But can it run Crysis?

Literally one minute after starting the video: Liked and subscribed. Structured, calm and to-the-point.

I hope this video blows up, really important that this tech is shared widely and understood

Thank you for creating this Ian. I barely have a grasp on any computing science (I’m just potato) but I’m always fascinated by these insights and I learn a little bit more every video.

I never realized that that entire thing was just to cool the chip. You always see the quantum machine without the insulating nesting covers.

Excellent interview. My work in quantum is with optical and biological hybrid light efficient molecules. This has been over 25 years of work in this area.

The implications of this first step seems almost unlimited, maybe not, may take a millennia to see it thru, but very humbling to see the beginning of an era in real time❤️

This is really quality content. I love your presentation and editing style in this video. Keep it up Ian!

Loving the way things turned out for this channel. You're doing a great job Ian!

Look at this thing. The culmination of millions of minds and many decades. It is such a specialized machine. It's outrageous looking. Each little part playing a role. It's crazy that configuring varying amounts of elements in such a specific way was required to reach this level of understanding. It's like an insanely complex puzzle.

Excellent and informative video about what IBM is currently up to. I hadn't realized the 1k qubit systems are within striking distance. Very exciting!

No matter the topic, I always look forward to your interviews. Thank you! Even if the subject is way over my head - I always end the video more informed and at the very least inspired to dive deeper into what was talked about.

Thank you for such a tight video on this subject. Great job on walking though all of the stages of this topic and doing it in a way that was friendly to all knowledge levels. 👍

I'm giving a public lecture on quantum chip hardware, hosted by a local IEEE chapter in Minnesota, USA. This video has given me an extra boost of motivation for my talk on this coming Monday. Thanks for your presentation. -Onri

IBM is quietly pushing the envelope of science and technology. Simply amazing, thank you for the video upload.

Wonderful interview - you showed yourself as very respectful and informed intervewer - congrats!

Very informative and I love how jazzed everyone working on it is. It's super awesome to see!

Very nice and informative. Just to expand a little bit this excellent video. The parts you were helping with are called radiation shields and they protect the lower (colder) stages from thermal radiation from the higher (hotter) stages. The last shield is vacuum tight the other shields usually are not vacuum tight. Another thing is the little loops you mention on all the cables are to compensate the stresses from thermal contraction when the system is cooling without these loops you could risk cables breaking when the system is coold.

As a computer engineer since 1979 and a multi-lingual programmer I'll be impressed when someone explains the use of these things succinctly enough so that there's a reason to buy one. I already got caught by IBM's enthusiastic marketing more than once (OS/2 and Xeon Phi) and am not about to make a third mistake.

Finally! This is the video I've been searching for explaining a quantum compute very well done, thank you!

Awesome content. This topic is usually condensed into the same couple of talking points without any real indication of the status of things and where its headed. Thank you!

Really interesting Ian. I think some more information on how programming for Quantum would be valuable.

I'm still not sure how we will be intended to interface. This aspect will still use traditional computers to tap into the Quantum network? I would love it if you could also do a video on Optical Computing with Photonic processors.

That was an excellent presentation Ian. As a developer I will definitely check-out the IBM portal for Quantum Comp.

I hope you get more subscribers because this is a very rare opportunity and a very well explained video. One future idea would be an in-depth video on the different kinds of problems which quantum computers would be able to solve VS. traditional supercomputers.

Thank you, very interesting and awesome interviews!

I love that everyone is excited and eager to show what they can. Material science and quantum computers will hopefully change our lives for the better.

Half of it went above my head, cos I'm no physicist, but thanks for being real and not over hyping, interesting developments in this area and excited to see how it progresses over the coming years.

Thanks for asking good questions and getting into the weeds to some degree - what a cool insight into the beginnings of what seems inevitably the tech of the future in some ways

What a time to be alive! Great video again.

Why is everyone complimenting this video for its clarity while at the same time admitting that they don't understand it?

That was brilliant..good questions and great video ..I'm very excited to see what the future holds

still remember the mike and ike book! great insight Ian!

Thanks Ian for the review/look into this field of computing, it is interesting to see what is happening in this field on both a research and practical level. However, I'm disappointed in that this video didn't have any *CAT* *TAX* in the outro :p

I can't wait to watch this video again in a couple decades. Just like how its fun to watch computer videos from the 90's and 00's

Funny, most of media talks about quantum computing as some sci-fi utopian kind of dream and then you come across a channel like this that take you to see one lol news are always a truly fascinating world ....very interesting video thanks for sharing it

Excellent science, excellent journalism - thank you Ian, a fascinating video!

I love that they are engineered and built to have this post futurism steampunk thing that maybe Nikolai Tesla might have had in his work shop.

love the passion in the explanations they give.

