$1, 330, 000 USD With 1 qubit generally being worth 10k

[fredashay]

In 20 years, you'll be able to buy one on Amazon for $200...

[jihedmedini]

50 years later: this is how big was the quantum computer

[sbabalwemchasa]

Considering NOKIA was involved, the floor would've CRACKED if she'd dropped that chip! 😌

[markarca]

"Don't drop it."
Linus: 😮

Since they didn't explain what the "gold shiny thing" is; it's a cryochamber that keeps temperatures super cold which is the cooling required to run the quantum computer.

[TheSageCommander]

It's also great for making moonshine

Dr Hannah Fry is the best! Her Numberphile videos were always some of my favorites!

[otiinuk]

Im getting a real "The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand" vibe 😅

[MasAlaMode]

The gold thing is the equivalent of a pc fan. The chip needs to be at absolute 0 temperature

[untaintedwheelchair]

"How much is that worth?" Then proceeds to touch it without gloves or situational awareness.

[GREGGRCO]

Well, guess WPA2 is out the door. Lol.

[Rondoooo]

The shiny materials are just for marketing purposes.

[dasimmyr]

Watched the whole feature..

AWESOME ❤😊
Thank you🎉🎉

[haripoudel]

Ibm been making tools for future since 1911, working at the cutting-edge, awsome people. Go IBM 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The SQUID chip is small. But the cryogenic equiment is large. Quantum computer needs low temperature for superconducting to work. Unless we discover room temperature superconducting, the device will remain large.

[martinlilik]

I dont know why i am more interested in quantum computer after i watched this video 😊

[NewStreamLine]

%he weird thing is that I have never heard about any calculation they did on such computers.

Aaah, they didn't, right?

[jacklastimosa]

133 qubits? How many terrabits is that?

[wotreplays]

Wow...what can you do with it? We don't know yet....hopefully will find out in the next 500 years 😅😅😅😅
