It's the first time in my life I understand what a genius is talking about. That guy has a real talent for explaining complex subjects and making it accessible to regular people.
Someone should put him in a room with people less knowledgeable on the topic, and then pay him to explain it to them. I think it could help a lot of people get smarter.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough (Albert Einstein)". This guy is the physical embodiment of that quote. He understands his area of research extremely well to the point where he can convey the information as an abstract concept that a group of people who are not a PHD in math and physics could still understand it. He's not just repeating equations from a text book, he's making this his own.
He is also obviously very passionate about his work, and this is something I always tell younger engineers--find something you're passionate about. I've been in engineering a couple of decades and I've seen a lot of engineers who chase the money, and hey I can't blame anyone--we all would like more money... but doing something you really believe in is rewarding in a completely different (and I feel even better) way.
Yeah same to me, but when i then look into another key feature of a qubit "Entanglement" that two or more quantum particles can be linked toghether even by a large distanse, it all became fuzzy again for me :-)
There are not enough superlatives. He's so fluent in this quantum thing subject that I have the impression I could understand what he says. Thank you Professor and thank you Dave, this is one of the greatest video's on the subject out there. Actually, no, it IS the GREATEST.
No - hopefully not, but not because it is bad, but instead is so amazing good - it would be an insult against Andrea Morello and the work of Dave. Views over a few hundred thousand is more a hint for bad loud screaming "trash" or "i am so better than you", that ugly " look how stupied this... is" Videos, that simple and dangerous " political" solutions videos and that millions of simple hate or "cute cats and kids" videos. This channel and its viewers are not the "normal" ...youtubewatchers...
Best video ever!! You don't see many videos deep diving into quantum computing as this one does. This it's a whole lecture itself. Congratulations Dave!
My god, I finaly get it! Now I understand how the machine works the rest is self explanatory. Truly fascinating and a credit to yourself and professor Morello that you were able to convey such a complex subject in such a simple and easily understood manner. I feel so much smarter after that.
This is an absolutely fascinating topic, and a brilliant communicator delivering it in an understandable way. He really does lay things out in a very straightforward and comprehensible way, especially when dealing with highly abstract and esoteric concepts that people typically misexplain or oversimplify. I would happily watch many more hours of this gentleman describing concepts.
I put off watching this video for quite a while because, well, 1 1/2 hours. But since watching it, I have to say this was one of the most amazing videos I've seen. I learned a lot. What's really fascinating is that Dave kept bombarding Professor Morello with tons of 'really specific' difficult questions, and without skipping a beat, he had an instant and easily understandable answer to all of them. He's also given me an appreciation for why this stuff is so difficult and why quantum computers have yet to become mainstream.
I also left it in the back burner for a bit, but oh boy, this was an awesome watch. When this man says he is a world expert in something, after this video, I fricken believe him...
The insightful understanding of Professor Morello is profound and his communication in such a mix of complex subjects is brilliant - in fact so good that even I absorbed parts of it, and I was also impressed by your intelligent questions Dave. IMHO, Quantum physics and computation are such a foundation to all things, that currently we have little/no idea where they are going to take us.
This is the best explanation on quantum computers I have ever seen. It is a big pleasure watching all the complex details so well explained. Thank you for doing it!
Thank you and Prof. Morello, emphatically, for this video; your channel is the only place where I can get any tangible, real-life information about quantum computing systems. Great stuff.
As a Chemist I only can say wow! How fascinating this topic is. Very good explanations. I am used to general quantum chemistry, but I really need to look deeper into this quantum computing thing. Awesome. I love it.
Great stuff EEVblog! Dr Morello is a pure genius. I discovered his brilliance 10 years ago when Veritsium did a series of videos about quantum theory featuring Dr Morello which showcased his excellent teaching skills. Even though he has a deep theoretical knowledge of he physics he also connects this to the realworld engineering and practically.
Fantastic video. I spent a number of summers in the late 80s working as a student engineer on a 6inch analogue fabrication line for National Semiconductor. Brought back memories especially the corridor of helium pumps.
Fascinating video! I did quantum computing as part of a degree and this really helped visualize the real world functioning of it. Andrea Morello has an excellent ability to communicate such complex subject.
*Absolutely loved this video* ❤❤ I would really like to see more of this, but also about other topics/fields. Thanks to Dave and Andrea for taking the time to make this video together ❤
Bloody Brilliant presentation mate! I learnt more and had stuff I knew explained properly in that 1-1/2 hr than I did in years reading! Thank you very much! Keep talking to Andrea!
This was such an amazing watch! Thank you and Professor Morello so much for this upload. Such an interesting interview! So much insight given and so approachably explained!
