about any possible eavesdropping.

Well this is necessary ,by introduction of quantum computer it won't be long that encryption become a remnant of good old days.

 

[WinterNights]

There's some talk of quantum computing too. It's great we've made a start in this field.
Like with nanotechnology, Iran should stride to become a player in this field too. Quantum and nanotech are the future.

We can't become a top player in this field unless we have our FAB and design our chips and let just say one visionary guy policy who recently bec o me an opposition aafter they put his pall behind the bar put us 15 year back in that field.

Intial prototypes Iran can use Chinese chips until the cost of production reaches reasOnable standards.

Quantum computers are potentially as soon as 15 years away from reaching mainstream, which means even shorter for top secret military projects, as they are generally ahead of the technology curve than the general public.

List of Technology Iran should be be working towards mastering:
Hypersonic Glide Vehicles
Lasers for military applications
Rail Guns
exoskeleton for human soldiers
“smart” bullets
Artificial intelligence for military application Fusion nuclear technology
Quantum computers

These are essential technologies needed to provide Iranian Dominance for next 50-100 years.

first we must learn to build newer generation of super alloys
then we must learn how to design and build new chips
then after that comes how to build engines

non of what tou said can be achieved without learning the basics

You don’t know where or at what stage advanced Iranian military research institutes are at in regards to the technologies you mentioned above.

Everything you see is based on public information released by the military or the level at with which academia research is at.

Iran is already working on engines, that much can be said.

I knew where Iran civilian industry is standing, and that show where our military stand .
the basics like metallurgy and Fabs and chip designing is the same for civilian and military . and one or two years ago they were talking about importing processors from Russia.
what else you really need to know?

Generally military is ahead of civilian technology by several years if not more!

Just look at US Spy satellites that are retired and donated to NASA, there technology is generally way ahead of what NASA has! And that is a old retired spy satellite.

So it’s not always accurate to assume civilian technology is the same as what the military has access too.

Case in point, look at Iran’s cyber technology (civilian level) and look at Iran’s military cyber warfare technology where it is considered among top 5 in the world.

wrong , the military is not ahead of civilian sectors in basics , its application of those basics that military is ahead .
a simple question it was military which made the alloy that those satellite and missiles use or civilian sectors or universities ?

Yup there is no sector where the Military or defense industry (MOD companies) are involved in and are not ahead in terms of technology and that's how it should be from producing trucks to computers to navigation to sat's, composites, aircraft, 3D printing, software...... and I would even say construction too!

Fact is technological development in most advanced countries starts with the military and works it's way down to the civilian sector but what happens with the military is not always so visible and obviously when it comes to mass production the civilian sector produces in much larger quantities based on demand

Which make ANY Iranian president that reduces Iran's defense budget a MORON!

wrong , when it come to basic science ,like metallurgy ,first its Universities that pave the way and then it is adopted by others
by the way as far as I knew the most advanced of our satellites are the ones which ar built abroad , and then re the ones built by universities.
and if by construction you mean Khatam-Al_Anbia construction base ,you are wrong , they are not more advance they are just wealthier so they get the contracts as a whole and then divide them to smaller parts and do some port of them themselves and gave other parts to civilian non military contractors (Sadly its a process that make those project some how more expensive than they should be)

and no you are wrong in advanced countries research and all those fancy thing start in universities and financed partly by universities but mainly by private companies and then the army announce they need something and those companies use what presented by those research and made them into a final product and those product compete with each other and the army choose what they like best.

by the way our national somehow mediocre super computer is built by civilian sector not military , our strongest concrete has nothing to do with military but by university student and I don't knew if military even adopted it or not . our composites and nano technology stuff is pioneered by private companies and small science based companies not military .
and who said military have better programmer than private sector , go and see how much of their software are outsources to private sector or open source available software you can download from the net.

they even are naive enough to use spywares like Microsoft Windows instead of going at least after for example their own Distro of Linux(We had 6 Iranian Distro and again some people decided instead of supporting them use Spyware like Microsoft Windows and it's what I call infinite Wisdom , another thing I call infinite wisdom is what happened with StuxNet ,when they used European provided IC's in nuclear program but they didn't change those IC's programing and left them vulnerable to the Attack which could have easily stopped if the programing of those IC's were modified and the Virus could not interact with them )

You are beyond ignorant if you think a handful of MIT Students are gonna beat DARPA or other military black project research institutes. Absurd.

Also you are comparing apples to oranges, what MIT or other top universities focus on doesnt always align with what DARPA and other military research institutes are focusing on.

No point in arguing with you. You simply fail to understand a lot of time what the world’s top militaries develop don’t get declassified/released till DECADES later.
