[@gunnaralv]

This is pure gold Dave. Have been waiting to hear much more from Mr. Morello as I have followed his work for years. He really know how to explain things in a clear manner. Then I saw this video of him showing up in my feed, and it's 1 hour and 45 minutes(!). I think, Wow! Cool. Then I see YOU as the interviewer, and it's the best of two worlds!! Mark his words in the end about you really asking good questions. You both do really great in this video. So interesting. But I still not understand how a quantum computer computes. What in the quantum world does the qbits tap into, to decide what an answer should be? I can somewhat understand that it can only do certain specific things very fast. I not think we will not quite understand this, until we merge these technologies with the theories of Hammerhoff/Penrose. Then we will se quantum leaps in AI, and start to understand our real conciousness.

[@bumbleWeaver]

Example- the Intel Core i7 processor is a bank of 8 processors. 1 processor is used to unite the other 7 processors into what is effectively 7 Computer brains dividing the work load and working in unison to solve. Quantum computing is the same concept of adding parallel computing on the bits ( 1s and 0s) them selves by adding additional bit representatives. Yes this is reinventing the wheel and Yes, unless you are processing fractal equations, there really is no point, because there are MUCH CHEAPER AND EASIER methods. The cooling systems needed for these machines alone, make them... not useful... in most applications. Like owning a Ferrari...

[@MrJdcirbo]

I am no expert on this, at all, but I've been able to gather this from off handed searches and limited understanding: Quantum computers utilize the weirdness of quantum mechanics to process data. Things like entanglement and superposition can be applied to qbits as variables to set up computations. You put the system into very specific quantum states, let it do its quantum things, then measure the system. The big difference from computers as we know them is that once you take that measurement, the entire system snaps into a classical state. No more superpositions and entangled particles. Just ones and zeroes. What you are left with is a set of binary values that can be read. And if you've initialized the quantum system right, you will find certain sets of states will correlate to answers you are looking for (like which values of a hundred variables are optimal for an airplane design, and which two giant prime numbers best multiply into a huge number). Quantum mechanics is all about probabilities. So using That system in a computer will make tasks that are intrinsically probabilistic more accessible. Decryption and optimization are among the chief uses for such a system. Does that clarify things a bit?

[@Kowzorz]

56:00 I'm reminded of orthonormalization in 3D rendering. Every time you rotate using matrices, you induce a little bit of floating point error because of the hardware accuracy limitation so the axes that should be orthonormal end up being slightly askew. So every time you rotate, you make sure your basis axes are perpendicular to each other by picking an axis and forcing the others to align to it. Over time, this prevents the "warping" of the basis axes in the same way it seems like the "clocks" of the quantum buts would want to misalign.
