A quantum internet? Yeah I’d probably pay for it #stem

[Mzerron]

I admit it. I do not understand qubits, but the hope for higher capacity high-speed internet is definitely fascinating.

[cloudlessx]

I like your other videos. But for this subject, I feel like you should do more research.

[heartysquid]

That's a nice fiber optic you got there...would be a shame if someone were to...chomp on it.

As a computer scientist, Quantum Computing is something I still don't have a good grasp of, BUT I do immediately see an issue with the "If an attacker tries to intercept the data they would damage it" part of this, Because then HOW is the actual person who's supposed to receive the data actually receive it without themselves damaging it? That characteristic kinda defeats the entire point of data transfer in the first place, No? (The receiver should be irrelevant whether it's the intended person or not), UNLESS the destination is somehow hard-coded to the data being transferred so that it works properly Host-To-Destination but would fail if intercepted (And in that case the attack vector just changes from Intercepting data in the middle to changing the hardcoded destination of the information to an attacker instead, which sounds an awful like a legacy Man in the middle attack).

ISP's won't give us quantum internet even if it exists. we've got over 1 TB internet possible but ISP's won't let some areas have speeds over 50 Mbps

[triad]

Well considering a scientist found that we could use the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum to send more data it should be sooner but won't happen

[JasonBunce-dunf]

Quantum Internet would be even faster than she makes it sound using quantum entanglement a ping (that's in my lame terminology) on one particle would happen to the receiving particle at the same time if not before the ping. I know it might sound stupid but to my understanding that's how it works.

[johngoodman]

Why would this make sense? People just shout "quantum" for views?

[burstvgc]

The first public quantum network in the world was unveiled at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign last year. It seems the current technical limit to the distance traveled is about 10 miles, given the technology they used to build this. I've heard talks from the professors behind it and know some of the people behind it pretty well.

My internet is still copper, I'm sure they'll get around to installing basic fiber once the government releases quantom hardware. 😊

[qualityshloimy]

'Quantum internet' is just a small word salad. Putting the word quantum in front of something doesn't make it better or faster. Your qubits still need to be transmitted somehow. A qubit is just a piece of information, kinda like binary only more trinary lol. We currently send packets of bits encoded in pulses of light, you can send packets of qubits instead but it won't be faster, it'll just encrypt and decrypt faster on your end and the destination. The connection remains the same.

[MeekTubing]

Qubits don’t necessarily store more information. They have the ability to mimic quantum data and are thus better for quantum problems in physics. I don’t think they inherently have more ability to store more data. You still need ram of some sort to store this information and are limited by that hardwares maximum data size. I think it’s meant to be used for very specific tough physics problems and aren’t meant to be used for large commercial applications yet. Like what does a quantum internet or website even look like? Is it just faster or does it have more security because it’s in an unknown state until you check its state? These things don’t easily make sense for a system like the internet to have so why push it. It’s like using AI to automate a task. Yes you can use ai does it make sense? No because that’s what basic programming is for. Why would I waste resources to do all this if the problem can be solved simply by programming a script. This feels the same. I could be wrong so feel free to add a comment but I do think we’re over hyping this tech as it is right now. It needs more umffff

[GuruGodPlays]

Won't be that much more secure when you consider non-observational interception methodology that would emerge with the proliferation of this technology. Then we are right back to where we are now with encryption factor constantly being upscaled to deal with threats that don't have the knowledge or resources to over power the newest, biggest, baddest encryption out there! (Until the next one comes out or some college kids find an exploit in what we already made)

At this point, internet security starts and ends at unplugging the router. If you use it, you are always at risk no matter what network you're on.

[morganthem]

I googled spectrum bc honestly had never heard of it - now I will probably never get spectrum the quantum out of my ads.

[mikebolton]

Please... Im in the supposed computer tech center of the known universe. Seattle region. Most of the region doesn't even have Internet access. Starlink is conveniently unavailable. Hughes net latency means you cant even make a standard phone call. No cable, no fiber...
Oh and 5g is a straight lie.

I love how folks just assume everyone has internet access.🙄

[suggesttwo]

Sounds like analog. Senitive to noise like analog.

[mikebar]

They allegedly just found a way to make fios fast enough to download. Terabyte per second... I think they would probably do that before quantum internet.

[qualityshloimy]

And how do you expect these qubits to be sent from one place to another? What medium will they travel through? I'd love to hear an alternative that's faster than the literal speed of light.

[thomasn]

Don't quantum computers also require near 0 Kelvin temperatures?

[worshaw]

Suddenlink will never have it. They barely have internet now. They had to change their name from Suddenlink to Optimum, most likely to prevent claims of false advertisement.
