I’ve never concentrated so hard and I still have no idea what just happened

My quantum states: Think I get it Thought I got it Never really had it at all 😂

This video legit made me feel like a child again. A person trying their darn best at explaining something as simply as possible and it is still flying over my head.

People : Why aren't you sure of yourself? *Me : I'm a quantum computer.*

Few minutes of watching and trying to understand the video and im starting to sound like a minecraft villager. Hmmmm?

I was in a superposition between understanding and not understanding this until i watched this video

So a qubit is basically what I mean while saying. . . . . *"Well yes but actually no."*

Ted: Explains it in detail Me: huh?????

Quantum computing makes as much sense to me as a camel in Antarctica. This video helped increase my comprehension to the point where it makes as much sense to me as a seawater turtle swimming off the coast of Bora Bora. And believe me, that's a good thing

I would be lucky if I lived long enough to even see a Quantum laptop

"If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you you haven't understood it yet "best line ever in field of quantum mechanics

*Finally! With THIS i can run Crysis !*

Teded is great . My favorite channel on you tube .

A quantum computer? Cool, I want one!

Quantum computers are going to be great!! Hope i will be one of those who would work its computation. Such videos motivates me a lot !! Thank you #TED-Ed

Amazing video, your animations are amazing!

I've been following the progress of quantum 💻🖥 for a few years now. Fascinating stuff.

Good job at explaining with the animation :)

Love your animations! Please keep doing what you are doing!

Hi ted-ed Nicely explained about quantum computers... Now i have got some idea.. Great animation... Thanks for the video ted-ed...🙏👍😊

When physics is your computer. How much is this computer again.

my states during the progression of the video start :1 middle:1/0 end:0 nice video tho.

I would really like a 'further reading list' under most of your videos tbh.

I love Ted-Ed ! ♥️

I especially like the part where this video never got around to talking about the high-stakes race.

One of the best basic explanations I've observed so far. Thank you!

Thank you for getting things right. I was so god damn tired of all inaccuracies, spread by pseudo-educational channels.

You know it will be a complicated topic when you heard the word "Quantum"

Your videos have taught me more than school

the animation makes everything interesting!!!!

With this video I learned that the quantum computer can have certain advantages over the classic computer due to its features and composition but at this moment it is still necessary to work for this type of computer to reach its expected level, I learned how ions can be quite useful but for other side it can be difficult to mantain its accuracy, with the circuits is easier to obtain greater accuracy but it has a shorter lifespan, with all this I learned that there are several ways to do something because each thing has to I found the idea of the video quite interesting and for that reason I liked watching it.

Schools should use Ted Ed to teach more often

My reward best reward:watching your detailed +AWSOME animation

I lost it at 3:16 "The laser could input the question..."

These videos really throw my brain for a loop...... and I love it!

I love it when someone is animated talking in the Video. I wish there are more of these

양자컴퓨터가 어떻게 작동하는지 배워보는 정말 재미있는 시간이 되었습니다. 양자컴퓨터가 다른 일반적인 컴퓨터와 다른점과 같이 전반적인 양자컴퓨터에 대한 지식을 쌓는 좋은 시간을 가졌습니다. 감사합니다.

Excellent explanation, very clear, you need to understand the basic concept of computers in order to understand this video.

*I hope these things won't backfire when computers are smarter than us.*

thanks for clearing my confusion about superposition

As always love the animation nd easy explanation.

Woah I’m surprisingly early for a ted Ed vid

Mom remember you told me you will buy me a new gaming PC...

r: "i cant decide if i like betty or veronica" me: oh you are superpositioned!

Had no idea it was so simple, thanks!

The race will never end because basically you can make quantum computer work and not make it work at the same time. Hehe... The old quantum joke.

What are some good resources on quantum computers?

Her voice is so pleasant omg, just the right amount of huskiness and rasp, it's like coffee in the morning. Great and informative content as usual!

great clip!

