Great perspective John. You certainly have witnessed the world change through your lifetime as technology advanced. You are one of the increasingly rare individuals who knows what life was like before the digital era arrived. Your perspective is important, thank you for sharing!
I have recently come to the conclusion that we probably live at a stage of a reincarnation of the Roman empire which is equivalent to the first century of the common era. This would mean that within the upcoming 88 years, technological progress likely would largely come to an end, for a while, just like that has happened at some point later in the first century.
If this is true normal computers only work by what we put into them if thing thing is pioneered it will dictate every computer in the world and enslave world ideology to the point where we won’t be able to think for ourselves in the technological world if they want to control the world medias
You know how we look back at the first ever calculator and storage devices' physical sizes in comparison to today's devices? One day, future generations will look at the physical size of this quantum computer and think, "Wow, we came a long way"
Yupp, dimentional shift, then all other infrastructure will require a lift. It's the water that lifts all boats. The democratization of super instant intelligence.
I'm amazed by the speed at which technology has progressed. Today, just a little over 250 years since the Industrial Revolution began, we're on the cusp of breakthroughs incomprehensible. As exciting as I find all this, I'm concerned that we humans are stuck with our failings.
This is beyond sky net… this is beginning of a quantum controlled simulated reality where your brain will be chipped and connected to, in a simulation in another quantum dimension where time doesn’t exist and therefore you can live unlimited lives in simulated universes. Skynet may be the group forcing humans to connect to a simulation after they may conquer earth. Much like terminator and matrix combined
The holy Grail will be when machine learning goes quantum... It's capabilities will instantly scale up to millions of not billions times faster than how fast we can think. It truly will be the next civilization.
@@demolast9128 Good. Humans aren't meant to spend 40 hours a week working meaningless jobs, it's why many people are so miserable. Humans should be creating and innovating as a civilization.

