In an exclusive interview with Iran Press correspondent,Ali Akbar Salehi said,one of the technologies that the world has recently focused on is that of quantum and Iran is not far behind advanced countries in this field.
He added, Quantum technology occurs at the atomic and subatomic levels and it is incompatible with how humans perceive natural issues today. “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.” said Salehi.
“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.
Pointing out that the benefit of this technology for transferring data is that it does not require a cryptographic device, he noted, no one can access the data.
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.
Salehi's remarks while being expressed that 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.
