I just started watching all your videos last month while Im working full time on a multicore quantum compiler. Timing is sometimes just perfect, thank you for your excellent content :)

I remember Feynman's lectures on computation, it was so good. I didn't understand much :)

One small step for quantum and one giant leap for quantumkind.

Thanks for the explanation...as someone from outside the field, this was the best explanation I've seen that wasn't too technical AND had great visualizations

This was both enlightening and entertaining. I'm well downstream from this channel's material, but always come away wanting to learn more.

Another issue with quantum computers is that the set of problems for which the best known quantum algorithm is significantly faster than the best known regular algorithm is relatively small. A qbit might technically be able to store more information than a regular bit due to allowing for superpositions, but that does not mean that we can actually use this additional information in any meaningful way and, so far, it seems like we cannot, in most cases.

I enjoy these mini documentaries! Very informative and well developed, thanks 😎

A really intuitive way to understand quantum computers is to understand that they are really good a Sudoku. Normally, you'd have to iterate through a sudoku puzzle, check each square to see what numbers it could be, if it could only be one number, collapse it and cross off all the other numbers, and repeat. A quantum computer would be able to represent each empty square as a qubyte, and would be able to collapse them all at the same time. Problems like sudoku are called Constraint Satisfaction Problems and quantum computers are great at solving them. Another great example would be coloring a map. Normally you would have to color each state at a time watching out to make sure you don't run out of colors, but a quantum computer could almost instantly collapse the map to a coloring that satisfies the constraint that the same color can't be touching. Graph theorists love quantum computers.

I really enjoy to see/hear you! Happy New Year, and a big hug from Brazil.

At the Feynman's time there still existed analogue computers, which did exactly what Feynman proposed though in the field of classical physics. An analogue computer could solve differential equations almost instantly. The problem with them was accuracy of elements and incompleteness, e.g. some simple problems where hard or impossible to solve. A square root element was the size of modern computer. Inaccuracy was caused by [thermdynamic] noise like in the quantum computers. The question of completeness is an interesting one. It boils down to whether modeling physical world is all you need from and for computing. It some sense it is, because a computer exists in physical world. But the size of the model could quickly become too large, as you explained.

Thank you for the informative video. I'm currently taking an introductory quantum computing course in my senior year, i've always wanted to go deeper into this area and taking the course made me want it even more. I'm even considering to pursue master's degree on quantum computing.

I've been following you on KZfaq for years, and I also worked at Q-CTRL in 2020-22 (was involved with their deep reinforcement learning research, among other initiatives). So cool to see both worlds collide!!

thank you for this! i no longer misunderstand superposition as both states at once thanks to you.

Hey , Darsh here . I am a student ( special a physic student ) but I use to keep interest in astrophysics as well as in psychology , to know about different phD thesis ,... I just feel wow after watching your videos , it was so amazing, Nice content creator 👏

Watching a Tibees video. Way to start the day off right!!! :D

This is fabulous. Fifteen minutes of inspiration, introduction and insight.

Quantum computers are great at Constraint Satisfaction Problems like coloring a map using a qubit for each vertex in the inverted graph representation. This means you would be able to solve for video game worlds like minecraft in a single operation rather than having to iterate thru the object. Redstone would be done in contant time as long as you had enough qubits to represent the redstone devices.

I passed this on to my Chinese A-level Physics students. We are currently studying quantum physics in the classroom and I know that some will go on to study computing in the UK. very helpful - thank you

Hi I am Ankit as a physics student,i think you spread a very useful information for us ,love from India

Thanks for this clear explanation of the current state of quantum computing.

Wow, good timing! IBM just released 1000+ qubits chip this year yesterday!

So amazing… thank you for much clarification of the present picture of quantum computing. Awesome.

Thank you for this video, Tibees.

Amazing. :) It's so magical to hear you...

Beautiful. I appreciate the comprehensive and balanced take on quantum computing. I would like nothing more than to watch Toby and Sabine Hossenfelder have a discussion around quantum computing or really any physics related topic.

Morning, I've got to watch this video over and over again. Way over my head. But I'm interested.

Great discussion of quantum computing.

Fascinating and so clearly explained.

Omg I really loved the video, thanks!

"Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future." -Yogi Berra/Nils Bohr

I think your sound quality has improved. I've had trouble hearing your lovely voice in some of your past videos, which was quite frustrating, as I have very much enjoyed them.

