The Hype Over Quantum Computers, Explained

In October 2019, Google made a big announcement. It announced its 53-qubit quantum computer named Sycamore had achieved ‘quantum supremacy.’ That’s when quantum computers can complete tasks exponentially more quickly than their classical counterparts. In this case, Google said its quantum machine completed a task in 200 seconds that would have taken the world’s most powerful computer 10,000 years to complete. IBM, another major player in quantum computing, took issue with the findings. Either way, it was a big milestone in quantum computing, and it’s leading to a lot of hype in the field. Here’s how quantum computing works, and how it could change everything from Wall Street to Big Pharma and beyond.

[@Johnrich395]

No they didn't, because I still don't get it. I know that it's supposed to be "better", but I have yet to understand WHY. If a Qbit can be both 0 and 1, how do you determine if it should be a 0 or a 1? Classical computing is 1101 in and 10 out, from what they said Quantum is XXXX in and XX out. You don't know what your answer is, what your input is, or whether the output is correct because what if the Qbit was supposed to be a 1 and it decided to be a 0? Obviously it is giving something that is a reasonable output, so I assume that a quantum computer is "good", but it hasn't been explained properly yet.

MALAY SUBTITLES Part 2 of 4 04:40 Perubahan suhu berdekatan dan gelombang elektromagnetik 04:43 boleh menyebabkan mereka kacau. 04:45 Dan kemudian ada suhu kerepek kuantum 04:47 diri mereka. Mereka perlu disimpan pada suhu yang lebih sejuk 04:50 daripada ruang antara bintang, hampir dengan sifar mutlak. 05:00 Salah satu prinsip utama fizik kuantum disebut 05:02 superposisi. Itu bermaksud zarah subatom seperti 05:06 elektron boleh wujud dalam dua keadaan yang berbeza pada masa yang sama 05:09 masa. Itu dan masih sukar untuk komputer biasa 05:13 untuk mensimulasikan mekanik kuantum kerana superposisi. 05:17 Tidak, hanya pada awal tahun lapan puluhan beberapa orang 05:19 ahli fizik, seperti Richard Feynman mempunyai yang luar biasa 05:23 cadangan bahawa jika alam memberi kita pengiraan itu 05:28 lemon, baik, mengapa tidak membuatnya menjadi serai? 05:30 Anda mungkin pernah mendengar atau membaca penjelasan ini tentang bagaimana a 05:33 komputer kuantum berfungsi. 05:35 Komputer biasa atau klasik berjalan menggunakan bit. 05:38 Bit boleh menjadi 1 atau sifar. 05:41 Komputer kuantum, sebaliknya, menggunakan bit kuantum 05:44 atau hasta. Cubits boleh berupa 1 atau sifar atau kedua-duanya atau a 05:48 gabungan keduanya pada masa yang sama. 05:51 Itu tidak salah, tetapi hanya menggaru 05:53 permukaan. Menurut Scott Aaronson, yang mengajar komputer 05:56 sains dan pengkomputeran kuantum di University of Texas di 05:59 Austin. Kami memintanya untuk menjelaskan bagaimana pengkomputeran kuantum 06:02 sebenarnya berfungsi. Baiklah, saya mulakan dengan ini. 06:05 Anda tidak pernah mendengar peramal cuaca anda mengatakan bahawa kami tahu ada 06:08 kemungkinan negatif 30 peratus hujan esok. 06:11 Betul. Itu tidak masuk akal, bukan? 06:13 Adakah kemungkinan sesuatu berlaku, seperti biasa, antara 0 06:16 peratus dan 100 peratus. 06:18 Tetapi sekarang mekanik kuantum berdasarkan nombor yang disebut 06:22 amplitud. Amplitud boleh positif atau negatif. 06:27 Sebenarnya, mereka boleh menjadi nombor kompleks yang melibatkan 06:30 punca kuasa dua negatif. 06:32 Jadi qubit adalah sedikit yang mempunyai amplitud untuk menjadi sifar 06:37 dan amplitud lain untuk menjadi satu. 06:40 Matlamat untuk komputer kuantum adalah memastikan 06:42 amplitud yang membawa kepada jawapan yang salah saling membatalkan. 06:46 Dan para saintis membaca output kuantum 06:48 komputer dibiarkan dengan amplitud yang menuju ke kanan 06:51 jawapan apa sahaja masalah yang mereka cuba selesaikan. 06:53 Jadi bagaimana rupa bentuk komputer kuantum 06:56 dunia? Komputer kuantum yang dibangunkan oleh syarikat seperti 06:59 Google, IBM dan Rigetti semuanya dibuat menggunakan proses 07:02 dipanggil superkonduktor 07:04 Dan di sinilah anda mempunyai cip yang biasa 07:08 cip komputer dan anda mempunyai sedikit gegelung wayar di 07:13 anda tahu, yang sebenarnya cukup besar oleh 07:16 piawai hasta. 07:17 Anda tahu, hampir cukup besar untuk dilihat dengan 07:19 mata kasar. Tetapi anda boleh mempunyai dua keadaan kuantum yang berbeza 07:24 arus yang mengalir melalui gegelung ini bahawa 07:27 sepadan dengan sifar atau satu. 07:30 Dan tentu saja, anda juga boleh memiliki kedudukan super 07:33 dua. Kini gegelung dapat berinteraksi antara satu sama lain melalui 07:37 sesuatu yang disebut perintah Josef. 07:39 Jadi mereka dibentangkan dalam susunan segi empat tepat dan 07:43 yang berdekatan boleh bercakap antara satu sama lain dan dengan itu menjana 07:48 keadaan yang sangat rumit ini, yang kita panggil terjerat 07:50 menyatakan, yang merupakan salah satu perkara penting dalam pengkomputeran kuantum 07:55 dan cara kubis saling berinteraksi adalah 07:58 dapat diprogramkan sepenuhnya. 07:59 OKEY. Oleh itu, anda boleh menghantar isyarat elektrik ke cip tersebut 08:04 kubus mana yang harus berinteraksi antara satu sama lain di mana 08:07 masa. Sekarang pesanan untuk ini berfungsi, keseluruhan cipnya 08:12 diletakkan di dalam peti sejuk evolusi. 08:14 Itu ukuran almari secara kasar. 08:17 Panggilan itu berlaku sekitar seratus darjah di atas 08:19 sifar mutlak. Di situlah anda mendapat superkonduktiviti 08:22 yang membolehkan bit ini berkelakuan sebentar sebagai hasta. 08:32 Dan makmal penyelidikan IBM di Yorktown Heights, New York, the 08:35 syarikat teknologi besar, menempatkan beberapa komputer kuantum 08:38 terpaut ke awan. Pelanggan korporat seperti Goldman 08:41 Sachs dan JP Morgan adalah sebahagian daripada Q Network IBM, di mana mereka berada 08:45 boleh bereksperimen dengan mesin kuantum dan mesinnya 08:47 bahasa pengaturcaraan. 08:49 Sejauh ini, ini adalah cara bagi syarikat untuk membiasakan diri dengan kuantum 08:51 pengkomputeran dan bukannya menjana wang darinya. 08:53 Komputer kuantum memerlukan lebih banyak hasta sebelumnya 08:56 mereka mula melakukan perkara yang berguna. 08:58 IBM baru-baru ini melancarkan lima puluh tiga komputer padu yang sama 09:01 saiz sebagai pemproses sycamore Google. 09:03 Kami fikir kita sebenarnya memerlukan puluhan ribu, 09:07 ratusan ribu qubit untuk mendapatkan perniagaan sebenar 09:10 masalah. Oleh itu, anda dapat melihat banyak kemajuan dan 09:13 dua kali ganda setiap tahun atau mungkin sedikit lebih cepat adalah apa 09:16 kita perlu membawa kita ke sana. Itulah sebabnya 10 tahun keluar, di 09:19 paling tidak.