Some years ago Michio Kaku didn't think there were any quantum computers in existence. He said something along the lines of, "a sneeze a block away would cause decoherance". I think it was in reference to D-Wave quantum computers or something. How quickly things change.
Regarding what the medical doctor mentioned about using a quantum computer, it certainly seems to me that one of the biggest problems in medicine is the human physiology is so complex that there is no one size fits all for every patient but that is what is done in the interest of efficiency and cost. There have been people, scientist who have cured their own cancer but it required a targeted medication made specifically for that one person. I would anticipate in the future and that when someone gets a disease instead of taking the next most promising drug, a new drug will be made specifically for that person.., imagine that?
Maybe instead of patients having their own doctors with access to their medical records, patients will have their own medical quantum computer, or even one quantum computer for each family; since genetics plays a big role in the health and lifestyles of individuals.
Many cures for diseases were identified decades ago and squashed by Big Pharma. The health no care industry makes money from sick folks, well people don’t need them.
I was there and remember 1980 and the first computers at school, now look whats just around the corner. I wish i could be working and digging onto the core electronics of this. Never thought I be alive for anything close to this step. Love and thanks for the great reporting.
I find it quite amazing that the US alone spends over one billion each year in research in regards to quantum computing. So it makes me wonder how much are other countries and establishments actually investing in this type of research.
Everybody and their mama is trying to build a quantum computer right now but IBM Google and the rest of silicon valley are out in the lead right now. I'm sure China is investing a similar amount of money in it as well.
As soon as anyone pulls out Michio Kaku for an explanation, it's over. The man excels at passionately speaking about interesting subjects without ever saying anything at all.
He made claims that have no proof, I respect the man but a few minutes of research in quantum computers show you that there is no evidence that we would be able to "solve a maze" faster with them.
Good point! For example, there is a ubiquitous reincarnation-like phenomenon dominating our lives, copying entire cities and even continents from one celestial body to the next (for example, the Plymouth of Winston Churchill to Pyongyang). Not many people will believe this, until now. Only when computers find it out on their own, perhaps, this aspect of reality will become a lot more famous. A machine would seem less prone to having an interest in lying.
Ordinary computers that you use today will still be faster in most of the things you do now - like browse the web or watch RUclips. Quantum Computers will be exponentially faster in some types of computing ie. factoring prime numbers or searching through a huge space for a solution. In fact computer scientist and mathematicians still are in the beginning stages when it comes to quantum algorithms.
Wow. I’ve always been facinated by technology and when I was a kid, I used to wonder at what age would it begin to feel like technology seemed almost like magic to me, the same way my granparents expressed astonishment with technology, at 51 years old, I think it is now starting to feel like that to me. Its amazing how often I see a headline about some incredible new discovery that I often overlook now becuase I’ve become almost desensitized to them, when in the past they where more rare and jumped at every chance to explore them. What a previldge it is to live in this era to witness all this.
Sounds conceptually similar to how recent fMRI research show that the brain exhibits a coordinated , or coherent, wave of activity in certain regions with resonance in many circumstances; applause, music, etc. the folds of the brain can be seen as analogous to the waveguides used in these computers. Perhaps a large enough quantum calculation is consciousness. Fascinating.
We don’t even know how consciousness works, all current machine learning tech is just a probability machine mimicking patterns in data inputed by humans. We input labeled data and it outputs a baked cake with a black box inbetween. programmers have no ability to understand or access the recipe. all current “ai” hallucinates and outputs nonsense on occasion because it doesn’t understand anything at all it just mimics patterns. You can supercharge our current techniques by a trillion and you may get extremely powerful incomprehensibly flawed tools that can be used to complete complicated tasks but without utterly groundbreaking approaches theorized by humans they will be as conscious and intelligent as a hammer. Simply adding more compute doesn’t get us any closer to creating a consciousness.
If quantum computers are able to trace back human history, reveal our genome, and calculate how changes to each base pair would result, It would be quite interesting to know and I'll be looking forward to it.
3:11 I love how he had to explain the coin is animated because we live in an age when technology is changing so fast that it's hard to know what's real and what isn't.
Like the personal computer, it really wasn't ubiquitous until internet shopping became popular, so quantum processing won't be ubiquitous until some other invention makes it a must for homes and businesses. I doubt proteomics or current applications will be its main use, I reckon it'll be simulation gaming so high in fidelity that it won't be distinguishable from reality.
Yeah, and the most effective AI paradigms we've found so far (neural nets built with genetic machine learning algorithms) seem like they lend themselves very well to quantum computing architecture. Training these AIs typically involves sifting through huge information spaces looking for best solutions, something quantum computing algorithms are well suited for.
AI as a concept is over 60 years old. Quantum computers and AI are related like Boston Dynamics Atlas and a Neuralink implant. Where is the connection?