Another fascinating video Tibees! I’m still searching the fourth dimension

Excellent video, I'm trying to understand quantum physics more and this video is so well put together. How did you make the animations? You mentioned they were from Black Opal?

I work for IBM Research, and this was one of the best layperson's explanations of quantum computing I've heard. Excellent work!

Oh yay you’re back 👍😁

Hey Tibees, maybe you do a video on poncaire conjecture and its story, since you are doing a lot of stuff related to higher dimensions, etc.❤

Didn't understand anything Tibees was saying but watched just to hear her soothing voice.

I love your videos Tibees

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks!

Excellent video

What happens when someone plugs a poorly written AI program into the 422 Qbit IBM Computer? (Especially considering the error correction issues?) For the record, I welcome our new computer overloads!

I think you should start an Audio book series, your voice is so peaceful to listen to 😍😍

Has there been any research for developing or understanding how different approaches to measuring a quantum state make it more or less likely to make the state unstable? Like method 1 has a 30% chance of altering the quibit, and method 2 would have a 60% chance of altering the quibit

Thou shalt not mess with Feynman!

I work on a quantum computer every day. Hoping we get to the Quantum Advantage stage soon. :)

Thank you.

"How come cars aren't everywhere?" asked someone when the first cars came out. And it took many more years than the 42 years where you are asking "Why aren't Quantum computers everywhere" for cars to BE everywhere choking up traffic (like in LA) in ways that are unimaginable. Where there are doubts about usefulness, or use cases, this will change. So you can be "correct" by looking out at the world RIGHT NOW by saying they aren't everywhere, that is, until they are everywhere, which would then make you wrong... but, of course, that will be awhile and people will have forgotten. Convenient.

Loved black opal and it's pacing

Merry Christmas ⛄🎁

I can watch this all day

So...using a quantum computer to write "hello world!" Is a bit of over kill?😂

Very interesting!

Id really like to see a conversation between tibees and Lisa Randall...would be cool to have some interviews with math olympiad gold medalist also about jow they learned maths etc

Many kinds of noise cause qubits to decohere, but one particular kind of noise is commonly overlooked. In large classical systems, time-keeping has to deal with "Jitter" - a random unevenness in the rate at which clocks tick. At the quantum level, one has to deal with "Quantum Jitter" - the inherent variation in time-keeping as first explicated by Einstein in General Relativity. We live in a cosmos permeated by gravitational fields and their associated gravitational gradients. Due to gravitational gradients, qubits separated by space are governed by their own local clocks (called "proper time"), and tiny perturbations in proper time cause qubits to progressively decohere - their phase drifts relative to their neighboring qubits, and they drift out of perfect phase-locked synchrony. The decoherence time turns out to be maddeningly brief, meaning only a very small number of computational steps can be completed before cumulative decoherence ruins the synchrony of the ensemble of qubits.

Thx Toby. This is a great video. Since quantum computers require sub-zero temperatures, perhaps they may be best suited to put on future lunar missions to moon's South pole where current electronics can't survive cold temperatures, but quantum computers can still keep working during frigid lunar nights. Just thinking out loud.

Currently watching a series called Devs. All about the possibilities of having a quantum computer.

Not knowing something is the beginning of learning and knowledge.

It seems that electrons are the the particle that is needed for quantum computing. There are also photons that may be the particle needed. Noise is the greatest foe of Qubit Chips. Perhaps there are other particles that are more robust when it comes to noise.

Brady Haran has videos of all the right people to explain what to do to make specific Math-Physics demonstrations of how to answer the question with specific reference-framing, and then there's Scott Aronson and his specifically qualified professional opinions about Quantum Computation.

Qubits are sort of purpose specific but if you are looking for quantum technology I would say that's everywhere. I mean if you have a QLED T.V. you have quantum technology in your house right now. There is a bunch of stuff quantum phenomenon is used for right now. People use it in warehouses to efficiently find the shortest path, in traffic control, weather stations that use quantum annealing. Your bank has a quantum key encryption network setup right now some of your money may have travelled by. Some you may not have heard of include: Radar technology that uses "tagged photons" which is quantum entanglement. LIGO has squeezed light, also entangled pairs shot at a mirror. What about regular L.E.D.s? You are shifting electrons into higher and lower orbits, isn't that quantum technology too? There is radio technology that uses Rydberg atom states that makes for an incredibly wide-range super-sensitive radio-receiver called Rydberg Atom-based Quantum RF Field Probes by folks at NIST. It's everywhere. D-Wave calls their machine a quantum computer, no q-bits but dare I say is that not a quantum computer as well?

