Million-Qubit Quantum Computer from Intel: Silicon Quantum Dots 

Let me know what you think! :)

Scaling up to a 1-million qubit quantum computer is already extremely hard from an engineering point of view, as this video nicely illustrates. However, getting those 1 million qubits entangled, and more importantly: keeping them entangled long enough to perform meaningful calculations, that is a challenge of an entirely different magnitude. Sadly, most informational videos on quantum-computing fail to properly address this enormous elephant in the quantum room.

This video explains such a complex topic in so simple way. This is by far the best quantum computer video i've ever seen. Thank you Anastasiia for your work.

Thanks for this interesting interview. The algorithms of quantum computers are not easy to imagine due to we are not used to it. The power of this kind of computer is the capability to entangle qubits (to link all their qubits capacity to each other by linear relations) and to keep it away from the classical projection of our univer until quantum computing is completed. When one of the qubit is read, then it determines the state of all the other then we cannot add any other operation to the compute but we have to read all the final state that gave us the solution of the complex operations applied to the qbits system. Each quantum operation can be seen as causality between qubits and it is done into a kind of isolate univer from us that is why we say that it is zero and one at the same time but in reality the value of the isolate qbit are not defined at all for our univer until we touch (read) the qbits ;).

Always fascinating info here.. thanks for what you do to expose us all to this incredible tech! And great to see you being to get amazing guests to help explain some of these things

Super exciting as always to hear about the cutting edge. Very well done on this video Anastasi.

Wonderfully educational and entertaining as always! This channel really fills a niche for people who want to learn about advanced topics in a detailed yet approachable format. Some requests: 1) please switch back to the original (or some other gentle) video transitions: the new effect starting from around January clashes with the serious theme and tone of your content. The glitchy or flashing video transition effect is very visually jarring; it breaks the flow of one's concentration :'( 2) please leave the informative visuals like graphs/diagrams/tables up for longer, instead of the looping promotional animations :)

I could listen to you talk forever. Quality content delivered by the sweetest voice and accent in the history of ever

Super interesting Anastasi! I work on the field (on the superconducting side and algorithms) but I find the semiconductor approach to be very interesting. Keep up the good work!

You're always a pleasure to watch and listen to. Keep up the great work :)

Yet again, another informative and beautifully produced introduction to a very complex and very interesting topic even for laymen like myself. Your thorough engaging manner in explaining these issues, and in this case bringing us another equally interesting and talented speaker who really knows this subject and can articulate it so well makes it all the more worthwhile. Looking forward to your next. Cheers.

I love seeing your enthusiasm and mastery of the subject matter

Hi Anastasia! I just wanted to let you know that this is the most informative and well put together video that I have seen on Quantum Computing. Simply fascinating and refreshing. Also your voice and accent are absolutely amazing. Such a unique blend of culture emanating in a harmonious and pleasing tone. I could listen to you talk ALL DAY. Thank you for inspiring me! Also thank you to Dr. Stefano Pellerano for breaking this cmplicated concept down into a digestible and comprehendible format. Bless you.

Thank you for presenting this video. It is good to see how engineering will be used in 10, 20, 30 years into the future. Thank you.

Your voice is so amazing I just can't stand it. If all my teachers in high school had your voice I would have listened to every single thing they said and aced the classes lmao

Anastasi filosofical question killed me... Me expecting something on the lines of "what's the meaning of life" she goes on to ask "do you find it feasible that in 50 years we will have scaled the quantum chips down in an analogues way to how we scaled down the electronic chips"? ... Awesome !!💜❤️💜❤️💜

I think developing quantum computing is like the chicken/egg paradox in reverse. Quantum mechanics is about the probability of finding the quantum twin of an electron in any one place. If you can do that with enough accuracy, you can harness quantum mechanics to perform quantum computations. But to do that you would need a quantum computer.

Optical vortices can create a void at the center. I don't know if they can create a vacuum, but it may be that we can use optical vortices as a means to produce localized vacuums around these qubit particles to meet cooling needs without all the equipment. Great video, thanks for sharing!

I enjoy your videos. I always learn something interesting on your channel. Keep up the good work!

Great editing and solid content, it very far in the future for sure, what about the current CPU's a little closer to the ones people might use normally?