Me : Hey quantum computer , tell me 2x2 . QC : it's 4 . No it's 2 . No 6 . No it's 8 . No it's 162737289192727363627282929293838474747373828292020303938484747464647478392929202093837464646382829292039383747747483829292929202939384747748382929292928384746464637383829200048475474762616163738945949356373838395950403872626263647484848494992938474764636262627384949400400505055059488373726266262626262637474884859559950606606050483883727262626151551637484859595050948382726163647489726273748494998726262637484949 maybe .

Super well done on this video! As a former ion trap quantum computing scientist this is the first video that I've seen that makes sense of the field without getting so complex it's incomprehensible. Also, Ions rule, JJs drool (but I'm a little biased on that, hehe)

Amazing work. 😃

"But in spite of all these obstacles, we've already succeeded at making computations in a realm we can't enter or even observe." That was as inspired as it was poetic.

These videos are so informative, and yet my brain wants to explode trying to comprehend anything relating to quantum theory.

I find this interesting for two reason : 1.) what would happen if I use a quantum computer as a gaming computer? 2.) Time to dive into the dark web, or was is the deep web? Let’s just do both

Her voice is super relaxing for some reason.

This is the most fascinating thing I've ever seen. Basically, Superconducting Circuits are like Intel CPUs, where they have faster IPCs than Trapped Ions right now, but will run into the limit of architecture. Meanwhile Trapped Ions are like AMD CPUs before Ryzen came out, where they lose to Superconducting Circuits IPC-wise, but can theoretically make up for it by continuously adding more and more cores aka Ion Traps.

Big fan of ted ed

This vastly undersells the differences between quantum and classical computing. It makes it sound like all we'd need to do with classical computers is add a few more bits.

This is super fascinating.

first video who actually explained what a qubit is and properly said what is a superposition, and not the popular hand waving "is 1 and 0 at the same time!" who doesn't make sense and make it worse to understand

fist ever video I watched that explains how qbits are physically implemented. Can you please make a follow-up video to explain how the qbits are made to get entangled with each other during the quantum computation? Some more details on the photon-based observation will also be great.

Super job, narator.

no idea what's going on but her voice is real soothing

It is full of knowledge

But the important question is (DOES IT HAVE A HEADPHONE JACK)!!!

You really make great videos

Great video

Great voice!

Imagine the time when our computers now would be called "classical computers" as being looked as a vintage and a normal laptop or smartphone is a quantum computer..

Everyday we learn, thanks

At 3:44 they say that the only factors of 15 are 3,and 5 while they are 1,3,5,and 15

WHO IN THE WORLD DISLIKES THIS VIDEO ???

You should do a video on Australian Rules Football (AFL) it's Australia's national sport and we're crazy about it over here but its almost unheard of overseas. The AFL Grand Final is the highest attended club championship event in the world including the super bowl and the players can run upwards of 20kms per game compared to soccer player's 13km. The game is fascinating and unlike any other sport around the world and it's so crazy that its such an institution in Australia but even American sports fanatics have rarely heard of it. Check out the video called "What is AFL? Aussie Rules Explained"

So cool!

Currently working on quantum computing First of all Amazing video I cannot agree more on the quote by Niels Bohr One thing I would add is optical quantum computing is the most promising one of all

I understand perfectly now.

Why not use magnets to correct any frequincy variations while using magnictic sound waves to hold the ions in a better structure?

So you're saying you can manipulate quantum States but you still can't tell if the particle is in a fixed position or if it's a wave.

양자 컴퓨터를 만들기가 이렇게 힘든지 몰랐습니다. 매우 작은 입자들의 성질을 가지고 컴퓨터를 만드는 것이기 때문에 주변 환경에 영향을 많이 받는다는 게 주요 원인인데, 과연 미래에 이 문제를 어떻게 해결할 지 궁금하네요. 좋은 영상 감사합니다!

This is giving me math exam flashbacks...

to those who dont get it. quantum states are infinite. so when you superposition 2 qbits they can run all combination specified by 2 bits. since total combination of 2 is limited more needs to be superpositioned. so they all process given parameter in parallel instantly. The challenge however is superposition more qbits is hard due to many disturbances in atmosphere.

