    • @TechnologyBeyondTomorrow-TBT

      You’ve got it! Quantum computing does introduce a new layer of complexity with superposition, where you can have a vast number of potential solutions, but the real challenge lies in ‘collapsing’ to the correct one. The trick is developing algorithms that effectively sift through these probabilities-it's a completely different way of computing compared to classical computers!

    It was great to see that the guest did not commit to answering ANY question directly. The most complex problem solved with Q compute is a child's division problem. That is all. If they had anything more to show, they would be dancing to heaven with it. I hate it that QM computer people and, in fact, most of the physics community is so dishonest. The fact that their coherence times are still low and that quantum memory is yet to be implemented are just "details" according to them. The problem is that once one community makes it a norm to make egregiously outrageous claims of success or promise of solving problems in unreasonable timeframes, other communities follow sut since funding comes from the same aggregate. This has vitiated the whole academic research system.

      I also don't believe that memory is an issue. I believe that the quantum state alone can be used as the memory and if external quantum memory/quantum RAM is necessary then it really is only just a detail that we don't yet have it.

    Make the slit stage out of 1 to 5 atom layer thick sheets of graphine and the wave pattern will reduce or vanish. You will have 2 slit pattern.
    The electrons are already ommiting with randomly different vectors out of the cathode. As they hit the treshold edges of the slits, they ricochet into different vectors and either fail to enter the slits opening; or they enter the opening and ricochet off the inner sides of the slits like a tennis ball in a tunnel. As they exit the slit(tunnel) they have one of a finite number of trajectories, creating the wave lile interference pattern on the screen.

However, while the hype suggests we're on the brink of a quantum revolution, the reality is that many challenges such as error rates and qubit stability remain unsolved.

    If you think of everything as fields, and "particles" as excited areas of a field, then things are still confusing, but not quite as confusing.
    Plus our brains are quantum computers! Our brains use a lot of shortcuts to process information, quantum mechanically, for us to understand.
    As our brains evolve, along w/ technology, we'll have a better, and eventually even complete, understanding of what happens at the quantum level. Considering we continue to have the ability to evolve/advance at any rate.

      The brain itself is too big to be entirely quantum but all chemical processes are in the end a combination of quantum effects and statistical processes. When you talk about many molecules, you are at a level where you look at rates. If quantum effects played too much a role in the brain to make it fancy the brain and the body would be way more fragile. On the other hand the biochemistry itself takes quantum effects into account but only on a level of chemical reactions. In the end the question is - when you have many reactions at the same times probability turns into rates. Let's say quantum mechanics allows for different reactions happening at the same time and you get certain probabilities for them. Yet to have resilience in a physical world you need tons of redundancy. Seeing the body as a big chemical machine if individual quantum effects were so strong that it would strongly influence decisions then the human body and mind would be incredible fragile. It already is incredible fragile compared to most stable chemical structures due to its complexity but still has amazing repair mechanisms. What I mean is the following - you have to distinguish between all the fancy spooky stuff in quantum information that allows for more information storage and processing, quantum randomness, classical randomness and quantum chemistry. Quantum chemistry describes how small reaction mechanisms look like and some of those effects may play a part. But this is just normal physics, that chemistry is quantum, is old and known. If you want to look at the fancy stuff in quantum information you need to look at very isolated systems. Entanglement in systems as complex as biochemical systems might play some role but it still is rather neglectable compared to the complexity of the system as a whole. If your brain was a quantum computer somehow you could not live. So for forming new synapses in the brain I'd rather bet on statistical mechanics combined with some optimizations by quantum chemistry.

    This was a great talk about Quantum computer and its algorithmic functions. I watched it 3 times to understand little about Quantum computer. Professor Brian Greene asked some great questions but the answers weren't convincing. Quantum mechanics and Quantum entanglement have big role in Qubits algorithm. Quantum entanglement which was spooky action for great Albert Einstein, but His General Relativity also interacts with modern Particle Physics to predict theory of Single Graviton Particle which is outstanding.
    The Single Graviton Particle is completely different from other particles. It is million times powerful than all other observable particles. The entire gravity force has only one particle and that's the Single Graviton Particle which controls entire Earth's gravitational force and Its objects not to collide with one another. Its mass, energy, light and power is beyond the imagination. A beautiful article can be written about theory of Single Graviton Particle to predict Its energy density and functions.

    Questions - Do the slits in the wall have a particular width, depth, shape to them. Are they like a fortress type slit, narrow on the inside, going wider to the outside..? Do the particles bounce off the insides of the slits or pass straight through? Is there any interference of the particle on the way towards the slit? What's causing the initial spin of the particle/electron..?

      Excellent questions! The slits in quantum experiments, like the famous double-slit, do have specific properties, and the setup is incredibly sensitive. Photons interact with their environment in fascinating ways, even when it seems like they’re traveling in a straight line. Air molecules, the slit edges, and even the way we observe can influence the outcome. These minute details make quantum experiments so mind-blowingly complex but also reveal the deep, intricate nature of reality.

