Quantum Computing 2023 Update

Quantum computing developments over the past 12 months, including reports of progress at IBM, Google, Intel, Microsoft and Atom Computing.

My 2022 Update, with a big focus on the IBM Roadmap, is here:

And my 2021 Update, with details of photonic quantum computing, is here:

When you have a problem with a quantum computer, tech support will tell you to turn it off and on at the same time.

[Chris.Wiley.]

I like these sorts of updates; they feel fundamentally optimistic about the future.

[brentoneccles]

I love these category of videos. It's as though you were sitting in a lecture and you know a lot of the content, but now the lecturer has turned to a less discussed topic and now that rather than the caffeine is keeping you awake.

[cupchanger]

Thank you Chris! Your channel is the best source for understanding cutting edge computer technology. Keep up the good work!

[stoyantsalev]

Dude is a natural educator... and we desperately need more science, more reason in our lives. People like Mr. Barnatt here bring value way beyond a few entertaining youtube videos.

[johncundiff]

I wish I had the understanding that you do regarding this brave yet strange new future! I have read many of the other comments, and I believe I agree with many that say "I worry about misuse of this technology". Thank you for always trying to expand our minds. You are an excellent teacher! Thanks Mr. Barnatt!

[navneeth]

I just remembered watching your last year's update and searched if you released one and here it is released just 6 hours ago! Thank you 😊

[daveseddon]

Cheers, Chris!
Always informative and enjoyable! 🙂

[Leahi]

I love your optimism. Its really refreshing when everything feels depressing and hopeless with regard to the future.

[alexlandherr]

I like the emphasis used here; especially since when some outlets mention this subject they neglected that certain tasks run on these machines are problems optimal for them and not conventional computers.

[PS_Tube]

Greetings.
This bite sized video is excellent update of vast array of activities in QC field. And it's quite fascinating to witness how rapidly the innovations are taking place.

[HoldandModify]

I never really understood any of this until this video. Thank you.

[michaelryding]

This was just so good, thank you very much for continuing this series. The emphasis on advances in chemistry informing material science make so much sense. Your closing summary of the seperation of digital and quantum using an example of a future mobile phone and battery was inspired and for me an unlocking moment. Great work.

[judsonleach]

You "Had Me" @ Quantum Computing, Sir! - Nice One !! 🙂
Cheers! - Judson & Buddy! - Have a Great Weekend, Everyone!

[johnbee]

Truly amazing stuff. Things are really starting to move in the field. An update I always look forward to.

[Ti-JAC]

Thank you for the segment. Very informative. 👍

[isrcast]

Thank you for putting in the time and effort to create videos like this!

[neilphilip]

Very thought provoking! I hope I'm still alive to see a major step forward in the time taken to run, for example, wave-equation based systems like weather forecasting and seismology. Quite often we can't do stochastic simulations in seismology because the time taken to run one or two models is so expensive. To imagine one of these runs taking seconds rather than weeks or even months is mouth watering. This is the most informative source I've found for the future of computing so please keep them coming.

[chriholt]

I have always enjoyed your Quantum Computing updates. I'm especially glad that you pointed out that quantum computing is not a new technology to solve old problems.

[davidglenn]

Another interesting video, thank you. This is no longer a sci-fi topic, but a realistic sci-fact possibility. Exciting developments afoot.
