Quantum computing demystified | Ilyas Khan | TEDxCityUniversityLondon

Using his extensive experience in Quantum Computing, Ilyas takes us on a personal journey of demystifying quantum computing and simplifies it in order to inspire the future generation on the limitless possibilities within it. Prior to establishing CQC (world's leading independent quantum algorithm developer with a strong focus on AI), Ilyas was the founding partner in Accelerate Cambridge, the University of Cambridge Judge Business school's highly successful accelerator programme where he is also the Leader in Residence.

This did not "demystify" quantum computers at all, quite the opposite. The only talk that made sense at all to me was when they use MWI, whether it is right or not I don't know, but it makes sense. It at least expl;ains how quantum particles can perform virtually infinite calculations all at once so...

Astonishing and beautifully connected talk! **Double superlatives warranted**

[algonte]

I bet for Quantum Computing but with less unbounded optimism, in order to achieve exponential speed-up you have to interconnect qubits and full interconnection has exponential complexity so it is imposible to "engineer"

QUMPUTER - From now on, let's call them QUMPUTERS. Much better than the tongue twister 'Quantum Computers'!

[ialwaysrock]

How did you become IBM's partner in Quantum Computing...?

[bernsbuenaobra]

No single equation from a Math guy for explaining the workings of Quantum Computer? I like an experimental physicist explaining this better. The audience looks so lost better just write 2^n is the computational power of quantum computer - doubling each time for each qubit.

What a rubbish presentation!

This is worse than a teenager’s book report read in front of the class from the kid who didn’t read the book and scanned a couple of pages minutes before the teacher called his name.

[Appleblade]

There was utterly no demystifying done in this talk.

[AgqGHyA]

While you talk about Qbits IBM plays music with their Quantum Computer.

[qualquan]

not explanatory
just name dropping, clichés and generalities

[yangxf_nucyang]

anybody about quantum computing tell the same things how magic it is but no any solid understanding about the topic. all is boasting！

[caoyudong]

@14:52 I thought he said "joke delivery". And the crowd remains silent...

[wikiiqubal]

Very interesting talk about quantum computing..

[wtfhowbizarre]

could.quantum computing lead to sentient AI in the future?

[PedroGonzalez-evjg]

Muchos años en el mayor secreto siempre acompañado por aviones y helicópteros cuando salía solo Dios y los extraterrestre lo saben sólo le pedía a Dios la verdad y medio la respuesta excelente video gracias Pedro x desde Miami

You have children wife family other human don't have children family

[mrdave]

This guy really believe atoms are real. What a story.

[lesliethelwall]

Oh dear! What a dreadful talk. Get to the point and do some demystifying!

[akhileshkjha]

Stick to your topic, Mr. Khan. Your presentation is a con job. Shame

[theoschijf]

Bad bad talk. Big scare call on investors to invest in his and other QC companies. Quantum Mechanics are extremely interesting and the search for the QC will no doubt give us some break through findings (like the quest for the moon did) but will not end up with anything like a computer. Playing the quantum will be more like a chemical process than like a logical process. No encryption will be broken. The bitcoin does not need a QC to be broken, it is broken by design, when people get wise, it is gone. So, do invest in this company please, do not expect to get to the moon though.