@@xxxy912 "as a concept" I'm talking about reality not fiction or theory. Boston dynamics and neurallink have more in common than you think. They both are on the front lines of discovery and engineering. Both wouldn't be possible without an advanced scientific understanding. We are living in the technological revolution and don't realize it. What I'm referring too is a nexus point where computing, AI, and machine learning all converge to benefit the other.
@@brackzaff Also, space is still way too warm. Especially in the near solar system by earth's orbit where it averages around 50 degrees fahrenheit (about 10 c or about 287 kelvin) (really it's two temperatures, with a drastic swing depending on whether you're in direct sunlight or behind the earth, but it's never colder than about a hundred degrees kelvin). Absolute zero is COLD, and these things need to get ridiculously close in order to get the superconductive properties they need for the qubits to work.
I hope weather predictions can be done by Quantum computing. The most powerful computers right now are at best “close”. Quantum will essentially show “exact” locations and times for tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms and even localized lightning strikes. Imagine the lives saved.
the problem with weather is that it's got too many variables and those variables have variables lol and they're all constantly changing. if a quantum AI could predict weather with over 85% accuracy, I'd be fascinated
This is a truly impressive article. The 60 Minutes team conveys a lot of information about quantum computing and some of the hardest concepts without sacrificing accuracy for the sake of simplicity. Not an easy task. (I've been there.) Bravo! (One note: Dario Gill correctly points out that IBM's Qiskit makes quantum computing accessible for users to solve problems with traditional classical computer languages and techniques. But, for those who want to explore a whole new realm, the programming techniques within a quantum computer actually do use a different and fascinating concept of programming. Most users won't need to go down to that level, but those that choose to will find it a rewarding experience.)
I used to worry that Quantum Computers would break the encryption our society runs on.. But after the latest leaks out of OpenAI, about an AI model supposedly decrypting AES192.. I'm less worried about the potential of Quantum Computers, and more worried about what companies are gonna start doing, with that level of AI.
Yeah the prime based encryption schemes are definitely going to go away but there are other encryptions that neither AI or quantum computing will be able to break.
I’d love to see it but at the same time it’s scary because of the power they have and its ability to unlock every encryption and harvest any and all data..
it can already be done. the question is whose information is it? what is privacy? what will the information be used for? who will profit for and from it? what are the benefits or consequences?
This video makes it seem that quantum computers will replace classical ones, but that's not at all true. They will operate in different realms. There are things a classical computer can do and will always be able to do more efficiently than a quantum computer and vice versa.
I think you need to watch the video again. When we think in terms of binary code, it doesn't matter what you write the program in: C++, Python, Assembly Language ... all the data is essentially 1's and 0's. So every 'word' or 'command' that you see in binary is some combination of one's and zero's. In eight bit it will be a total of eight 1's & 0's in various sequences that make up a "word". So in 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit or 128 bit, you either have 16, 32, 64, or 128 ones and zeros in various combinations that make up a single byte or "word" of data. But if you use the same processor to do work on larger and larger chunks of data the thorough put or processing speed becomes what slows everything down. So quantum computing uses 'states' or relative positions of electrons instead of 1's and 0's which means a bunch more information. Also there is a phenomenon in particle physics where if you take a particle or a constituent of an electron (I think) and take another particle from the same electron, they will always be in opposite states. Ie. If you change the spin or 'position' of one pair, the other will always be the polar opposite state. And this is true INDEPENDENT of distances between the particles. If there is a change to one positron, the other on another planet will reflect the change in opposite "spin" or state. Thus, regardless of distances, from one end of the galaxy to another, if you have access to the opposing particle or pair in use, you will have access to the same information, instantaneously. All you would need is a "machine" that could read the states of the particles that made up the information. And this machine would consist of particles in the quantum: gluons, quarks, or muons, etc. I think i have thecprinciples right. But the details may need tweeking. It's been a few years for me.
@@jaymorf7374if that and the other things + price of course can be solved then it will replace classical ones because simply it would be the better option. Of course time will tell
@@norbertnagy5514no it will not because there are lots of problems quantum computers are physically and forever less optimised for and less capable in than regular classical computers.
Extraordinarily well presented, bar two points: 1. The biggest practical issue for most people, you and me, is mentioned very shortly - a quantum computer could break everyone's passwords in split seconds. That doesn't matter? Well, what about totalitarian states that have no regard for people or privacy? It's a matter of power and it could affect billions of people in combination with AI and other tech. 2. Quantum is "creation" - I expect religious reference from Iranian state TV, but maybe not here... :P
Your comment hits it right on with point 1. The US has proved during both Obamas and Bidens presidencies, that both have used and are using the Federal government to spy on Americans and with this type of tech, they could do even more harm. The FBI, DOJ and the CIA are being used as partisan cops to go after Democrat political rivals.

