Nice try, but there's no way that thing has the processing power for quantum algorithms.

I'm a big defender of writing about technological innovation on the PC Gamer site. I know you love a bit of science, and I'm always desperate to break new discoveries so my fellow PC gamers can be excited about humanity's evolution. So, of course I was raring to go when the Imam Khomeini University of Marine Sciences and Technologies unveiled the so-called"first product of the quantum processing algorithm.

If your gut told you the same thing, you'd have been right. Not long after the announcement was made, former US Department of State advisor on Iran Gabriel Noronha discovered that this"Quantum processor" is actually a widely available development board. "You too can get this 'quantum processor' for the low price of $589 on Amazon", he explains. He even adds a screenshot of the Amazon page, in case anyone feels the need to acquire one for themselves.