Leading to significant advancements in a variety of industries, from healthcare to finance to transportation, the possibilities are endless. As Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the way we process and analyze information. It'll be exciting to witness what the future holds for this technology.

I was VERY happy with the insight from your interviews-- showed me how far behind in computing I am. From a business perspective, opening up their ecosystem to the public (thus proliferating their tech) strengthens their standing in the quantum computing market. IBM gets to direct the path of quantum computing. I wish I bought IBM stock at the beginning of the COVID shutdown. By the way, I looked up your JECHES publication (well, abstract. Elsevier paywall...) and your COMSOL reference. Very cool stuff. You're pretty much my hero. I feel inspired too look deeper into Qiskit Nature.

That was a really really professional documentary on quantum computing with very good interviews! Thank you very much for such interesting content. If you intent to look what other actors do also in this field ( Google, Microsoft..) that would be great. Thanks again

I wrote a whole bunch of code designed to run on the IBM Q in 2019. Glad to see they're still doing this work.

it's going to be truly amazing when they use it to run an AI. It would be a multi dimensional mind helping solve our issues, creating new materials, creating new meds and technology. it's going to be a very bright future.

Really good questions asked. Thanks!

I wish someone would explain how they actually work and come to existence. Until today the explanations I saw are all very superficial how this stuff actually works.

Going from tubes in the 50s and 60s to chips and now to chandeliers is such an interesting development

Dr. Dario Gil has the appearance of a pixar movie super villain in his early non-evil years, and I love it.

It's fascinating to me that quantum computing also has quantum deadlines. The realization of a "quantum advantage", or useful application of quantum computing, could happen in 1 year or 2 or 3 or 4 but it's very unlikely to take 20 more years. There's a kind of half-life to the time frame where the odds of finding a way to combine novel fabrication and cooling with novel programming in order to do something better than digital computing curve upwards with each year but whether it's 1 or 4 years is a total mystery even to the guys at the bleeding edge.

So I think it's fairly settled that Quantum is going to act as an accelerator to computing in general, much in the same way as network, graphics or tensor accelerators. My interest is now clear on the path forwards for quantum computing that looks like this - it will simply acquire larger numbers and faster frequencies and better algorithms and it will probably settle into standardised ISA analogues as distribution becomes more broad, much like how classical computing happened. There'll be some incredible engineering achievements and probably some physics breakthroughs, and that's great My interest now is within the box, inside servers and workstations and mobile devices. What will a quantum accelerator, a QPU if you will, look like? How will real-time mK cooling be implemented, because surely it would be deeply impractical to maintain those temps idle? What would the impacts on performance for various use cases look like in the first generation of PCI-E or whatever interface? Imagining that future is where my brain is going "ooh" right now

J'aurais aimé le voir en action. Vous imaginez. Le quantique est ses photons datent des années 40. Tout le temps qu'il a fallu pour en arriver là. C'est incroyable comme technologie. Nous sommes au début d'un nouvel air. Plus rien ne sera pareil. Vous pouvez imaginer tout et vous serez encore sous le choc tellement que c'est énorme.

Awesome video, mate. I'm American, but felt like writing "mate". Good stuff, bro.

Mind-bending and cool.

Absolutely love this

Yet another marketing-type presentation. I kept waiting for a practical explanation of the programing aspect, how to actually solve a problem. You alluded to the process a few times, but in the end, I learned nothing that I did not know before on the technical side.

Great questions straight to the point.

This is the "first computers were at room size and they could only compute simple 4 mathematical operations" era for quantum computers. They will eventually be in our pockets in like 20 years which is fascinating to think about.

Almost 100k subscribers and I still don't know if silicon-based chips are superior in taste to potato-based chips.

I've always had a keen interest in learning more about quantum computing, what makes them work the way the work.

For a second I though this is one of those clickbait videos with generic PR B-roll footage. Great video!

What a privilege, thank you

A wild Wendell appears at 0:46 :)

Watching this video I now know that I will never use anything in this video. But this is interesting.

This reminds of vacuum tube technology and how much space it needed, but I'm writing about this on a phone that uses billions of transistors instead of vacuum tubes. Some day this computer will be the equivalent of vacuum tube tech

What are the quantum chips made out of? Is this the same photolitography and silicon, or something entirely different?

For the last 10 years I’ve been confused how the *^# IBM makes money. They have all these people. Doing research. But where does their income come from. Like all this quantum computer stuff and people working on it… who’s paying for it?

God damn! THAT cryo chandelier is BEAUTIFUL! Good fucking work guys at IBM!

15000 applications for 60 positions (30:03)! I think IBM found a great niche to explore. I do think we will progress to having quantum on our personal devices, though (32:39).

Sterling said it best at ISC: "Quantum computing is like teaching computer science at Hogwarts" ;)

I like the Taiwan flag pin! 2:42

Well done. A tough subject to address!!