For years I have wondered How they start current flow in a superconducting coil. It is so ingeniously simple. I know that was not the main point of the video but I thought it was fascinating to learn.
Fascinating video! Professor Andrea Morello is clearly one of the few people globally who are inventing and moving the entire field of quantum computing forward. So his setup has 4 qbits, 8 output possibilities, and requires 7 phase coherent ~40 GHz signals to use. He says we need 100-1000 really well behaved qbits to do something practical like medicine molecular research. Each well behaved qbit will have some sort of triple redundancy, so either 1000 raw qbits -> 333 usable qbits, of for 1000 usable qbits we need 3000 qbits. I don’t quite catch which it would be. Each of those will need its own 40 GHz x the number of levels per… plus all the classical electronics like FPGAs and compute and storage….. a true functional quantum computer like that would be massive! Seeing how stable and repeatable his silicon based setup is, I can see this actually being possible in the not too distant future! It seems like one of the remaining challenges is designing and building the system around all the qbits. RF, power, FPGAs, refrigeration, magnets, etc.
That was awesome and having a semiconductor background I 'got' a lot of it for the first time so kudos Andrea for his explanations. What I cant fathom is how any of this converts to putting in a calculation and getting a result out that is useful, still one of the best I've ever seen though would love to have seen more like the Ion Implanter for instance....cheers !!
It doesn't translate into anything sensible. You have to figure out a trick, every time. It's not general purpose in the slightest. Quantum computers extract money from investors, nothing more. Nothing has ever been done with a quantum computer. Literally nothing, ever.
I really admire the years of study and experimentation that were condensed in this video, he surely knows all the quirks and details that go on inside the quantum computer, really bleeding edge of research right there.
Great update with wonderful Andrea Morello! You asked yourself relevant questions that helped understand a little bit more - depending on your background in electrical/electronic knowledge. Andrea's explanations are so valuable and erase confusion. Very instructive 90 minutes. Thank you very much. What I appreciate the most: quantum computers do need very very good classical computers to reduce errors. Finally the best and useful point of this stunning post. Btw Aussie research has nothing to envy other nations'. Good news Aussies!
Extremly informative and as always Morello is a diamond to watch as he pours out his practical and theoretical experience and knowledge. He could be honoured with a better thumbnail though :)
I worked in a research wafer fab for 13 years and continued working on High vacuum systems for years more after that with TMP's / cryopumping and a lot more ... I really found this video fascinating ... thanks Dave.
3rd decade of AMAZIN quantum computers and very oddly they do stuff but they don't do stuff. Excelent proffession to get into, no results required. More talk about refrigeration please.
Damnn this was so intriguing, one of the best videos I have watched on this channel. From start to finish in one go, every second of it. Didn't even feel like a 1.5 hrs long video, felt like watching a movie. Prof. Morello really has a way of explaining things in a logical manner that is easy to grasp
Thank you for this absolutely amazing video Dave, and thank you for the absolutely beautiful explanations Andrea! It's a perfect mix of popular science and advanced discussions. I actually learned a lot. Hope you continue this series, dream team!
The focus hunting was driving me insane haha, was begging for some manual focus. Or a higher f-stop. Camera stuff aside, WOW this is super interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Excellent video. I've been looking for an in depth video of a quantum computer. The good look at all the hardware/explanations was awesome!!! Nice explanations of how it works too.
Very high-density and comprehensible knowledge. Mostly about HVAC science, of course, at lsast at first. But I'd love to take a course from Prof. Morello.
So interesting when you think about all the tricks scientists have to come up with to overcome different problems. Just to come up with such a simple solution for shorting the superconducting magnet coil, using a second superconductor as a "circuit breaker" by heating it above superconducting temperature. So simple yet so effective.
This video should retitled "Real Quantum Computer, No Quantum BS". Finally I understood why so called powerful quantum computer isn't here yet. Keep it up work on guys 👍🏼😁
Interesting video. I always wondered how they measured temperature for Quantum Computers and wondered what kind of thermometers they used. Instead the thermometer is a resistor, and you measure the resistance. Great video to watch too
Hey I want to ask I'm 18 old I still studying in highschool anyway I'm bad at math but I need to improve my math skills and I need courses what should I learn for computer science engineering and any math for technology pls 🙏🏻❤
54:30 - this reminds me of "folding at home". IDK if it's still a thing but it makes me see how classical computing just can't really give you specific answers beyond brute forced simulations to see what comes out the other side
I get that the graph at 28:00 has a lot going on, but shouldn't there be a zero activity zone around the 0,0 spot? With no charge added and no charge drained I would expect no activity unless there is residual charge that isn't accounted for
