@@ronin6158 Quantum doesn't care about 'consciousness' at all. It cares about interaction. I hate when people think that 'observation' means 'a person looked at it' no, 'observation' just means taking the measurement made a change. Whatever you used to get the data from the particle collapsed the wave function in that moment. Doesn't even matter if the data of the measurement was destroyed before anyone could see it, the 'observation' was taken. It is the interaction that collapses the wave form, not a consciousness.

[@occamschainsaw3450]

@@ThornMu Yeah, people think that we observe things telepathically and not through beaming a ton of particles around. Which at a macro-scale does make some sense - photons don't really do anything much at a macro scale, so we think that seeing is just getting information at the distance with no consequence whatsoever. But the fact that they can't comprehend that at some point even such small particles will have an effect on another particle position / distribution in space does really peeve me.

[@ONRIPRESENCE]

Fun fact: quantum computing hardware contains a lot of analog components, especially the physical qubits themselves. The programmed signals we use to excite a quantum device should more or less match its resonating frequency and thus typically take the form of continuous, modulated sine waves. (In other words, square waves are not suitable to excite a physical qubit, however a compatible digital-to-analog converter may be employed to generate the required resonating waveform). The manipulation of waves in the quantum confined devices, under the right conditions, is what allows one to obtain the interference, entanglement, and superposition for the quantum experiments :) - a quantum hardware engineer who builds quantum computers for a living

Thank you for the video. However, a key detail was omitted: even though a quantum computer can consider all combinations at once (maybe), the combination you actually observe is randomly chosen. No one has yet proven a quantum computer to be equivalent to a Non-Deterministic Turing Machine.

[@WeatherManToBe]

Not an issue. The "results" are pseudo random from quantum computing, but they won't be normally distributed. They will clump on the "real" answer. So for the encryption example, the computer will give you randomly chosen possible prime numbers. But as you run the calculation, more and more of the results will be the same correct prime numbers. So instead of running the calculation once, you have to run it maybe 20 times. Still faster than 500 trillion years.

It is truly amazing how it is postulated there is a "50/50 precent" chance we exist in a simulation when it is quite evident that we exist in a quantum reality. In this world we can create and study such things as quantum computers while being fascinated by how it works exactly. However, at the fundamental level all things in this reality here and anywhere else are sitting in a state of superposition at all times so to speak while being paired with the laws of physics. So, In this regard we can assume that all molecules or micro constituents of macro-objects can, in varying degrees exist in states of superposition but this is more so to propel the constant emergence of parallel universes. This is not in one direction however but in all directions for all things which is why it is ridiculous to think this reality could be simulated. It is constantly spawning and or moving into any number of parallel universes. This is for all things and for every human dependent on a number of complex and varying factors that cannot never be truly accurately predicted. At every moment any "direction" can be taken to move into any new reality. Quite incredible.

If you mean end-user software, then it's not likely going to be running on Quantum computers.

nsa Conclusion In summary, NSA views quantum-resistant (or post-quantum) cryptography as a more cost effective and easily maintained solution than quantum key distribution. For all of these reasons, NSA does not support the usage of QKD or QC to protect communications in National Security Systems, and does not anticipate certifying or approving any QKD or QC security products for usage by NSS customers unless these limitations are overcome.

2:45 Only if you program it this way, if you look at veritasium's maze robot video you will see better methods, but I'm following the logic... 3:40 This makes no sense, calculating all paths would mean many results, you would still need to determine which path is correct (with a classical function), can anyone here explain the logic of this to me?

[@georgecherian9586]

In a normal computer, during each CPU cycle, the program evaluates a possible solution, and it may take n cycles to find the correct one. In quantum computing, due to superposition, all possible solutions are evaluated simultaneously. For example in a for loop where a classical CPU processes one iteration at a time, quantum computing processes every iteration at once. And from what I understand, that could someday help us to use conditionals like 'if solvable, then...' instead of boolean logic

[@arkatub]

​@@georgecherian9586 An "if solvable" condition would be immense and save a lot of time, but I'm still without an explanation of the logic, why isn't there some step-by-step maths example that people can follow to clearly demonstrate how it works? It shouldn't be hard to write some simple code that will make any classical computer chug for long time, then show the quantum version of that code and how it performs the same task quickly. If it is massively parallel and can processes every iteration at once, why is having more qbits important? Why is processing power even a thing?

[@lost4468yt]

​@@georgecherian9586that's just not true though? That's fundamentally not how these systems work. You were tricked by this video that's just IBM marketing.

of course there are optimizations, it's just an analogy. the point they are making is that, in the analogy, quantum is the end-all optimization - an instantaneous bruteforce.

[@richmondantor8000]

the way we write codes now is to start a loop with certain conditions but I am wondering how we will write codes for quantum computers? is it gonna be same but all the computations going to be simultaneous or we write it differently

[@davidblake8612]

Yes, in the maze example, is this just parallelism? Like, you build every path at the same time - but you still have to build them... ?

[@AncientWildTV]

The way we write code for quantum computers is indeed quite different from classical programming

[@Aidiakapi]

You can play with this yourself by using simulators, of course you won't get the performance benefits of Quantum computing, but you can test and run algorithms. For example, Q# is an open-source language that targets Quantum computers.

[@jfbeam]

Get past the alarmist sensationalism... quantum computers already exist - you were standing in front of one! They're currently in the very early stages, and thus super expensive, and relatively primitive. UNIVAC was no different. I expect it will be a decade or more before they're to the scale of "supercomputer rarity", but still rather limited in power. It'll be many decades before we'll have "quantum laptops." Our technology will evolve to adapt to the quantum era, just as we've changed how we do things as computers became more popular and available, and the power of those computers increased. (eg. nobody uses DES anymore, MD5 is effectively useless and SHA1 isn't very far behind.) People have already worked out "quantum safe" crypto - at least in theory...

[@krashd]

We likely won't have quantum-based laptops as quantum will never replace binary, but we will have laptops with a quantum processor alongside the main processor, just like an FPU, but whereas the FPU is part of the CPU a 'QPU' would likely be some sort of expansion card or board containing the cryothermic system necessary for it's operation.

[@Nainara32]

IIRC I don't believe that there have been any published cases that have held up to peer review where quantum computers have outperformed traditional computing. It makes one wonder if hype over quantum computing is a modern form of a SDI/"star wars" program intended to divert Chinese state-directed resources toward wasteful projects.

[@richardconway6425]

Yes, I think that's true. I would go as far to say that some of these 'commercial' quantum computer companies are complete scammers. D-Wave comes to mind, but I think there are others too. The 'hype' is about the imagined potential, rather than any current reality. It's very hard to imagine this happening anytime soon, especially not within a decade. This and agi are the hardest of problems, and I don't expect to see either any time soon. As for your 'misdirection of resources' suggestion, that's an interesting, and plausible idea. For as long as there is the possibility that it might result in a useful computing machine, then we will feel obliged to do it, but there may indeed come a time, when we have satisfied ourselves, that neither we, nor anyone else, is going to be able to do this. At that point, the ruse may continue, for the reason you state. It may even have happened already.

[@wildwizard8884]

You use the example of Star Wars, the proposed missile defence system in orbit, as a case for something that was hyped but turned out to unachievable. Only politics prevented it, so a very bad way of trying to make a point. Another example of 'if it isnt already perfect then it isnt worth inventing' (lack of) thinking.