Sooo.... Can it play Crysis?

To me, the IBM Roadmap TM seems like a delay scam to eke out more govt and grant funding for max amount and keep the gravy train going as long as possible.

Very nice video, not sure what you have done with the color balance and aspect ratio, but nice video. I will still give it a thumbs up because the content was so good.

Thank god we didn't get the "regular bits are either on or off, quantum bits are like totally three or more or something" explanation. Actual information.

No mention of decoherence? Error correction? I call bullshit on the paid advertisement!

Typical quantum marketing fluff - X trillion words, no data\demos

Computerphile has a fantastic video with a physicist explaining wave functions and wave function collapse and how that relates to the functioning of quantum computers.

This video is super cool, can't wait to tell my IT class mates out this.

This is a good video. Another video what categories of companies which can purchase and use would be a good source for sales.

This looked extra fun, I was a little envious, not gonna lie but you missed the most obvious 3 questions: 1)What does this mean for ID and the future of Quake 5? 2)How big can the map be in the next The Elder Scrolls without loading screens? 3a)Can it solve the problem of how to make me rich? 3b)Can I schedule time to use it for my new game, "Real Time Stock Analysis" any day M-F, say 9:30am - 4:00pm?

liked and subscribed 👏👏👏

Quantum soup, was that a slip? Flaming hot video, excuse the pun. Thanks to all involved in the production of this excellent video.

The temperatures currently required to make this work brings new meaning to "cold hard facts".

Amazing Video! Thanx

Thank you!

Ths is the first time ever I have seen an image (moving or still) of a quantum computer offering some reference by which to judge how big one is. Thanks.

Thats Kinda REALLY exiting in its own way

As a chemist with a programming background, i hope while i am alive, i can get into quantum computing to design molecules. Imagine an algorithm running so fast, it could design molecules for you using AI based on all known existing chemical reactions.

This intrigues me beyond my capacity to articulate!

I am cooming from this information

Quantum computer is going to be a gamechanger. We'll be able to touch the speed of light. There will be greater chances to find life on other planets. Hope I learn more about the universe in my lifetime.

6:25 Finally, a portable quantum computer, now I can listen to all my music at the same time and balance my checking account while I'm travelling for business.

Love the pin.

Amazing Interview and presentation!

Looks to be another Tokamak indeed, where Tokamak is in need of a complete re-thing, and this 'who knows, when, what' quantum project, rather a lot of words and a reasonably cool fridge.

Love your laptop "more than moore"

And here I am, excited about a prospect of buying a new Intel GPU.

What I was hoping to hear was how they were able to make the particles do tricks. Like how did they get the particles to go where they wanted when they wanted, and stay for the designated period of time required to process. AkA how did they stimulate quantum flux and predetermine the destination parameters. Also I feel like there is a missing niche for this technology that isn't being recognized at this moment. For sure the high end scientific/industrial applications are inspiring but the general rule is that if you want the funds to turbo boost the development of a technology you have to have a tangible consumer level application that customers and the people who want their money can rally behind. In this case I would point out direct neurological interfaces. which would benefit greatly the medical field, but also could have applications in the entertainment industry. I know that direct neural feedback is too much to ask for but what about direct neural input. Meaning the end of the the old mouse and keyboard and instead imputing directly from the users nerve impulses. Something already being researched but that is limited by processing lag between nerve output and machine perception of said output. If the entertainment industry and medical industries take such an interest they may accelerate development to the point where you could significantly reduce your minimum time table. Also that would incentivize other developers to also be trying to solve the cooling issue with at present means the device has to have a cooling chamber the size of a small car. Either by minimizing the coolers size or perhaps developing circuit materials that can operate at more obtainable temperatures. There is a significant desire in consumers for the development of direct neural feedback technologies. This was inspired by the concepts in an anime of all places. The title being "Sword Art Online" where as a user could don a head set and have their brain given input sensory information. In the last iteration of that series a off shoot called "Accel World" Direct feedback technology has reached the point where the devices are as common as cell phones. In that future of the future setting every person has what looks like headphones around their neck. and those devices provide direct feedback augmented reality information that is used for things like the text on things like road signs, billboards, restaurant menus, education, recreation, door locks, and monetary transactions. Basically every aspect of life that involves an exchange of information or security. Keeping that in mind imagine if those industries were to become interested in investing their mind boggling large development budgets in this technology. Instead of just those investors in the deeper end of science and industry. Think of how computers developed since the 70s and how that was fundamentally accelerated by consumer interest in the 1990's. I guess what I am saying is that if you want quantum computing to grow as quickly as Digital computing did you are going to need to find consumer level applications. Or the technology will languish in obscurity developing slowly simply because of limited investment.
