I am kinda speechless. So, Thanks to all of you for your hard work. The Scientists, Video Makers and UNSWTV in general. It is so nice to see that there are always people driving us forward to a brighter Future: Love from Germany and all the best.

[@elnurvl]

Thank you! Thank you very much for your contribution! So excited to see commercial quantum computers based on this model which are true game changer and completely different kind of devices. Wish I had a chance to have a tiny part on these innovations.

[@RichHandsome]

Congratulations guys! Keep up the revolutionary work! Love from Canada

[@sshine1154]

quantum computers + fusion energy will be a new era in human history

[@gregandark8571]

Putler is coming to nuke Humanity soon,so pls,STOP DREAMING.

[@jp5125]

The way Andrea explains things is awesome, I wish he was my physics teacher. I'm still struggling to find an explanation or example of how qubits can be used programmatically to solve problems though :(

[@andreamorello7425]

There is a very brief description of how the quantum search algorithm works, in this video. Of course I would need way more than 3 minutes to really "explain it", but that's a start :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpLRh4GZZdeSbtE

[@TheRealMrLaserCutter]

I read in an article on the same topic that a prototype of this idea will be proved out in 2022. What are the major hurdles preventing this idea being manufactured sooner? What about the other quantum computer properties like coherence time or noise that may need error correction? How many of these qubits would you need for quantum supremacy?

[@mister0zorg]

Thanks to share with us!

[@TurboEncabulat0r]

You absolute champions. Looks like Australia will be the new superpower.

[@Panglos]

George Rhodes demonstrates speed of hyperbole to match the speed of a quantum computer.

[@benshums]

Panglos that's witty af!

[@LiGhTenn1]

pretty sure the USA is leading in the subject, this guy just talks about it and no one understand him. the main leaders are D-wave by far to any competitor, IBM-Q is coming up now with something amazing as well. Microsoft is researching intel is trying to build something in that use normal processor and quantum.

[@fayvicteaurieuce1625]

D-Wave is Canadian you bloody moron. So to rephrase your comment: pretty sure Canada is leading in the subject. Apart from that: D-Wave quantum computers aren't conventional quantum computers.

[@basaltnow]

Please make a longer video, explaining details, give a virtual youtube lecture please. What you show here would be a break through in quantum computing, it looks like I go shopping for a "quantium One" next year at the CBIT.......really...I don't think so. Please explain, the flip flop seems to be the perfect silicone implementation of real qbits in a chip without cryogenics and stuff.

[@Spiderlanky]

Well isn't that something amazing!!

[@curiouscuriosity9167]

Parabéns Dr Tosi: merece o premio máximo de física. Ficamos no aguardo.

[@benkao8253]

How can someone who is interested in this field work with you or other similar quantum computing innovators?

[@nihao123456ftw]

now this is interesting!

[@Ilidanion]

what about error correction?

[@juanjoseayala7614]

The structure and architecture of the leaf of a plant should be used.

[@lalumierehuguenote]

How much qubits have you had working together? What's the size of a qubits pair?

[@FirstnameLastname-dm2xl]

If particles can be in these spooky superpositional states then how do they manipulate them? And are Quantum computers tapping into a field of consciousness and may become self aware ? :D

[@Joopfyi]

Hor Net I think consciousness is only for a couple kinds of species, entities if consciousness, as we know it, is the right term... hmm? I dont think flowers for example have consciousness like humans. So same would be for a quantum computer. Its kind of a “life” a living thing but not with consciousness. Unless it would be able to actually store and learn itself like ‘aging’ then yes I think. Image if these things could age like living things on this planet. Hahaha damn I really dont know... lol

There is too much videos in my channel about civil engineering

[@ryanclark-lf8db]

you are a credit to the human race, thank you.

[@archersterling4044]

Amazing

[@CharlesVanNoland]

Amazing!

[@TheFabianR1]

Muy interesante!

[@1_McGyver]

I wonder if it works at room temperature. Currently the qubits chips need temperatures close to absolute zero.

[@andreamorello7425]

No, this needs near-zero temperatures too. The video below gives a brief explanation of the reason why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJPSq3-biN2WkJY

[@IslandCave]

That's what I was wondering, I see Andrea Morello posted an answer to that.

[@masbro1901]

We are lacking of sleep dude..

[@gtrmcs]

Does it requires same absolute zero temperature to control system #justasking. i have just started looking into quantum computer

[@nathangeco]

coisa linda

[@James-ub3zo]

pulling the electron away from the nucleus and then oscillating the electron position around its equilibrium. Sorry i am a little dumb... its this Quantum entanglement ?

[@eirikrhinnraui4098]

Don't think so.