Hey ted-Ed, awesome video! I’m really into philosophy and I was wondering if you could make “Why should you read?” Episodes on Thus spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche and The stranger by Albert Camus. Most people at my school don’t know much about philosophy and I want to share my passion of philosophy with them. I think your videos could explain philosophy for them and open their eyes to the beauty of philosophy! (Going into 8th grade this fall). Hopefully you consider my ideas! Thanks!

The quantum processing unit shown in the video is just one of the ways of manipulating the qubits. There are more feasible solutions for making a large scale QPU. Most of the solutions are using microwaves to control the spin of qubits. Making more smaller traps may work now, but the future we might have a QPU with hundreds of thousands of qubits on a single chip just like the classical ones.

When you say you've already made computations have you actually seen comprehensible results like being able to type 2 + 2 and have the quantum computer answer with 4?

Explain how they make actual calculations and the mathematics needed to get an answer. It would be nice to have a video which explained the statistical methods. Thanks...................................

This might be the 100th video I have watched about quantum computers and still have no idea how they work.

please do a video on the human foot, and the “barefoot/minimalist shoe” movement!

So I'm guessing raytracing shouldn't be a problem for a quantum computer

Makes sense.

As much as i understood the Q-Bit, the explaination is reasonable simplified, but make the quantum-mechanics really complicated and obscure to understand, if you want to dig deeper. Maybe i'm writing complete sh*t, but i'd explain it this way: A Q-Bit has 3-axis which can be positioned with the Nort-Pole (Electromagnetic field like the earth has) up or down. The Super-Position describes, when the Q-Bit is somewhere between these points. Because it's not a finite number, the North-pole can be 2/3 to the top, so basicly be 66,6666666666-> % Upwards showing. Tecnically in both the x-y Axis and the x-z Axis, but we can only measure the polarity on up or downside. The interesting part, since the position of the axis is somewhere between 1 and 0 (up or down showing), and you can make an infinitely-small fractal of the number "1", you can basicly calculate with an *potential of infinite-accuracy* (depending on the accuracy on the input data) The problem: we can only point the QBits accurately up or down (absolute values) or use some (really complicated) operations to make them point as a bigger fractal. so inputing Data is limited to an *finite* amount of accuracy. The calcucation however can be done with infinite accuracy since the QBits interact by quantum-mechanically linking them together. (Basicly Physics calculate a 3D-Value, with *as-fast-as-possible* speed). Problem two: Reading the values, since our measurements can only tell if a QBit is with it's northpole upwards or downwards. (QBits are really tiny after all), so a QBit 2/3 upwards, will be read 2/3 of the time (or 66,666 %) as a *true* and 1/3 of the time as *false* ... So you basicly recalculate your programm so often, you get by statistics the position of the QBit (as many itterations, the more accurate your reading). So the Supoer-Position is basicly only a state, which we can't create (only fith a finite amount of accuracy, which defeats the purpose), and we can only read one Value, which Statistically Chances is the only way to tell us, the actual value *approximately*! *TL;DR* The Super-Position is the State in which a Value is stored with an infinite amount of Accuracy, which we can't create by our own, since tecnology can only calculate with finite numbers.

Chiara Decaroli may have written this but this isn’t her narration.

This is the beat channel on you tube

The Sydney University has designed a silicon Q computer that runs at room temperature, something ignored by many narrators of Quantum Computers.

what i don't get is how do you get any useful information out of a qubit if its impossible to read without destroying the data? How do you know what amount/frequency of photon corresponds to what part of the qubit if you can't read the qubit to compare?

Iddris sandu taught me about Quantum numbers , it’s interesting.

I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING!!!! maybe??

Would different color laser work for more computing power with percussion?

Is the principle of quantum computer uncertainty is same with Werner Heisenberg princip of uncertainty of electron in atom orbit?

So to have a quantum computer, you need to microwave a regular computer.
