Quantum Computers, Explained With Quantum Physics

Quantum computers aren’t the next generation of supercomputers—they’re something else entirely. Before we can even begin to talk about their potential applications, we need to understand the fundamental physics that drives the theory of quantum computing. (Featuring Scott Aaronson, John Preskill, and Dorit Aharonov.)

Finally, someone was able to break down quantum computing into something more easily understood such as quantum physics.

Actually, it was not Feynmann but his colleague, junior and friend Edward Fredkin. It was Fredkin who explain the language of the computer to Feymann and in return, Feymann helped him understand Physics. Fredkin wrote the very first reversible algorithm, and it was his idea to build a quantum computer. He even went further and wrote about the simulation theory of the universe.

For anyone interested in learning more about quantum computer programs (ideally familiar with Linear Algebra first), IBM has a number of guides to quantum computing, a program simulator, and online access to a real quantum computer--all free.

You can literally run programs on a quantum computer in New York from your home. Or Antarctica (yes, someone actually does this from Antarctica).

Thought I'd spread the word a bit. Have fun!

Quantum physicist walks into a bar. Bartender says, "Weren't you here tomorrow?"
Quantum physicist says, "No, but I'll be back yesterday."

This channel is so underrated. It's one of the few channels I have the bell on.

1:44 That is simply the most beautiful handwriting I've ever seen. (And/or an average font)

I don't exactly know how I got into the "Quantum" rabbit hole, but it's a really fascinating one! I'll admit, I don't understand all of what is covered; I'm probably going to have to watch this multiple times for it to make sense. But this is really fascinating and exciting to see unfold. This must be how those of my grandparent's generation felt when desktop computers were becoming more commonplace!

Kudos to the motion graphics editor in this video. They really aided comprehension here.

[alsojuja]

Thank you! This is the first explanation of quantum computing I've seen that goes to this level of depth but is still understandable by the layman who knows a little bit about quantum physics. Most sources just say "superposition, voila."

[michaelleitner]

Keep up the great work scientists! I don't know much about physics, but I'm proud that there are good people keeping us moving forward.

I think this high quality content with zero hype will be very motivating for people that want to study this topic properly. Thanks! 👏

[basisTermium]

That quantum computation animation thing was really great. I wish you could made more about it

[BlueSquad]

been watching documentries on quantum theories since i was eight but have to watch this a few more times to fully take it in

"it is not unreasonable to imagine that information sits at the core of physics, just as it sits at the core of a computer"
—John Archibald Wheeler (1911-2008)

I have heard some of this before, but the standard explanation with "qubits store all the values from 0-1" or "do all the computations at once is the simplistic explanation that is repeated so often that the only thing I can really remember is "that is not how it actually works". I hope this video and the article on the website is something that will help me remind of more details.

Best video I've seen so far explaining what quantum computing is. Most try to simplify using confusing analogies.

[topfeedcoco]

This is the BEST explanation I've seen in almost 2 decades of just HOW a quantum computer actually works. I've understood the concept, but for the laymen this is the most useful breakdown I've seen, and in just under 10 minutes, well done sirs.

[rajnirani]

The content on this channel is always good and simplified.

[cinegraphics]

This is the best explanation of quantum computers I've seen so far. And I've seen a lot of them.

[userou-igze]

amazing. It should be twice as long! I crave more high quality quanta videos!!