    Double slit experiment: using classical slits for a quantum experiment… I doubt our tech is sending single photos. Through 100 baseballs each shot through 2 slits and it’ll make a “wave” as well. Can you explain how they’re sending single photons and not what looks like a single photon?

      hmmm! In the double slit experiment, photons can indeed be sent one at a time, and the interference pattern still emerges due to their wave-like nature. The tech used in these setups is highly sensitive and designed specifically to control and detect single photons. It's mind-boggling, but even baseballs would behave differently due to their much larger mass and classical nature.

    A single electron itself only form a single spot. The interference pattern is a property of a collection of dots produced by many electrons in the collection. Thus wave nature, if at all, is only exhibited by the collection, so DSE does not say that a single electron is a wave. It may be riding a terrain established by a latent, standing probability wave that is a function of configuration of distances in the experiment. Bohmian mechanics proposes existence of such a wave which is separate from the electron itself. For example if we keep changing the distances in the experiment, for every electron, the pattern may disappear altogether. or become fuzzier.

    • @TechnologyBeyondTomorrow-TBT

    Intuitively speaking, one of the basic laws of physics states that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Conversely, it should follow that one object cannot be doing two things at the same time. So, I feel that the idea that a particle can spin up and down at the same time is just an illusion caused by our inability to differentiate a particle’s state at infinitesimally small fractions of time. A camera needs a very fast lens to capture fast moving objects. Similarly, there is a limit to our visual perception and technology where it appears to be in two states at the same time.

      The laws of physics are based on observation, not on intuition. State superposition does exist. Bosons are particles that can occupy the same space and energy levels, while fermions cannot occupy the same space with the same energy level (due to what is called Pauli principle). The spin superposition is not caused due to a limit in our measurement, it is a fundamental property of the quantic realm.

    The power of quantum computing comes from it's ability to parallel process, which classical computers can't match, as classical computing requires additional CPU cores to process in parallel. The tradeoff comes from the difference in power to run the stacks. Quantum Computer's can represent 2^N positions per q-bit simultaneous in quantum memory. Which quickly becomes an unimaginable amount of positions to represent at once. But it could be used to model the observable universe, possibly beyond.

    So why do we talk about probabilities in QM if they can be negative? And what happens if two waves meet at point 0.9 "probability" for each particle? What is then the resulting probability/amplitude? And the last question: aren't these "probability" waves just standard waves (of mass or energy) propagating through space?

    • @TechnologyBeyondTomorrow-TBT
      @TechnologyBeyondTomorrow-TBT Месяц назад

      Quantum probabilities are a bit counterintuitive. When two waves meet, they can interfere either constructively or destructively, resulting in positive, negative, or even zero probability amplitudes at certain points. It’s part of the magic of quantum mechanics, where probabilities aren't just classical chances, but linked to the underlying wave functions. If two waves meet, we need to add their complex amplitudes. If their amplitudes align constructively, they can reinforce each other, potentially increasing the probability. If they destructively interfere, the result could be smaller or even zero probability at certain points.

    • @Jqmmm
      @Jqmmm Месяц назад

      The things that can be negative or even imaginary are probability *amplitudes* and not probabilities. The actual probabilities work out all fine and behave as what you would've expect. And when one describes two particles, the wave is actually somewhat like an object that spans across two copies of space they live in, determining the probability for the first AND the second particle to be in their respective locations, and if you're familiar with probability linguo, essentially a joint probability. The essential difference between quantum uncertainties and usually probabilities is that the former combines things by combining those weird probability amplitudes.

    • @Jqmmm
      @Jqmmm Месяц назад

      They are not waves of mass or energy. They are instead waves encoding the probability of the quantum object being in a certain place if we are talking about these waves being in space. But in fact these waves do not have to be in actual physical space. They can be waves in the "space" of all the possible values of momentum, for example.

      And to show how QM reconstructs the experimental results is just too technical for a general audience. Even for someone with sufficient mathematical knowledge, it would be roughly 5 minutes describing the rules and ~20 minutes writing code that reflects the mathematical description of the rules to create some type of visualization for a particular experiment, and another ~ 5 minutes explaining why the visualized results fit the experiment. And that would already be a proper university tutorial session.

    What if we considered this classically, but balls passing through the slits are curve balls.
    Or imagine it as two slits along 2 identical bowling lanes. One lane will be Spin Up one lane will be Spin down. The bowling ball will curve left or right due to an off center mass but it is random. We also do not know which of the two slits it will pass through on the lane the left slit or the right slit.
    Since the path after passing the slit is not straight we would expect an “interference” pattern. There would be locations that would not be possible if the ball was spinning left and passing through the left hole.
    The bowling lane example would lack freedom to rotate in the 3rd dimension, but it should produce the interference patterns, without needing to pass both holes simultaneously.
    I would think it would make sense to use an object that is traveling along a curved path, because elementary particles have angular momentum and therefore should not be traveling on a linear path.

Makes me wonder what would happen in a case that outputs both true and false. From a computing perspective, all conditional statements at that qubit would essentially return true. That's not exactly how to think of it from a quantum perspective. It just goes to show that applying classical computing logic to the idea of "neither true nor false" just doesn't hit right. Quantum computers actually have to be logically distinct.
