5/ Here's how Google explains quantum computing:

🚨 Google's new Quantum Computer completes the task in 6 seconds that would have taken one of the world's best computers 47 years. Quantum computers can change what we can build and how we understand the world. Here's everything you need to know:

1/ This is huge. The big tech around the world is in a race to build this technology.

2/ National Security Agency quotes: "A sufficiently large quantum computer, if built, would be capable of undermining all widely- deployed public key algorithms."

3/ Michio Kaku on the relationship between quantum computing & UFOs.

4/ First, let's understand the difference between Classic Computer and Quantum Computer in a simple way:

6/ Google's new computer uses something called "qubits" to do its calculations. Qubits are like the building blocks of a quantum computer. The more qubits a computer has, the more powerful it is. Google's new computer has 70 qubits.

7/ Google is currently focused on using it to solve optimization problems, finding the best outcome given a set of data. For example: finding the best flight path to visit a set of places you’d like to see.

8/ There is an ongoing race between countries and big companies on achieving “quantum supremacy.” And Google is claiming to have achieved “quantum supremacy” with their new breakthrough.

9/ Google's competitor IBM also recently succeeded in building a quantum computer.

10/ Diagram illustrates how start-up activity & investments in quantum computing have skyrocketed since 2015.

11/ This breakthrough could revolutionize many fields, from drug discovery to climate modeling, financial modeling, and even artificial intelligence. The potential is enormous.

Interesting. This is a quantum explanation, it tells me everything and nothing at the same time.

No offense but this is a pretty awful video for actually conveying any meaningful information about quantum computers. I'd like to see something like, how are they programming these, or how they actually encode all the information in superposition in the qubits. Thank you friend.