Enrique dfarq.homeip.net/what-does-ibm-do-now/ No. IBM makes, services, and supports minicomputers and mainframes, which are relics of the past that are still very useful for many applications. IBM does NOT make Macs. They DO use Macs in their own offices, because most of their office staff prefer Macs to Windows based systems. IBM sold their microcomputer business to Lenovo, which is now the world's #1 microcomputer company. www.pcmag.com/commentary/334149/10-years-later-looking-back-at-the-ibm-lenovo-pc-deal The first computers I ever used were IBM PCs running PC DOS with 8086 and 8088 CPUs.

I think these qubits actually are in three different spots in three different forms of matter (liquid, solid and gas). These states are going in and out of our observable dimension (why it can be in multiple spots at once in three forms). Since it’s in all forms it allows it to form to whichever is needed to perform that task at hand. When we freeze or keep the qubits at almost absolute 0 only slows down the process of it going in and out....

[@kazmroz8948]

The real hype is that qbits ultimately depend on waves, to exist, before they can even be used to do anything. But waves were first observed in the 1600's, at the macro scale when Huygens became the first to attributed waves to the scale of light. But in the 1960's, those macro scale waves were all analyzed to be found to be artifacts. Ask any marine engineer. So Huygens attributed an artifact, to the scale of light and that is what has been used until the 1920s when that became a problem, or did not work in the 2 slit experiment. So that was added to by wave-particle duality to try and make waves work; but notice that the waves (known to be an artifact) was still in that mix. That still did not work so it was converted to wave-function. But that also did not work, and notice that waves, an artifact, was still in that mix despite being known to be an artifact. That is why waves interfere with qbits, both of which depend on an artifact, thereby nullifying each other by being dependent on that artifact. An artifact can't be made to be a non-artifact or into a mechanism by using math or anything else.