So yeah...while this is a step forward...it's a step to the side and back as well. As for religion...time has always been the gate keeper for that as well as most of things.

There's no way anyone is talking about quantim computing without including Michio KaKu. His book Quantum Supremcy is a fantistic read on the subject. Good on 60 Minutes for having him on.
About 40 years ago, Carl Sagan said, "We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster.” With A.I. and quantum computing, I sadly find myself in the increasing majority of people whose lives are, or will soon be governed by things I not only do not, but simply could not understand.
Welcome to hell. Because that is what it is going to be. In ways that we, indeed, do not understand. And will be very difficult, if impossible, to reverse.
I think the US population is amongst the worst in this condition. The public schools have been dumb down so badly its sad. I say that to say that the qoute is right about ppl not knowing what they use. It's been debated about disasters happening on earth and civilizations dying off and a restart happening. If anything ever happened and 10% of us were left....we back to sticks and stones 😂😂😂😂 bc we don't know how any of this 💩 works.
You're absolutely right. We'll all wind up in the same boat. Not even the brightest human will be anywhere close to comprehending the future. It's already begun.

I love seeing people who are giddy about their work. I believe that economy wont matter when quantum computers reaches efficient coherence. Humanity and our self-destructive behavior will be the focus.
Please don't fall for the hype presented in this video. Industry always overhypes to to crank up investments and partnerships. We are 15+ years away from real supremacy. If IBM tells you about 1k+ qubits, they are talking about useless noisy qubits. Only logical qubits are useful and nobody is close to scaling them. Even if the hardware would be ready, we still lack in useful algorithms and most are not faster in practice, because it takes way longer to load the data. The maze presented is misleading and it's not how a quantum computers calculate (You can't just choose the correct path). I am in the field and talked to plenty of excellent researchers and professors and they all agree that industry overhypes their progress to keep investors happy. I am not pessimistic, but rather realistic. Quantum comp is a great area of research and I am proud of everyone who pushed the technologies to this day!
What a perfectly worded response. Almost as if you used a quantum computer to put it together. 😂. But seriously, why cant we have a virtualization layer of sorts the same sort that allows ARM chips run x86 code?
why do you work so slow bro? just to make money and have a high paying job longer? I started to see most scientists as lazy entitled scammers in the last few years
You still hyped it more than it deserves. It's complete and total fiction and a complete waste of time research. It's basically a big scam for these "researchers" to make money.

The video is a bit sensational but it has a nice message of hopefulness. A computer that is millions of times faster than today's computers will still take time to compute things on the scale of billions and trillions, but at least humanity can begin to tackle those questions
It's not millions of times faster. It's not even billions of times faster. I just watched a Taiwanese news channel talking about the latest quantum computer from China. It did certain calculations 10 TRILLION times faster than the fastest supercomputer in the world today. That's 10 Trillion with a T. (PS. That news channel is no micky mouse channel. They regularly have very high level guests in the panel) _( Disclaimer : In case I mistranslated the number. Anyone who can speak better Chinese than myself can confirm if my translation is correct. The Chinese word used was 1億億. I translate that to 10 trillion)_
It's not so much that they are x-times faster. It's that the amount of information they can process grows exponentially. Basically, different growth curves.
In a nutshell, a normal bit is like a coin on the table, i.e., it can only take two definite values: either "heads" or "tails" at a time. On the other hand, a quantum bit is like a coin spinning on the table: It's at the same time a combination of "heads" and "tails", and it takes a definite value only when you interact with it.
This gives me goosebumps we must use computers of the future to solve problems of the future. If quantum computers can help solve cancer then we must figure this out! Too many die from this each year for us to not make a breakthrough here
Imagine the new multimodal and learning methods of AI juiced up by Quantum Computing. When those two things have progressed and merged I don’t think we can even imagine what is possible at that point. Things we couldn’t have imagined being reality. Exciting times, even if there’s inherent danger regarding AI becoming super intelligent, it’s still probably less dangerous than the warpimps that run society.
Coherence is actually not that difficult. I built a 70 qbit system out of an old freezer that is virtually error-free. The key is good topological insulation.
I am no scientist or physicist, so my opinion is very ignorant. However, this reminds me of a book I read many many years ago called Flatlands, which takes place in a 2-dimensional world. The main character is visited by a 3-dimensional being and it goes from there. It's like our computers are in the 2-dimensional world (Binary) and now they're moving to a 3-dimensional world. From a 2-dimensional perspective, the possibilities seem limitless.
All around us is quantum. The entire universe is a quantum computer. 60 minutes says quatum computing is a window to creation. However, currently there is world chaos. There is a great need for the world to see how quantum the universe is. Using an advanced quantum computer, or computers, we see a world that is not creation based but random/statistically based as quantum is based on all possibilities available. The main question I supposed is how these computers decide which probability could lead to a peaceful and stable universe.
@@marvinmartin4692 Quantum computers are designed to exploit Heisenbergs uncertainty principle. So, a bit can have both the values 0 and 1 at the same time. This is called "superposition". The trick is to use multiple of such quantum bits (qbits), and entangle them with each other, and then run them through some circuit that kind of filters the solutions with the highest "probability amplitude". That is one kind of quantum computers, and they have been proven useful on a very limited set of problems, i.e. factoring numbers and database search. However, it has proven problematic to scale up the number of bits, because of noise. At the moment the largest number that they can factor is 15 (=3*5). Yes, I kid you not! Then there is a different type of quantum computers, which use tunneling to traverse a landscape of a function to be optimized. These kind of quantum computers may be useful in the future, but they won't yield the dramatic speedup that the above type may achieve theoretically. Anyway, I advise anybody to not use their time and money for this pipe dream.