[@andreamorello7425]

Yes and no. We can entangle the electron with the nucleus by doing this, but the point here is that we want to encode quantum information in the *combined* state of the electron and the nucleus. So, together, they make just one quantum bit, which we call the "flip-flop qubit". But, as we explain in the video, this special flip-flop qubit has the property of interacting with another flip-flop qubit at pretty long distance. That means we can entangle two of them over nearly a micron separation. That's huge! B-) If you're interested, I have some other videos where quantum entanglement is explained in some detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5vHeoB4hLx2jdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/gILSk62LpsaFarc

[@James-ub3zo]

Quantum is the observations on the Atomic Level? Like Micro is observations at the nano Level? How are you making atomic level phosphorus chips? do you have a video of the chemical process? Are you using a black phosphorus ? Maybe Borophene? Sorry for the Retarded Questions.

[@eirikrhinnraui4098]

But can it play Doom?

[@Ducazor]

The RedCross Logic wasn't "but can it run crysis?" :))

[@ThatBastardSnow]

It will be the DOOM of all if us.

[@avelione]

Naah, just crysis ;)

[@TheSkepticalIdealist]

It can play it in every possible universe

[@RishankKumar]

dosent matter we will install windows on it

[@masbro1901]

his dark circle under his eyes is like mine , ^^,

[@spok9180]

Too noisy, bits will collapse

[@KevinP32270]

epic!!!

[@alejo7577]

Shut up and take my money!!!!!!!!

[@_sky_3123]

Awsome,,,, I have so many ideas on how to use the Quantum Computers.... ( No more lag on my multi player games buhahahahahaah)

[@vyli1]

you do realize, that processing power is not a limit in multiplayer games? The network connection introduces the lag, because of the amount of data being transfered via the internet globally and because even with optical cables, where information travels at, well, speed of light, that still means, the information has to travel for some time, it will never be an instantaneous process.

[@_sky_3123]

With quantum computer you could do "Quantum Indexing" (In short: You could send Gb, or even Tb data through a connection of meager few Kb) ....and that my friend would be quite helpful in online games. (and a lot of other things)..... Science Fuck yea!!!

[@vyli1]

what is that quantum indexing? How is it implemented? I wasn't able to find anything online. I think you're probably misrepresenting something you've read, or someone wrote something misinterpreting some science article and you've read that.

[@_sky_3123]

I just call it "Quantum Indexing" not sure if it even has any name yet. In computer science you have something called "Indexing". It is a way of compressing LARGE amounts of data. But it takes a lot of processing power (Almost like brute force hacking), Something Quantum computers are excellent for. Now, if your own computer had quantum processor, it could both compress/index the data. Few Gb in few Kb.. You put it online. Other computer with quantum processors can now download it and "extract" in instant, (as it is basically just breaking a code). :)

[@vyli1]

No, no, no, you're misunderstanding indexing. You can't compress large amount of data into small amount.. Like.. you can't compress gigabytes of completely different data to just a few kilobytes. It comes down to entropy. If you have stored into memory gigabytes of just the bit value 1 (gigabyte of ones), then yes, you can compress that, because the entropy of the information is very low. However, if you have random sequence of ones and zeros stored in 1GB, there's no way to compress them into few kilobytes without losing some information. Indexing is not in any way related to data compression actually. Indexing is used in databases with huge amounts of data where you want to find the one piece of information very quickly. For example you have a database of names and birthdays. And it's a huge database. You could index the database by first letter of the name. Or first two letters. Or first three letters of the name. Etc. Then, later, when you're looking for a single name, you don't have to start looking through every record in the database, you simply look at the first few letters of the name, locate the index corresponding to those letters (which should be instantaneous operation) and then search only database entries under that index. Hopefully there's only a few of them, so the search is very quick that way. And that's what indexing and how it helps to look for information in large amounts of data. However that only works if you already have all the information, not just part of it and you're looking for one specific piece of information within it. When it comes to networking, you need to send all the information that is needed. By the way, when it comes to multiplayer games, they don't send out large chunks of information. The information is compressed to small chunks, so that they don't affect the experience. But that's not what introduces lag into the game. The lag can be introduced either by your local machine/router, or servers of the game having to process too much information at once, and of course the lag is introduced throughout the process of the information travelling from your computer over the internet to the server, because multiple network components along the way might be overburdened by traffic from other users.

[@charliemagpie]

At first I thought it was a Russian scam !! .. very impressive. Oi Oi Oi

[@MrSANHELLO]

Is not it easier to create a quantum computer based on synthetic DNA?

[@einsteintoday752]

I'm sorry Sir but silicon is not seem efficient for used as a hardware of Quantum computer. Because it have not good ability to preserve superposition for long time beside this it also damage the probabilistic results during measurements. For quantum computer we must use a hardware components that are near to the quantum realm. I think in semiconductors quantum dots are much efficient then the sillicon.
