The most surprising, overwhelming and uneblievable thing in this video is "presented by Nokia".

[rendermanpro]

Sponsored by Nokia. I would like Nokia unbreakable quantum computer

The producers need to decide if they want to focus on slowly walking Hannah or on the Quantum stuff.

This is very misleading, post-quantum cryptography (ie quantum-safe) has been around for a while and even has new standards based around it. To say quantum computing breaks all encryption is just incredibly ignorant or misleading.

Quantum Computing will change humanity.
Hopefully, humanity will evolve enough to use the technology positively.
Sadly humanity's track record isn't great.

[e-readers]

Great produciton, feels like a movie almost.

3:48 Why does everyone keep repeating this maze lie?
It can only tell you if some types lf mazes, for example welded trees, have an exist or not. For the example of welded trees quantum computers do have an exponential advantage however they cant recover a route from start to finish!

Moreover if quantum computers could have done this for EVERY maze, then they would have been able to solve succinct s-t connectivity which is a PSPACE-Complete problem!!!

[homewall]

Lots of "could" in this faith-based wish for quantum computing power being especially useful with all this massive parallelism. When will it become "can" and "does"?

[whf_frosty]

Do you collaborate with Chinese companies?no… Go on🤨
That had me laughing 🤣 like yo😂

[Coopstans]

i wonder what sabine hossenfelder has to say about this

[arkatub]

2:45 Only if you program it this way, if you look at veritasium's maze robot video you will see better methods, but I'm following the logic... 3:40 This makes no sense, calculating all paths would mean many results, you would still need to determine which path is correct (with a classical function), can anyone here explain the logic of this to me?

[Gallard-]

8:35 Do you collaborate with Chinese companies as well?
- Nope
- Ohh... Go on 🧐

Hahahahaha

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.

Get past the alarmist sensationalism... quantum computers already exist - you were standing in front of one! They're currently in the very early stages, and thus super expensive, and relatively primitive. UNIVAC was no different. I expect it will be a decade or more before they're to the scale of "supercomputer rarity", but still rather limited in power. It'll be many decades before we'll have "quantum laptops." Our technology will evolve to adapt to the quantum era, just as we've changed how we do things as computers became more popular and available, and the power of those computers increased. (eg. nobody uses DES anymore, MD5 is effectively useless and SHA1 isn't very far behind.) People have already worked out "quantum safe" crypto - at least in theory...

9:55 "China has invested $15 billion, more than any other country". But the IBM guy just said that they alone have invested $7 billion, so perhaps this only counts state funds?

[HughJanus-oe]

10:08 I’m sure the Chinese Patents are worthless given how Chinese culture views IP

[thegiggler]

At first I thought they were walking up to a really cool, imposing elevator. Should have named it Otis

[codyeasonBGR]

That's so amazing its mind blowing 2033 that's so close

[josephl]

If it was that 'easy', TSMC would've mastered a working model. It's at least 20 years away for a consumer model.

On the questions of “if quantum computation does success” MIT’s Seth Lloyd notes currently you have to say “It’s not clear it’s going to” yt /-1PsQIciMEc 40:11