Caveat on the statement at 20s about them taking minutes to solve a problem other computers would take millions of years to solve... There are also problems that conventional computing algorithms can do in minutes that would take a quantum computing algorithm millions of years. Yes, quantum computing can solve whole classes of problems that have been intractable up until now by coming at them in such a drastically different way, but it also has whole classes of known problems that it is NOT suited for, for this same reason.
Yeah, this is something I have to explain when these things come up. Quantum computers are great for specific kinds of problems, but they aren't a replacement to "classic" computing. You're not going to be gaming on a quantum computer, or browsing Facebook, etc. These will exist in the realm of researchers and governments for a long time, solving specific problems.
@peacenow42 They gave you an example in this video: the capability to accurately predict the shape of a protein in any variety of scenarios. We just need to change the way we approach healthcare (ie: end private healthcare entirely) to benefit more greatly.
@peacenow42 There are many. Protein analysis thing they mentioned right near the beginning of this video is a good example... Just when it comes to medicine there are many potential applications like this. It also could have huge ramifications in engineering, chemistry, creating effective pharmaceuticals instead of just releasing whatever seems to work for one thing and hoping they don't need to be recalled because they do something else bad that couldn't be anticipated without a real ability to really understand and track everything they do to the point we can accurately simulate it, the list goes on.
And there are a vast number of problems that we don't even care to find the exact answer but are happy to do 0.001 percent of the effort to get an answer that is just good enough for our application. Quantum leaps in compute capacity does not necessarily lead to quantum leaps in usefulness. 😊
To prevent rampages, wars and poverty only solution is Basic Citizen Income that comes from AI works. This is only solution to avoid dystopian horror future.
That's not really what quantum computers are about. They can solve specific tasks, the labyrinth example in the video actually being a pretty good intuition. Do you have a problem that can be represented in such a "labyrinth" way of there being many possible solutions and the only way we currently have is to stupidly try them all? That is a problem candidate for a quantum computer. But most problems (at least the ones we have today) aren't like that and classical computers will remain the go to solution. The immediate impact by quantum computers will be an upheaval of cryptography due to them breaking certain algorithms that we rely on today. And by "rely" I really mean "rely". They guarantee almost all computational security in one way or another and without them the internet and much more would basically collapse. We're on track to get post-quantum replacements up and running, but it's still going to be sort of a "Y2K on steroids" to be sure.
12:03 I hope they will be able to expand the systems to millions of qubits, but just like they said at 06:57 they are making one error every 100 steps, which would make any complex calculations almost impossible to perform due to the limits of error correcting codes. So as far as I understand the topic, there actually is a problem that can hinder the research and that is to bring the error rate down to 1 in million steps, which is something no one knows how to do yet.
The biggest hurdle is keeping the superconductivity stable and uniform... with all currently known materials, that involves getting ones with just the right properties AND cooling them down to practically absolute zero, a state that is very hard to maintain. It is theoretically possible that some material might be discovered (or synthesized, possibly discovered by AI) that can be superconductive at higher temperatures. Failing that, other advances in technology should also keep making these near-zero temperatures ever easier and more reliable to maintain, either way the systems will be getting more and more stable.
As I understand it you can correct errors, but you need orders of magnitude more qubits then an error-free quantum circuit would require. So you need some combination of massively more qubits and much longer coherence times and much reduced error rates. IBM's 3x the number of qubits isn't going to get there.
@@TheEvolNemesisquantum computers need temperatures near absolute zero so the qubit circuit remains coherent, not for superconducting. The physics for one may help the other, but it's not guaranteed.
@@TheEvolNemesismaybe we could build the computer and send it into space? Would it be easier to keep it at the appropriate temperature? Maybe not due to sending it into space like a satellite.

