I could live in this analogy forever. What’s in the water? How deep is the water?! Are there other islands we haven’t discovered yet? Still processing everything we learned 🤓

MKBHD in his next video: "So.... I've been using quantum computer for about 15 years now.. and here are my initial thoughts"..

I love how you do your ad's. The counter in the corner makes it so much easier to skip if you want to. Thank you for that.

I’ve seen your shorts for a while, but this is my first full length video. Absolutely love it! You’re doing amazing work, Cleo!

As an engineers i love the way she said "If the physics says it is allowed, the engineers will find a way." I dunno why but it feels like so mesmerizing. Beautiful words ✨✨✨

Marques... check. Insane 3D animation... check. Crazy complex tech that could change the world... check. Published on a completely free platform so everyone can access... check. This episode slaps! The future of media is amazing.

Hello Cleo. I am Happy and excited I have found your channel. You are a bright spot of sunshine in this overcast world. Please continue to be happy and optimistic and informative. I am so glad you are covering a diverse field of scientific topics. Maybe one day we can be as optimistic about our future as you are about science.

As a career computer & software engineer who now also teaches algorithms at a university, I really appreciate the engineer-love you offered, and the accessible description of quantum computers. Coincidentally, this semester (2nd run of the course) I’d decided to explain Shor’s algo in the last week, after my coverage of classical computer algorithms is done. 😊 Just came across your channel recently… now subscribed.

“If the physics say it is allowed, the engineers will find a way.” Love this

Olivia seems like the kind of person you could randomly meet at lunch and just talk about awesome stuff for _hours._ That's gotta be such a fun job. Also that animation was great, whoever made it, *applause*

More adventures and collaboration please. You guys are very good at giving a layman’s explanation of some very complicated physics.

The quality of this video astonishes me. From the information and dialogue to the edition and camera quality. It's amazing

“If the physics say it is allowed, the engineers will find a way" - that gives me a whole new level of RESPECT for the Engineers who make our improbable world function seamlenessly. Super excited for the future but not sure if I live long enough to witness all the amazing things that will unfold. Thank you Cleo. Subscribed.

"If the physics say it's allowed, engineers will find a way." 🤯🤯 what an episode!!

We did a Quantum Algorithms course in my CS degree. The entire course was basically understanding Shor's algorithm. I remember almost nothing of the math, but I do remember that I'd sooner believe that unicorns are real before believing that Quantum Mechanics is really how nature works. This is just nuts.

I'm looking forward to see the further developments in this field. Btw great work from both of you guys.❤❤

As an engineerings student, I wish I could see more videos of engineers explaining their own creations.

I’m blown away by how steampunk the entire thing still is. Amazing to think how much more will be understood 100 years from now.

Fantastic episode. Great explanation, analogy, editing, graphics, and pacing.

First video I've watched of yours. I love how much I was able to learn about Quantum Computing. Keep up the great work!

Your expert guide should have her own podcast or KZfaq channel. She’s a really great communicator.

"If Physics says it's allowed, the engineers will find a way🤐🔥" 15:36

Wow the editing to explain is amazing . It is like pouring the knowledge directly into my brain

Wow, what an awesome first video to watch from your channel. I loved the excitement and enthusiasm, this was the best video I have watched today. Thank you so much and please keep it coming. Much love from here in Central New Zealand. 😊

*"If the physics says it is allowed, the engineers will find a way." As a scientist, I found this line so appropriate.*

Fantastic video! Cleo + MKBHD + Qiskit = the collab you didn’t know you needed! If anyone wants to use a Quantum Computer, we’re here to help.

Can’t believe I didn’t know about your channel until the MKBHD Waveform interview you did! Def subscribed and super excited to go through your videos 🤗

Really nice explanations ,it's a relief to se guys like you to try to wrap your heads around and help even more ordinary people to understand it...nice job...thanks ❤

Two of my favorite creators collaborating on such an interesting topic? Count me in :)

This is my field of work, quantum hardware (PhD). Thanks for covering this topic. I participate in both the technical and non-technical coverage of quantum hardware. On that note, I'll be delivering some invited quantum hardware lecture series on the machines/chips we've been building at my research lab and more. It will be open to the public next week on April 12th with my IBM friends and QuantumGrad. You are all welcomed to join us to learn about what tools and equipment we use to build real quantum devices in the field. Ignore the naysayers, let's keep building and learning from what we build. -Onri the Diné Quantum Engineer

