Iran technological advancements in laser and quantum technologies

Beams of light, extreme precision and immense computational power, laser and quantum technologies sit at the heart of today's strategic tech competition, transforming industry, medicine, research, and, energy systems worldwide.

And now Iran has reached a critical turning point where homegrown expertise is translating into concrete achievements across multiple sectors.

The key point is that we have both the capacity and human resources to operate at the cutting edge of technology.

Lasers are among the high tech sectors essential to the country's long-term industrial and strategic development.

We are producing laser, optical, and, photonic technologies, and we're also moving into high speed computing.

Research in laser technology is not easily accessible as many countries do not openly share their data.

However, based on published scientific papers, we can say that Iran ranks among the leading countries in the region.

At the Iran National Laser Center, our work focuses on providing the technological foundations that enable domestic industries to remain at the cutting edge.

  Iran frontrunner in quantum technology in West Asia: Nuclear chief

  The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) inaugurates the National Center for Quantum Technologies.

Another key focus is the progress made in high performance supercomputers, while quantum computing is being developed as a next generation capability for complex simulations and advanced scientific research.

We hope that we will take long strides in this regard, in the quantum technology domain, and this technology is very much related with AI, Artificial Intelligence.

They are complementary to each other, you see, because in artificial intelligence, what you need is supercomputers.

And quantum technology will give you the supercomputers that will be by far more capable than the computers, and the capacity will be by far more than the capacity of the computers, supercomputers that exist now.