Some years ago Michio Kaku didn't think there were any quantum computers in existence. He said something along the lines of, "a sneeze a block away would cause decoherance". I think it was in reference to D-Wave quantum computers or something. How quickly things change.
Regarding what the medical doctor mentioned about using a quantum computer, it certainly seems to me that one of the biggest problems in medicine is the human physiology is so complex that there is no one size fits all for every patient but that is what is done in the interest of efficiency and cost. There have been people, scientist who have cured their own cancer but it required a targeted medication made specifically for that one person. I would anticipate in the future and that when someone gets a disease instead of taking the next most promising drug, a new drug will be made specifically for that person.., imagine that?
Cure cancer..Where's the money in that ?.dream on!
I also predict that instead of eating 3 meals/ day you will be able to take a single Pill in the morning which will last you all day.
Maybe instead of patients having their own doctors with access to their medical records, patients will have their own medical quantum computer, or even one quantum computer for each family; since genetics plays a big role in the health and lifestyles of individuals.

Good point! For example, there is a ubiquitous reincarnation-like phenomenon dominating our lives, copying entire cities and even continents from one celestial body to the next (for example, the Plymouth of Winston Churchill to Pyongyang). Not many people will believe this, until now. Only when computers find it out on their own, perhaps, this aspect of reality will become a lot more famous. A machine would seem less prone to having an interest in lying.
They could break a lot.

It is really an irony that we once had analogue computers being capable of many of those things quantum computers are praised for today.
Wow. I’ve always been facinated by technology and when I was a kid, I used to wonder at what age would it begin to feel like technology seemed almost like magic to me, the same way my granparents expressed astonishment with technology, at 51 years old, I think it is now starting to feel like that to me. Its amazing how often I see a headline about some incredible new discovery that I often overlook now becuase I’ve become almost desensitized to them, when in the past they where more rare and jumped at every chance to explore them. What a previldge it is to live in this era to witness all this.
Sounds conceptually similar to how recent fMRI research show that the brain exhibits a coordinated , or coherent, wave of activity in certain regions with resonance in many circumstances; applause, music, etc. the folds of the brain can be seen as analogous to the waveguides used in these computers. Perhaps a large enough quantum calculation is consciousness. Fascinating.
This is a really well thought out point. Very interesting way to look at it.
We don’t even know how consciousness works, all current machine learning tech is just a probability machine mimicking patterns in data inputed by humans. We input labeled data and it outputs a baked cake with a black box inbetween. programmers have no ability to understand or access the recipe. all current “ai” hallucinates and outputs nonsense on occasion because it doesn’t understand anything at all it just mimics patterns. You can supercharge our current techniques by a trillion and you may get extremely powerful incomprehensibly flawed tools that can be used to complete complicated tasks but without utterly groundbreaking approaches theorized by humans they will be as conscious and intelligent as a hammer. Simply adding more compute doesn’t get us any closer to creating a consciousness.

It's no coincidence that quantum computing and Ai are coming at the same time. The advancements in science have enabled both possible.
Yeah, and the most effective AI paradigms we've found so far (neural nets built with genetic machine learning algorithms) seem like they lend themselves very well to quantum computing architecture. Training these AIs typically involves sifting through huge information spaces looking for best solutions, something quantum computing algorithms are well suited for.

@@brackzaff Also, space is still way too warm. Especially in the near solar system by earth's orbit where it averages around 50 degrees fahrenheit (about 10 c or about 287 kelvin) (really it's two temperatures, with a drastic swing depending on whether you're in direct sunlight or behind the earth, but it's never colder than about a hundred degrees kelvin). Absolute zero is COLD, and these things need to get ridiculously close in order to get the superconductive properties they need for the qubits to work.