Stumbled on your channel through the algorithm. Your "NASA Is Bringing Supersonic Planes BACK" was the video I saw first. Then, I spotted your collab with MKBHD and clicked it, yup, new subscriber! I am a computer engineer but quantum computing is still something I have questions about and the walkthrough and analogy was so good! Keep up the good work!

this content is amazing. thank you so much for creating this so that we could better understand quantum computers. this would be a great series. hats off to Cleo and Marques and the team that produced this. simply amazing!

Im stunned by how well made this video is on the producer side. All the graphics and so on, really mesmerizing and fun to watch. This is how modern education looks like!!

4 minutes in and I just wanted to congratulate the editor and digital artists on a legit incredible piece of art. Took what was an already fantastic episode and pushed it to the next level.

I've been in engineering and tech for all of my adult life, and videos like this make me excited for our future, once again. I just realized that I had long forgotten what that felt like. I'm embarrassed to say I actually got emotional seeing that genuine, curious excitement on the faces of Cleo & Marques, and also the people being interviewed. I also LOVE how many technically brilliant women are showing up in Cleo's videos! Brava, Cleo! Cleo & Marques - what a YT dream team!

Your analogy actually gave me goosebumps...

Thank you for making this so accessible to a wide audience. When people ask what I studied to be a computer engineer they always assume I just write software and when I begin to explain the physics behind semiconductors; electron superposition, quantum mechanics and special relativity, their eyes just glaze over. Your analogy and explanation of practical applications is a much more reasonable path to build excitement around STEM education and quantum computers. It is so great to have you two collaborate, too. I love you both!

I subscribed!! I love this series so much, you’ve sort of inspired me to maybe go into science, so thank you

Fantastic video and great job reporting on a really complex topic and making it accessible.

This analogy from Cleo is amazing, and when Marques said, 'a flying car-boat,' he took this explanation to a whole new level.

Came for MBKHD, stayed for the genuine love for tech. New sub! 🔔

i love how ibm was one of the first binary computer companies and is now one of the first quantum computer companies

I am so excited to see what breakthroughs these computers will contribute to

Excellent video, Cleo! The math map/boat/submarine analogy captures how fundamentally different quantum computing is and will be. But for me, the real grab was the waves on the pond. If you imagine not just two but hundreds or thousands of pebbles tossed in all at once and the hundreds or thousands of resulting concentric-circle systems, each interfering with the others constructively and then destructively, you get a good start at imagining the chaotic complexity that's the real domain of quantum computers. Love, Dada.

Attended a quantum computing conference today - felt like I accidentally stepped into a black hole of confusion. Miraculously, your video managed to rescue me from the event horizon of perplexity.

"If the physics says it is allowed, the engineers will find a way." love how this is basically what life is right now, if you are asked for something that doesn't "exist" we know if its possible to create

Mind blown 🤯 this is a great starting point for understanding quantum computing

You and MKBHD should make more of these videos and move it to a digital learning platform. So jealous of kids now a days who can learn things in this manner and not just though boring books or bored teachers teaching them things.

Really loved the video explaining about the quantum computer. Everyone was looking lovely and full of energy. Keep the good work up and keep sharing.

I just watched your video about the Hadron Collider, and this was the first recommended video after watching that one. I am so glad that I subbed to your channel!

It is truly a travesty that Cleo only has 400K subscribers, her content is so insanely well produced that this NEEDS to get in front of more eyes. Keep it coming Cleo!

I have loved Marques for a long time but this is my first experience with your channel. I LOVE channels focused on learning about and understanding the world around us. Learning is fun, and I don't think I stopped smiling all episode. Subscribed and looking forward to your next adventure! Great work!!

I'll share my computing approach eventually. I think its just my focus is resting, building energy reserves, and some high priority tasks i neeed to do. Even later, i can see, how I'll use it too; probably for my arm piece, filmmaking, & game. But it seems like a lot of modules no? That's whT concerns me. But no matter - we'll find solutions. 😊

As an engineer. Its so facinating and interesting to watch such videos. Please keep making more such videos on tech and their real life implementations. Great content.

