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.

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.
@PhthaloJohnson9 ай бұрын
Analogue technology is something people are interested right now. Back in the day, people wanted a general purpose machine because that was more commercially viable. It was easier to design digital systems that could be manufactured as scale, rather then a ton of analogue components. Now, many companies like google are perfectly happy to use a less general and precise machine and get the performance and power efficiency in exchange. Perhaps in a few more decades when analogue is so old and outdated, it becomes cool again for the Elons of the world to invest in something like that.

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.

"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.

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.
@adarshmohapatra505810 ай бұрын
No way, is this real? That sounds too good to be true. I made a program in python to solve a sudoku using exactly the method you said (I just made a brute force solution). And time complexity wise it's pretty inefficient, cause I go through every cell, checking what numbers can be filled in it. And if any cell can be filled with only 1 number, I fill it with that number. It does it in under a second for the regular 9x9 grid, but would probably take way more time for bigger sudokus. . But what you're suggesting is that it will keep track of all the cells using it's qubytes?? And collapse them all together? I'm not sure how that would exactly work and it sounds too good to be true, but if it works that would be a blessing. . Also something like solving a sudoku would take almost a 100 qubytes, which I don't think any current quantum computer can do right now, right?
@PhthaloJohnson9 ай бұрын
@@adarshmohapatra5058 You cannot simply collapse the qubit state like that, you need some kind of locking mechanism. You can do the same thing using conventional parallel programming over channels. Quantum computers cannot magically reduce the innate time complexity of an algorithm. They can only improve performance up to a linear factor. Wikipedia lists some algorithms where this factor is significant enough for quantum machines to make sense.

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?

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.
