Quantum Computers Explained – Limits of Human Technology

Where are the limits of human technology? And can we somehow avoid them? This is where quantum computers become very interesting.

[LiterallySoup]

My brain is currently in a superposition of somewhat understanding this and being completely melted at the same time

[soulplexis]

i've learned everything and nothing at the same time - superknowledge.

[Moridorable]

My computer has the power of trillions of primary school students being forced to perform maths.

[yellowbanana]

I usually watch your videos to learn about new concepts and ideas in fields completely unrelated to what I do, so this is the first time I actually watched a topic on something related to my field of study and work (Computer Engineering).
And it has been such a great experience to see how elegantly you guys approached some of the concepts I've been trying to explain family and friends many times (because the question "so what exactly do you do?" or "how do computers actually work?" naturally pop). This gave me a very unique perspective on how much "simplification" is actually done on the subject to fit in a video, and how accurately and brilliantly the essence of the topic is captured.
I already had a great level of respect for all the hard work that's being put in these videos, but it just went to the next level. Thanks for all the awesome work in educating the world.

[bananaflavoredmilk]

Computer : yes, no

Quantum computer: *PERHAPS*

[aiGuyReal]

Normal computer: Yes.
Other normal computer: No
Quantum computer: Well Yes, but actually No

[ifeoluwaadeoye]

Observer: so, Qubit, what would you like to be: 0 or 1?
Qubit: Yes

[sidkbsri]

I first watched this video several years ago when I was in high school fascinated with the subject of quantum computing. Currently, I have been doing research over the past year pertaining to quantum mechanics and computing at UT Austin. I come back to this video every so often to see how my understanding of the topics mentioned has evolved over time.

"Right now, we don't know if quantum computers will be just a specialized tool, or a big revolution for humanity"

Its quantum, it's gonna be both things at once.

[hisokamorrow]

Normal computer: Yes
Other normal computers: No
Quantum Computers: Yesn’t

[PhilTruthborne]

This makes me so nostalgic. To see how far we have come, yet to see how you both always had this level of quality as well as managed to maintain it for so long~

[abdulwalli]

My IQ while watching the video is increasing and decreasing at the same time so my IQ is in a superpositioned state

[coleman]

I have no clue what hes saying, but for some reason I feel smart

[Dude_Virus]

Well.. to sum it up my brain suffered a quantum stroke.

[gistiri]

It's so amazing seeing how much your animations improved over the years. It's just incredible.

[joachimlavandes]

Even though I studied Quantum physic and also IT as a major, during my last years at university, this one is the hardest episode of all for me. And I cannot even have help from my parents, who are IT teachers.
But I WILL understand it.
Or not, at the same time.

[thatotherandrew_]

*"I used the quantum physics to simulate the quantum physics."*

[BrushEm]

Me: *Observes quantum computers so they stop working*

[Lijericosas]

this is beyond amazing :o.... the impact is unmeasurable I'm happy to be alive at this time. Thank you Kurzgesagt I felt this video like someone telling the good news!
