The internet has wholly debunked claims over the so-called 'first product of the quantum processing algorithm.'

    As an Iranian, yeah sounds about right. The Ayatollah is so full of shit. With that said please be sure to be careful to not be racist. The Iranian people are all great people, it is the government who is evil.

    Wow… I didn’t know you could get a quantum processor for so cheap

    This is what happens when there’s a Raspberry Pi shortage.

    Didn’t they have a “Stealth Fighter” that people spotted generic General Aviation equipment in and was basically a hilarious fantasy mockup? Shocking!

    Is the board in the picture what they tried to pass off as a quantum processor?

    There’s no way anyone actually fell for that

    Maybe a dev board was so revolutionary to them they thought it was quantum tech

    It’s insane that they took a picture with a dev board and thought that would fly

      Audio jacks, VGA, and HDMI, I think. Things you’d expect from a quantum board.

        Do you really expect the to break encryption, and explore quantum probabilities without being able to listen to Spotify?

    They probably used it to watch Interstellar so they could get some of that sweet sweet Quantum Data