But, for those who want to explore a whole new realm, the programming techniques within a quantum computer actually do use a different and fascinating concept of programming. Most users won't need to go down to that level, but those that choose to will find it a rewarding experience.)

This video makes it seem that quantum computers will replace classical ones, but that's not at all true. They will operate in different realms. There are things a classical computer can do and will always be able to do more efficiently than a quantum computer and vice versa.
Yeah we're always going to need classical computers. If nothing than the simple reason that we are classical beings.
I think you need to watch the video again. When we think in terms of binary code, it doesn't matter what you write the program in: C++, Python, Assembly Language ... all the data is essentially 1's and 0's. So every 'word' or 'command' that you see in binary is some combination of one's and zero's. In eight bit it will be a total of eight 1's & 0's in various sequences that make up a "word". So in 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit or 128 bit, you either have 16, 32, 64, or 128 ones and zeros in various combinations that make up a single byte or "word" of data. But if you use the same processor to do work on larger and larger chunks of data the thorough put or processing speed becomes what slows everything down. So quantum computing uses 'states' or relative positions of electrons instead of 1's and 0's which means a bunch more information. Also there is a phenomenon in particle physics where if you take a particle or a constituent of an electron (I think) and take another particle from the same electron, they will always be in opposite states. Ie. If you change the spin or 'position' of one pair, the other will always be the polar opposite state. And this is true INDEPENDENT of distances between the particles. If there is a change to one positron, the other on another planet will reflect the change in opposite "spin" or state. Thus, regardless of distances, from one end of the galaxy to another, if you have access to the opposing particle or pair in use, you will have access to the same information, instantaneously. All you would need is a "machine" that could read the states of the particles that made up the information. And this machine would consist of particles in the quantum: gluons, quarks, or muons, etc. I think i have thecprinciples right. But the details may need tweeking. It's been a few years for me.

How do they over come Heisenbergs uncertainty principle? Or quantum tunneling? I just can’t get beyond the uncertainty of the particle.
Yep, completely agreed!
@@marvinmartin4692 Quantum computers are designed to exploit Heisenbergs uncertainty principle. So, a bit can have both the values 0 and 1 at the same time. This is called "superposition". The trick is to use multiple of such quantum bits (qbits), and entangle them with each other, and then run them through some circuit that kind of filters the solutions with the highest "probability amplitude". That is one kind of quantum computers, and they have been proven useful on a very limited set of problems, i.e. factoring numbers and database search. However, it has proven problematic to scale up the number of bits, because of noise. At the moment the largest number that they can factor is 15 (=3*5). Yes, I kid you not!
Then there is a different type of quantum computers, which use tunneling to traverse a landscape of a function to be optimized. These kind of quantum computers may be useful in the future, but they won't yield the dramatic speedup that the above type may achieve theoretically.