AMAZING content Cleo. The production level and clarity are getting better with every new video. Congrats!

This kind of video we need. Thanks to both of you. ❤❤

This was great, I’ve just started to learn about Quantum Computing at work and was eager to see the physical hardware, thanks.

You two had great chemistry at a professional level. Really enjoyed getting to know you Cleo and I've subscribed.

I never thought about it but it makes sense that things in outer space can't really be that cold...it's nuts to be able to say "this is the coldest thing in the universe"

I met you at the RO gathering of advisors in 2019. I just talked to Doc who told me about your new endeavor. Just watched this one and really enjoyed a look into our collective future

The collab we didn't know we needed but am glad we received!

So glad this video is blowing up. You guys got great chemistry and it added so much to the video. This is the type of videos that inspire us to get smarter and create more stuff

Huge shoutout to Marques for introducing me (millions more) to you Cleo. Instant subscribe from me. You explain things in a similar style to MKBHD that I can respect. Don't know how to describe it other than you make me feel like I'm on your level cause you're not explaining it like I should have known that already. Very comfortable learning experience. Mad respect to Marques (long time subscriber) for sharing the love with a newer channel with a smaller audience. Excited to see more videos!

"The world is a quantum mechanical", I liked this statement as a mechanical engineer.

Thanks you for making content like this. You have the most amazing way of making it informative and entertaining. I can get my kids into watching things that typically wouldn't interest them. I have a question.. What program do you use to make those illustrations ? “type”

Came for MKBHD, stayed for the awesome graphics, analogies, and editing.

Extremeley meaningful collaboration. Insane animation. Your narration is spot on Cleo!

I came here from the Waveform podcast ... great content , very informative and very entertaining. You've got a new subscriber

I went from not having much clarity on the topic to having a decent amount of understanding abt quantum computers. the analogy was quite helpful too. thank u cleo, marques & the entire team.

This felt like I was going on a field trip with you guys, amazing

I love your "fire". I LOVE people who love what they do! Already a @mkbhd fan. This duo is AWESOME!!! Y'all keep up da good work 👍👍👍

This is the best explanation of quantum computers in a science outreach context so far! The pond analogy was nice, they still do calculate everything however. The qubits are in every possible state, think Schroedinger's cat. It's just that you can only get result at the end, so the algorithms work by making that result more likely to be right. In terms of visualisation, I recommend reading Grover's paper on his search algorithm. He has a nice figure where it shows the probability of getting the correct answer ends up higher than the incorrect answers :)

I just always appreciate how you show everyone as a person, and it feels real and honest and person and you show interest in the people along your search for answers.

The storytelling and pacing of this video is so good!!😄

So far is the best quantum computer experience I’ve seen. Thanks

I thought she was Natalie Portman.

⭐Cleo and MKBHD are professors I wished I had ⭐

Olivia was impressively good at making that somewhat understandable! Never felt like I had even the slightest grasp on quantum computation

Thanks to you for this video!❤ I, myself tryed to understand quantum computers but couldn't wrap my head around it

I just found your channel, you have some amazing access to really cool stuff. Keep investigating to fill our enquiring minds. Seasons greetings from Australia.

I stumbled upon this video thanks to the all knowing YT algorithm and apart from the narrative and subject matter themselves (which are fascinating), as an editor myself, I absolutely love the editing. Great flow, tasteful effects, informative visuals. Great job, whoever is responsible!

I was blown away on how you guys could bring light to Topology concepts keeping it simple. It is so inspiring the way you approach to science.

at 8:48 Marques was in Awe and I liked it the most about the video.

Just subscribed. I watch MKBHD a lot, so I'm guessing that's why the KZfaq algorithm brought you to me, and I'm glad it did. I'm a software engineer, so the subject of quantum computers is particularly interesting to me. I like the approach you're taking on your channel. Technology is not scary. It's scary what some people can and will do with technology, so there's reason for concern. But there are also plenty of reasons to celebrate these advances and what they could mean from a positive perspective.

