Tehran, IRNA – The head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said that the country’s advancement in quantum technology in the last five years is valuable and praiseworthy and suggests a bright future in this area.

In a meeting on Saturday attended by AEOI chief Ali-Akbar Salehi and head of Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute (NSTRI) Javad Karimi-Sabet, executives of institutes working on quantum technology gave a report on their achievements in the area.

He proposed to sponsor publication of a specialized international magazine in English Language to reflect current activities in Iran on quantum technologies.
