About this video
It's amazing what computers can do just by flipping bits back and forth from one state to the other. But what if that's not enough?
What if we take computers and make them quantum? Up until now, we've made computers faster by giving them more memory and more processors. It's like filling a giant warehouse with more and more workers, each of whom can only do one task at a time.
Quantum computing is like tearing down the warehouse and building a new one. In the new Quantum warehouse, each worker is a multitasker capable of not just flipping bits on or off, but holding them in carefully suspended, indeterminate states while coordinating instantaneously with one another.
This video discusses how quantum computing can change the world, and how it presents challenges we haven’t even begun to imagine.