Cleo's way of breaking down complex information is amazing

Okay, so my understanding so far is as follows. Classical computers use transistors; which are basically chunks of stuff which electricity/electromagnetic energy passes through, and such that, the consistency of the flow of the energy at the start is different than at the end; which is the same as saying that transistors cause energy flow differences, or that they cause voltage. They can be made to vary the amounts too. And they can be made to vary the amounts depending on the consistency of energy flowing in at the start. Next. The various arrangements of these transistors. Different ones, in combination, make it so that depending on the energy flow (or i guess you could say, energy flow rate) at the start of the whole combination (or, of the whole operation/process), you'll get a predetermined energy flow at the end; and that energy flow can go to others circuitry/transistor(s), leading to another change in the energy flow of another transistor, which is connected to a display which only lights up pixels so as to display a number "1" if of certain energy flow. Thus when user swipes accordingly, leading to machinery/display only allowing certain consistency of energy flow into start of procedure, the result is a "1" displayed on the screen. More or less anyway. What about all the maths operations? They dont matter much; they never have. We've only really cared about them being done properly AND the device showing us the result/answer of the operation, if we need it to; otherwise, the result of another operation, involving math, happening. The transistors may recieve energy with a consistency of flow too low for them to alter what happens to the flow rate. In which case the energy just flows through, with no change in consistency of flow. That fact/possibility, of transistors to not work when without a certain predetermined required consistency of energy flow, allows for an expanded range of operations that can be done. As sets of transistors will only "activate" - & change the consistency of electromagnetic energy flowing through them -, if electromagnetic energy of a pre-decided consistency flows through. How do we communicate about these operations more effectively? Instead of saying a transistor - or whole operation as it can apply to them too due to the set up of transistors -, activated or inactive, we can say they have either state "1" (for active) or state "0" (for inactive). Instead of saying transistors, we'll say "bits". One chunk/stream of electromagnetic energy of a certain consistency, due to a button press by user, goes to the first transistor, or bit, in an operation, which activates it; or we could say, the first bit has state 1. Depending on the operation, we may get state 1 or state 0 at/from transistor at end of operation. Leading to a particular task done by other electromagnetic machinery; or going to another operation. Only now imagine this with several possible bits at a time - even from single user button press -, as well as varying amounts out at the end; and thus several tasks done afterwards, which we'd like to be done together. Even if afterwards we only see a single result, because of yet other tasks that take place after other operations which the prior tasks are connected to. Right, so now quantum computers. Well, we often now what we want to put into the operation. And we have some idea as to the result. But we dont know the process. We know we want to press a button, and send several bits (with their states) to the operation. We know we want the operation to lead to several bits having their states, which then ultimately leads to the screen showing - as an example - the fastest route to a destination. BUT! We have never gone there before. The computer has a map yes, and information about the terrain and our vehicle for traversal. But before we could make an operation which would take in the available information, and do what we know to do with it, to determine the fastest route. But what if we dont know what to do with the available information? Well then we have no certainty about the validity of any result our designed operation will bring. For example, we make it say "this" is the fastest route, because it is the most flat surface; but we could be wrong. How would we like to solve the challenge in reality, with all the time in the world? Drive there. Over and over again. Changing speed. Changing courses. Changing this and that and so on. Eventually, we'll discover the fastest way. But if we want to shorten the time? Well, we could see if speed effects it a lot, as well as this direction here and that direction there; until we arrive at a set of proposed means by which we can make the fastest journey; which we apply and then aŕrive at the route with the highest probability of being the fastest. So. We design an operation, which somehow, tests all those different changes. Like playing it out in your mind over and over again. Then the final result will be the route with the highest probability of being the fastest. EXCEPT. Well, that'd take forever with a classical computer - at least for the bigger challenges. But, it would appear, quantum computers could do very fast. How they do so, also explains what quantum computer actually are too. The operation isnt a set of transistors, which, when taking in a predetermined consistency of electromagnetic energy, alter the consistency a certain amount for its exit, or do not alter it if not that predetermined consistency. Instead, due to the materials used and blah blah blah - i have no idea -, these quantum-transistors take in a predetermined consistency of electromagnetic energy. But do not always alter the consistency. So sometimes there is an altered consistency of energy flow upon exit, and sometimes there isnt - even when recieving the predetermined amount and so still active! Its not the same as state 0. It is state 1, but possibly altering it, as usual, and so remaining state 1; but possibly not altering it, and so - well, either half state 0 now, or state 1 into state 0. Furthermore, the state 0 can become state 1 too. Sometimes, when not recieving the predetermined amount - so state 0 -, it'll alter the consistency, and thus become state 1. Giving each transistor, and thus many operations, a dual state. And, until we see the end result/transistor; we dont know the state; so, for our purposes, it is simultaneously state 1 and state 0; furthermore, it does have a probability of actually altering the energy flow rate or not, and thus a probability as to whèther or not it will lead to a state 1 or state 0; a probability which depends upon the previous quantum/not transistors the electromagnetic energy flowed through. Back to the routes. If we know how much higher speeds increase the fastness of the route, and same for other variables like terrain & whatnot; then we can use operations which will lead to the same results. As in, "speed 5" increases fastness by "9", but only 23% of the time (so 23% probability it will make it faster); so we use an operation, which has shown to have a 23% probability, of producing state 1 from state 1. So when user presses/inputs "speed 5", the appropriate starting quantum-transistor(s) are at state 1; and, the end state will be state 1, which ultimately leads to display showing a route of speed 5. But, taken in with other variables & operations; then it will only show the route with speed 5 if it is not just faster than other routes, but the fastest; it may make it 23% faster, but there could be other options. And we no longer need to know what they all are. We only need the probabilities from our experiments and theories. The quantum computer will determine the route with the highest probability of being the fastest. Revealing perhaps the essence of quantum computing. The involving of the situation in our prudence and forethought.