Obrigado pelos conteúdos que você produz. E sua voz é semelhante a um delicioso ASMR relaxante. Forte abraço aqui do Brasil.

With all that is going on with AI lately, I wish someone like you could explain how the large language models like ChatGPT work.

I like your videos I study physics when I'm bored. Thank you.

Thank you profusely tibees, for providing awareness on the state of development of quantum computers and an in depth analysis of their function, operation and their potential incorporation into the technological/scientific infrastructure of today's world. Thank you once again, infinitely.

Between chemical and physical engineering, which course to choose? I want something that gives me many possibilities and financial return, in addition to being automation-proof. Initially I intend to do physics as an academic career but I'm in doubt...

nice quantum review

I'm pretty sure that Yuri Manin first proposed quantum computers in 1980.

Silly question: Is it possible to use a kind of known, steady quantifiable noise (like white noise when you're trying to sleep) The compensator described in the video could act like your attention, clearing out that which is predictable and repetitive.

🎊The gap between the digital era and the quantum era is to be verified with intrigue. Noise reduction with "multiple-qubits" mode and dynamic stabilization (temperature protection) are to be noted too. Parts of the "circuit" and whats going on with the state of the qubit continue to fascinate in addition.🐰

What is the song playing in the background? It is very very soothing😌

As far as the noise goes, I know of three things that weren't listed as noise reduction techniques. There might be a reason they werent used but Im curious. In quality water bottles, you have the vacuum to prevent thermal distribution (and the chair noise for the quantum computer) and also a mirror to reflect the UV radiation. Then the last idea would be from microwave. The mesh pattern on the front door of a microwave stops the (relatively) large waves from escaping. Can they be manufactured tightly woven enough to block cosmic rays? If anyone has an answer to this, Id be interested in knowing more. Despite my username, I am a serious physics major working on my associates right now. lol

Do thermodynamic computers next!

I nominate Toby to be the voice of the Quantum AI of our future. Forget Alexa or Siri. She has the most amazingly soothing voice I’ve ever heard.

The universe is a quantum computer.

thanks

7:55 not necessarily. If a classic algorithm is linear but its quantum counterpart is logarithmic, it's worth it

you are my role model

0:35 no way was that 1981. Nor was computing just taking shape. It was shaped, at least at the institutional level, we all had gazillion dollar mainframes.

Please do an episode on Chemical Computing and / or Protein Computing.

Favorite guy ever.

Quantum computers and AI, I am intrigued what they can do in combination, looking for a video on this topic from you.

I gotta ask how do you feel about that one veggie tales video being your most popular one?

See his "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom." It's pretty consistent with SD RAM. Also consider how he approached the T-symmetry of Maxwell's equations as well as sum of histories. I conjecture from this that, no matter how quantum we make computers, they won't be faster than the Shannon entropy engines we have. The universe will always have a trick up its sleeve.

13:25 That's the first step for building a Heisenberg-compensator! Beam me up, O'Brian!

Can u do more videos on Terrence Tao or ramanujan

Toby, I've seen the bad storms you are having there in your country. I hope you are ok and didn't get any damage from it. Sorry about the lives lost. Hope to hear from you soon.

Seeing the title I can answer this. In those days a lot of people made claims of stuff that realistically has not happened.

Q control looks great , I am a local (Syd AU) love to support local business.

Could you put a log fire in the background?

Hehe I’m so lucky you posted on my birthday 😂

The clip at 0:35 is from his lecture on the scientific method, nothing at all to do with quantum computing. Just b-roll?

But can it run Crysis?

Outstanding presentation. Thanks.

Maybe quantam computers are everywhere but they are in the 4th dimension so we can't see them.

Why isn't the quantum PC isolated in a vacuum? I mean, electromagnetic fields would still interact with it, and I ignore whether electricity runs in a vacuum, but if the issue is an interactive issue... of chairs in the lab, isolating the PC makes sense

i feel the answer lay within the double slit example

Title should be "Why aren’t quantum computers everywhere, Dr. Feynman?"

a day after ibm quantum keynote, crazy

Quantum computers can't actually give you a,speed up on all classically exponential problems, just some of them. As far as I know there aren't all that many problems known to have fast quantum algorithms outside of cryptography and simulating quantum mechanics, but I'm not an expert and haven't followed the field closely.