Yes, quantum computing can solve whole classes of problems that have been intractable up until now by coming at them in such a drastically different way, but it also has whole classes of known problems that it is NOT suited for, for this same reason.
Yeah, this is something I have to explain when these things come up. Quantum computers are great for specific kinds of problems, but they aren't a replacement to "classic" computing. You're not going to be gaming on a quantum computer, or browsing Facebook, etc. These will exist in the realm of researchers and governments for a long time, solving specific problems.
@peacenow42 They gave you an example in this video: the capability to accurately predict the shape of a protein in any variety of scenarios.
We just need to change the way we approach healthcare (ie: end private healthcare entirely) to benefit more greatly.
@peacenow42 There are many. Protein analysis thing they mentioned right near the beginning of this video is a good example... Just when it comes to medicine there are many potential applications like this. It also could have huge ramifications in engineering, chemistry, creating effective pharmaceuticals instead of just releasing whatever seems to work for one thing and hoping they don't need to be recalled because they do something else bad that couldn't be anticipated without a real ability to really understand and track everything they do to the point we can accurately simulate it, the list goes on.
And there are a vast number of problems that we don't even care to find the exact answer but are happy to do 0.001 percent of the effort to get an answer that is just good enough for our application. Quantum leaps in compute capacity does not necessarily lead to quantum leaps in usefulness. 😊
False.
Once quantum computers and renewable energy become economically viable, I think we don't need to do laborious tasks anymore
Fusion passing q1.5 and AI too
I think in less than 20 years there will be no jobs. It will all be AI.
To prevent rampages, wars and poverty only solution is Basic Citizen Income that comes from AI works. This is only solution to avoid dystopian horror future.
Correct, humans will be obsolete
That's not really what quantum computers are about. They can solve specific tasks, the labyrinth example in the video actually being a pretty good intuition. Do you have a problem that can be represented in such a "labyrinth" way of there being many possible solutions and the only way we currently have is to stupidly try them all? That is a problem candidate for a quantum computer. But most problems (at least the ones we have today) aren't like that and classical computers will remain the go to solution.
The immediate impact by quantum computers will be an upheaval of cryptography due to them breaking certain algorithms that we rely on today. And by "rely" I really mean "rely". They guarantee almost all computational security in one way or another and without them the internet and much more would basically collapse. We're on track to get post-quantum replacements up and running, but it's still going to be sort of a "Y2K on steroids" to be sure.
We've done all of this in the last 50 years or so. Now imagine the technology of a civilization a million times more advanced than us.
It sounds highly likely that discoveries made with these quantum computers will transform society for sure
@@user-we5cv4iu5m no you're wrong that's not at all how this is going down
Quantum computing is dumb myth based on a dumber myth called "quantum mechanics."
I'm sure it will....just as the computer itself has.
@@ThePallidor and you have a RUclips degree don't you?
12:03 I hope they will be able to expand the systems to millions of qubits, but just like they said at 06:57 they are making one error every 100 steps, which would make any complex calculations almost impossible to perform due to the limits of error correcting codes. So as far as I understand the topic, there actually is a problem that can hinder the research and that is to bring the error rate down to 1 in million steps, which is something no one knows how to do yet.
The biggest hurdle is keeping the superconductivity stable and uniform... with all currently known materials, that involves getting ones with just the right properties AND cooling them down to practically absolute zero, a state that is very hard to maintain. It is theoretically possible that some material might be discovered (or synthesized, possibly discovered by AI) that can be superconductive at higher temperatures. Failing that, other advances in technology should also keep making these near-zero temperatures ever easier and more reliable to maintain, either way the systems will be getting more and more stable.
As I understand it you can correct errors, but you need orders of magnitude more qubits then an error-free quantum circuit would require. So you need some combination of massively more qubits and much longer coherence times and much reduced error rates. IBM's 3x the number of qubits isn't going to get there.
@@TheEvolNemesisquantum computers need temperatures near absolute zero so the qubit circuit remains coherent, not for superconducting. The physics for one may help the other, but it's not guaranteed.
Why not set a small computer to the task of managing temperature and coherence, rather than allowing feedback to make internal corrections?
@@TheEvolNemesismaybe we could build the computer and send it into space? Would it be easier to keep it at the appropriate temperature?
Maybe not due to sending it into space like a satellite.
Count down to when we destroy ourselves.
Imagine these large quantum computers will fit inside your pockets in less than 100* years.😅
*Assuming no catastrophic world war happens.
We’re lucky if we see another 10 years
I don't want anything at absolute zero in my pocket! Imagine the inney that would give you!
Anything we hear about, they have already explored, tested, developed, and implemented 40 yrs ago.
Not
As humans we have not conquered our basic flaws. Quantum computers will be our end.
Good stuff. Add that to AI developments and we'll all be out of jobs in no time at all.
Yay! We all get to live in San Francisco. In a tent on the sidewalk.

But it can't compute wisdom or conquer greed.
Yes, yes it can.
That's because wisdom and greed cannot be controlled or programmed like a robot. If you remove free will from all life forms and turn ever living organism into controlled robots then one can create their fake illusion of a perfect world.

Kaku is a media physicist . Get a real physicist like Penrose.
He’s a theoretical physicist. Just because he spends time in the media to talk to a layman audience, doesn’t mean he doesn’t work in physics or that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

And the term “real physicist” is subjective.
Instead of focusing on ad hominems you should be more objective
