You might like Bohm & Penrose's conception of the quantum mind though as it takes your joke and applies it as a hypothetical explanation for consciousness.

making an assembler or heck even a programming language would probably be brainfucking, since you have to start all over from the ground, atleast thats what i think
It's not about a specific style , but about a quality style. A talking character like that is so boring, and the animation made the video less interesting , I've seen most of Ted videos , this is not the quality style of them.
first video who actually explained what a qubit is and properly said what is a superposition, and not the popular hand waving "is 1 and 0 at the same time!" who doesn't make sense and make it worse to understand
With this video I learned that the quantum computer can have certain advantages over the classic computer due to its features and composition but at this moment it is still necessary to work for this type of computer to reach its expected level, I learned how ions can be quite useful but for other side it can be difficult to mantain its accuracy, with the circuits is easier to obtain greater accuracy but it has a shorter lifespan, with all this I learned that there are several ways to do something because each thing has to I found the idea of the video quite interesting and for that reason I liked watching it.

This is the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. Basically, Superconducting Circuits are like Intel CPUs, where they have faster IPCs than Trapped Ions right now, but will run into the limit of architecture. Meanwhile Trapped Ions are like AMD CPUs before Ryzen came out, where they lose to Superconducting Circuits IPC-wise, but can theoretically make up for it by continuously adding more and more cores aka Ion Traps.
"But in spite of all these obstacles, we've already succeeded at making computations in a realm we can't enter or even observe." That was as inspired as it was poetic.
Super well done on this video! As a former ion trap quantum computing scientist this is the first video that I've seen that makes sense of the field without getting so complex it's incomprehensible. Also, Ions rule, JJs drool (but I'm a little biased on that, hehe)
This vastly undersells the differences between quantum and classical computing. It makes it sound like all we'd need to do with classical computers is add a few more bits.
I find this interesting for two reason : 1.) what would happen if I use a quantum computer as a gaming computer? 2.) Time to dive into the dark web, or was is the deep web? Let’s just do both
to those who dont get it. quantum states are infinite. so when you superposition 2 qbits they can run all combination specified by 2 bits. since total combination of 2 is limited more needs to be superpositioned. so they all process given parameter in parallel instantly. The challenge however is superposition more qbits is hard due to many disturbances in atmosphere.

Hey ted-Ed, awesome video! I’m really into philosophy and I was wondering if you could make “Why should you read?” Episodes on Thus spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche and The stranger by Albert Camus. Most people at my school don’t know much about philosophy and I want to share my passion of philosophy with them. I think your videos could explain philosophy for them and open their eyes to the beauty of philosophy! (Going into 8th grade this fall). Hopefully you consider my ideas! Thanks!
Explain how they make actual calculations and the mathematics needed to get an answer. It would be nice to have a video which explained the statistical methods. Thanks...................................
You should do a video on Australian Rules Football (AFL) it's Australia's national sport and we're crazy about it over here but its almost unheard of overseas. The AFL Grand Final is the highest attended club championship event in the world including the super bowl and the players can run upwards of 20kms per game compared to soccer player's 13km. The game is fascinating and unlike any other sport around the world and it's so crazy that its such an institution in Australia but even American sports fanatics have rarely heard of it. Check out the video called "What is AFL? Aussie Rules Explained"
Had to repeat this 4 times to grasp the basic concept put forth in this video. I shudder to even think what the full scientific explanation would look like.
Imagine the time when our computers now would be called "classical computers" as being looked as a vintage and a normal laptop or smartphone is a quantum computer..
The question is, why not make new chips that instead of having only two bit states ( 1 and 0 ), they would have for example 10 bit states ( 0,1,2... ). Wouldnt that increase performance tenfold ?
Current computers work using two states on and off - the on state being the 1 and the off state being 0 so other than quantum computing we have no way of increasing the number of states
As much as i understood the Q-Bit, the explaination is reasonable simplified, but make the quantum-mechanics really complicated and obscure to understand, if you want to dig deeper. Maybe i'm writing complete sh*t, but i'd explain it this way: A Q-Bit has 3-axis which can be positioned with the Nort-Pole (Electromagnetic field like the earth has) up or down. The Super-Position describes, when the Q-Bit is somewhere between these points. Because it's not a finite number, the North-pole can be 2/3 to the top, so basicly be 66,6666666666-> % Upwards showing. Tecnically in both the x-y Axis and the x-z Axis, but we can only measure the polarity on up or downside. The interesting part, since the position of the axis is somewhere between 1 and 0 (up or down showing), and you can make an infinitely-small fractal of the number "1", you can basicly calculate with an *potential of infinite-accuracy* (depending on the accuracy on the input data) The problem: we can only point the QBits accurately up or down (absolute values) or use some (really complicated) operations to make them point as a bigger fractal. so inputing Data is limited to an *finite* amount of accuracy. The calcucation however can be done with infinite accuracy since the QBits interact by quantum-mechanically linking them together. (Basicly Physics calculate a 3D-Value, with *as-fast-as-possible* speed). Problem two: Reading the values, since our measurements can only tell if a QBit is with it's northpole upwards or downwards. (QBits are really tiny after all), so a QBit 2/3 upwards, will be read 2/3 of the time (or 66,666 %) as a *true* and 1/3 of the time as *false* ... So you basicly recalculate your programm so often, you get by statistics the position of the QBit (as many itterations, the more accurate your reading). So the Supoer-Position is basicly only a state, which we can't create (only fith a finite amount of accuracy, which defeats the purpose), and we can only read one Value, which Statistically Chances is the only way to tell us, the actual value *approximately*! *TL;DR* The Super-Position is the State in which a Value is stored with an infinite amount of Accuracy, which we can't create by our own, since tecnology can only calculate with finite numbers.
The quantum processing unit shown in the video is just one of the ways of manipulating the qubits. There are more feasible solutions for making a large scale QPU. Most of the solutions are using microwaves to control the spin of qubits. Making more smaller traps may work now, but the future we might have a QPU with hundreds of thousands of qubits on a single chip just like the classical ones.
The main thing I'm hearing is that it will be very hard to make quantum personal computers. In other words, successful implementation of quantum computing will mean a massive, irreversible shift back to Motherboard-Terminal computing structure. Which means that classic, bit based systems that only need a cpu and power will be the computers of choice for rebels who fight against their technocratic corporate overlords. I'm not sure if this is the coolest thing ever, or the bleakest.
This video has nothing to do with the "high stakes" of quantum computing. Presumably, such a video would discuss the ramifications for a society who have access to such advanced technology. Nor is there any mention of the supposed "race" to achieve this advanced technology or the major players involved in this race. It's an explanation of quantum computing. Why not title the video as such?