This was extremely helpful! One of the best explanations of Quantum Computing I've seen.

Really loved the editing. Whoever did post production is amazing. As well with everyone who went in to making this video 🤙🏻

Subscribed!! Cannot wait to see more adventures of you and Marques!! Thanks for making such an obscure knowledge so fun and understandable!!

I have been watching your videos and shorts for quite some time by now. But I must say that I am so glad to have been a part of this journey (including the one in the analogy). The submarine analogy was really accurate. But at least we'll be able to predict what happens at a quantum level and the waves can explore the kind of calculations that binary can't even fathom. I'd really like more of your stuff. Much appreciated for your effort to take us along on this little adventure of yours.

Another thing not addressed was the riser section for wiring coming from the processor core. In digital the sizes are getting smaller because the speeds of going from 0 to 1 are getting so fast that if the path is too long, you can't see the transitions from 0 to 1. The signals travel at near light speed, so you have to wait to receive the last signal before you get the next 0 or 1. So the quantum computing must not rely on any kind of speed. From that I think the better analogy was when you zoomed out of the word. You could see every part of the world in one instant by zooming out.

Genuinely love your bright-eyed and meticulously researched approach to this. I also appreciate seeing @mkbhd in a slightly different light outside of the consumer realm. You're both super entertaining and informative, can't wait for the next collab!

It's a really complex subject but you did a great job at explaining it in such an easy and interesting way (the analogy was amazing). It's only scratching the surface but now I know a little more. Thanks and keep making great educational videos.

so cleo, i have a request for you, could you like make a video breaking this down to a very fundamental level, like for example I know if i press a key it will type into my laptop, like that what exactly is quantum computing, what does it do, what is it made of, like just on a very basic level

So it gives another level of ooerating on floating things, not simply computing with some runtime changes. - So can it be determined as 'dynamic math'? If we have not static values on both sides of '='? It means ability of calculating of complex dynamic systems without paralleling? Parallelling or other approaches for iterative calculating, giving correct approximation? It is very interesting! But requires 'state' storing, with applied analitycs, or you need to create physically close to real model links in virtual model, naturally storing up-to-time state for next change within itself.

Your energy and curiosity is incredible. Such great, compelling storytelling.

Incredible episode! You did a wonderful job explaining the differences between classical and quantum computing in a way anyone can understand.

One of the most informative and interesting videos on KZfaq! Great work Cleo and MKBHD!

Very Informative Tour. Thanks for letting us know about this new technology.

The best learning video recently. So many of my misconceptions about quantum computers got cleared and got a flare. Having Marques was a connecting factor. Lady, that's a phenomenal job you have done on this. I am hitting subscribe for this very work even when probably it's your first video I watched.
