A quantum computer works in a totally different way from a classical computer. Quantum bits or ‘qubits’ can exist in a superposition state of both zero and one simultaneously. This means that a set of two qubits can be in a superposition of four states, which therefore require four numbers to uniquely identify the state. So the amount of information stored in N qubits is two to the power of N classical bits.

  1. only thing I can see quantum computing being handy for is as an addon to regular computers to act as a random number generator, as that is very tricky to actually produce normally and get truly random results. but then, why not get something that you can shake with odd angles and read the results… make it small, or instead of shake.. come on follow the thoughts lol

  2. I still don't understand how on earth one would use this or the specific types of calculations it might be good for but its good to hear its not a replacement for classical computers because I do understand how they work

  3. If we achieve quantum computing by doubling binaries, wouldn't it work exponentially?
    I mean if a qubit is 1 and 0 at the same time, what happened if 1 and 0 and 1 and 0 at the same time ….

    (sorry I was smoking weed)

  4. I'm lost if the quantum computer does not measure the qbits when they are in superposition state how is the computer making use of this supposition state 😞 it must be taking account of it some how for the final answer to be calculated so much faster for certain calculations compared to a traditional digital or super computer to be so much faster? So you have three transistors with 3 electrons , so in quantum theory this is 8 Qbits 8 states not just three bits as a normal digital computers. So how does the quantum computer use these 8 different states to make calculations if it is impossible to measure them in a superposition state. Is this not just a 3 bit digital computer. The guy did not explain this?

  5. With 300 qubits..that are fully entangled..their superpositions or current locations can be as varied as the number of particles contained in the universe? Quantum computers were designed then in an attempt to foresee the future..thats what I've gathered from the video..they want to predict the future and the implications of what this means are huge and horrible…my basis for saying this is that that man was hinting that quantum computers are best for graphs and models of things with many variables rather than streaming a video..it creates graphs and models and rakes in many variables to predict with a hopeful certainty of the owner of the equipment ,the future.

  6. Great explanation. The only and man questions how to compute using this alpha beta gama propability numbers in front of state and how to prepare correct state with required probability. I think it is still impossible. I did not find any good explanations who made it.

  7. Wow I can say I kind of get Quantum Computing now. This guy is truly smart, the smartest people can explain stuff in a way were people who maybe aren't as smart as them can kind of get it and think. Hey, this is pretty cool.

  8. Watching this while Google's brand new Willow Quantum chip is full-on buzzing around 🥲👌🏻

    Here's to a new future into quantum computing & parallel universe possibilities! 🥂
