Last week, Iran's Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari stunned the quantum computing world by claiming the country had already developed and deployed quantum computing products to aid its military operations. But it now seems there was quite a bit less quantum involved than claimed. It seems the quantum computing board showcased by the Rear Admiral just last week had zero quantum computing in it and 100% of an Amazon-available ARM-based development board (ZedBoard), built by US-based Digilent.

Oh, the irony.

Read Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, Coordinating Deputy of the IR Army and the former Commander of the Iranian Navy, posed for photographs with other high-ranking military officials while claiming the newly-designed quantum computing board brought the country's capabilities towards the cutting edge. Namely, it was claimed that quantum computing was already being deployed by the Iranian military to "counter navigation deception in detecting surface vessels using the quantum algorithms."

Every company and state (and their mothers) seem keen to show off their quantum computing capabilities. This is an understandable stance; quantum computing is expected to be the "next big thing" in computing (even though the ChatGPTs and AI advancements of the world have been eclipsing quantum in the population's mind). Considering quantum computing's implications on communications security, cryptography, and many other crucial technological areas, it's expected that certain actors flex their quantum muscles towards opponents - it's both a deterrent and a claim of technological superiority.

Of course, stunts such as these do sometimes bite back; Persian media has already ridiculed the move, which has had the unintended side-effect of showcasing just how behind the quantum curve Iran really is: so much so that a gold plaque can be made for a 700, dual-core, DDR3-toting development board. It seems that the Iranian government did manage to get some quantum onto its announcement, considering how its narrative has decohered. But that's not usually the intention of making quantum computing-related announcements, is it?

For now, it seems that users looking for an over-the-counter quantum computing experience will still have to settle for SpinQ's education-aimed "Quantops." Those at least allow you to simulate qubits, which still is 100% more of them than available on Iran's ZedBoard.

Quantum Computing Market size to grow by USD 9,013.68 million ... - PR Newswire

White had appeared after former Australian of the Year, quantum computing expert Michelle Simmons. She explained how she has made the transition from world-leading scientist, to the CEO of a company that is competing head-to-head with some of the biggest tech firms on the planet.

Richard White says his company could wash its own face from the start.Peter Rae

Simmons has already taken a year to close a $130 million funding round, but said there was good news on that front around the corner. However, the evident difficulties in prizing open investors wallets has not dimmed the ambition of her vision to produce a broadly useful quantum computer by the 2030s.

Simmons was able to explain lucidly why she thinks her relatively small Sydney-based company can beat the likes of Microsoft, Google and IBM to a great prize, and it is this kind of dizzying ambition that Australian governments will be desperate to latch on to, as the resources boom fades into history.

Simmons believes they have settled on the correct materials to base a quantum computer on, have the in-house manufacturing expertise that doesnt come naturally to software giants, and has a significant advantage through its mix of corporate and government-backing.

We knew it was a deep tech play, weve kept the company small and focused and nimble, and basically we are literally gunning to get the prize, Simmons said.

It is a highly competitive field, and theres this question of if it is going to be one approach that takes everything, and my personal view is that it is.

The point is that, while we may be publishing many articles about the tech wreck and start-up failures on our pages this year, market cycles will not make or break the best companies.

One of Australias unicorn start-up founders, Luke Anear of SafetyCulture, summed this up on a later panel, when he spoke about what had made his company stand out in the first place.

In 2010 to 2012, when I was meeting with VCs in the US, they were very fond of Australian companies because we were quite disciplined due to less access to capital, he said.

We had to build companies that were economically sound from the beginning. I think over the last five or six years, there was a mad sort of period, and weve probably lost some of that discipline.

Its been wonderful to see that discipline having to come back, and were going to build real businesses again, that have real customers and make real money, Anear added.

Quantum Logic Gates: The Next Frontier in Computing Technology

Quantum logic gates, the fundamental building blocks of quantum computing, are poised to revolutionize the field of computing technology. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on digital information and the processing power of computers, the need for more advanced computing systems has become evident. Classical computers, which operate using binary bits that represent either a 0 or a 1, have limitations in their ability to solve complex problems and perform calculations at high speeds. Quantum computing, on the other hand, leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in a fundamentally different way, opening up new possibilities for solving problems that were previously considered intractable.

At the heart of quantum computing are quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously, thanks to a phenomenon known as superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform multiple calculations at once, vastly increasing their processing power compared to classical computers. Additionally, qubits can be entangled, a unique property that allows them to be correlated with one another in such a way that the state of one qubit can instantly affect the state of another, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon, known as quantum entanglement, is another key aspect of quantum computing that enables it to outperform classical computing systems.

Quantum logic gates are the devices that manipulate the states of qubits, allowing them to perform operations and calculations. These gates are analogous to classical logic gates, which perform operations on binary bits in classical computers. However, quantum logic gates operate on qubits and take advantage of their unique properties, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations that are not possible with classical logic gates. As a result, quantum logic gates have the potential to unlock a new frontier in computing technology, enabling the development of quantum computers that can solve problems and perform calculations at speeds and scales that were previously unimaginable.

One of the most significant applications of quantum computing technology is in the field of cryptography. Modern encryption methods, which are used to secure digital information and communications, rely on the difficulty of factoring large numbers into their prime components a task that is incredibly time-consuming and resource-intensive for classical computers. However, quantum computers, with their vastly superior processing power, could potentially crack these encryption methods in a fraction of the time, rendering current cryptographic techniques obsolete. This has led to a race among researchers and technology companies to develop new encryption methods that can withstand the power of quantum computing.

Another promising application of quantum computing is in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The ability of quantum computers to process vast amounts of data simultaneously could significantly accelerate the development of more advanced AI algorithms and enable the creation of more sophisticated machine learning models. This, in turn, could lead to breakthroughs in fields such as natural language processing, computer vision, and autonomous systems.

Despite the immense potential of quantum computing, there are still numerous challenges that must be overcome before this technology can be fully realized. One of the most significant obstacles is the issue of error correction, as quantum systems are highly susceptible to errors due to their delicate nature and sensitivity to external factors. Researchers are actively working on developing error-correcting codes and fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures to address this issue.

In conclusion, quantum logic gates represent the next frontier in computing technology, with the potential to revolutionize fields such as cryptography, artificial intelligence, and many others. As researchers continue to make progress in overcoming the challenges associated with quantum computing, we can expect to see a new era of technological advancements that will reshape the way we process and interact with digital information.