Great Video, TYVM. You never fail to leave me excited for how this tech is going. Exciting Times :) cannot wait to see the fruits of this technology when mature

A complex matter superb presented. Concise and contemporary. Quantum dots are a fascinating development. Quantum computing will likely improve itself and then provide solutions for a room temperature quantum computer.

Thanks for the really well made video. This was a random hit on yt for me and it was great. Guess I found another channel to add to my watchlist. Also, as a man trying to get in shape for some upcoming metal concerts, I am super jeallous of your hair :-D

I love how you edit your video, nice 🙂👍

The next 50 years will indeed be very interesting the only sad part about it all is I won't be around to see it.

We need topological (meaning in a in-unfoldable loop) qubit system on a chip (I'll name it TOQUSOC). This way, entanglement can be permanently preserved.

Very nicely done, a uniquely pleasant way of presenting complex topics in easily digestible form. Although entangled electron spin strategies are the common current focus, it is the entangled photonic approach which may eventually become the prolific arena of development. There are many (myself included) who see optical computing as the eventual manifestation of the next great paradigm in computation, including optical neural networks, etc. Perhaps a program on this would be interesting?

Awww you have a cute cat, I want to cuddle it :( Oh and good video as always! Keep the good work up!

Thank you for these videos. This information is very useful.

Since the nineties of the last century... And the algorithms, the treatment system, has evolved into something that is difficult to understand. How?! This was done in the time of the earth! Today, life, technology, artificial intelligence... and the human being in this, and the information spread, but! This needs a school in society and a difference in what is now in the whole world - thank you..!

Great content. Thank you Anastasi!

Great production very pro, 10 years from now will be interesting to see if ai has solved any of this,!!

Dr. Pellerano lives in my city! It's amazing to think someone as smart as him lives near me.

The real challenge is implementing the entanglement gates (or two-qubit gates). Since science journalists only want a single number, they latch onto the number of qubits while ignoring everything else. I do not think cryptography will be broken in the next thirty years.

Your work is fascinating.

This would break a cryptography in seconds... but I would just use quantumn computer to build myself a second me.

Great explanation!

I'm impressed! A million qubits! :O 120 qubits was too much for me until I saw this video. Thank you! I really love interviews, keep doing them Miss Engineer :D

Fascinating. do they have an actual working prototype of this Silicon quantum dot chip? I would imagine setting these bits with an RF transmission line could make cross talk a big problem no? I imagine if they are setting the Qbit state with an RF pulse then they also read the bit by measuring the RF Any specifications? How are the qbits coupled or entangled?

Very good info. Love your graphics.

Id like to hear about all the theoretical/plausible application of time crystals including quantum entangled time crystals.

Thank you. Me too, novice in this subject but like to learn more. Hope you could share in the next video on how silicon is able to achieve qbits? Is it by quantum spin? Also how were these chips fabricated? By lithography too?

With such a unique voice, I think you should consider hiring it out for voice overs in animations (in your spare time).

another briliiant video Thanks for the upload!!!!!! :)

Nice video, would you be covering a video on MEMS too including radiation hardened packages for MEMS Thank you

Thank you for asking the right questions to the right people, keep up the great work, Kitty is super cute

Thank you for your passion bring the knowlege about quantum technology status update

Ideas for a video: 1. How long does it take to go from for example the new vtfet design to mainstream use and why, what is the process that takes place from the design to mass production. 2. How the simulation of materials in quantum computers for example will facilitate the development of chip technologies. More generally: how do materials technology play a role in chips technologies?

That was very informative. I have been playing with programming quantum computers. I have studied quantum mechanics and quantum field theory for 45 years. I have also studied quantum string theory by Michiko Kaku.

AWESOME CONTENT!!

Thanks for the explation

Breeding microscopic cats to achieve a quantum computer that only needs to be powered by sun beams shining on a hardwood floor, would be a fun sci-fi fiction.

If most operations are yes or no, what is the practical application of a system that can be both simultaneously? (Perhaps I need to understand computing at a core level?)

Room temperature superconductors seem to be the key to unlocking many different problems in technology today. Superconducting magnets for fusion reactors and radiation shields in space to quantum computing and desalination and so much more.

How much computation would a million Qbits create? Like if they scale exponentially

Thank you for CAPTIONing! It's easy ( just turn it on) and autocart dies about 75-85% correct FOR FREE! I really appreciate your videos and being able to see( the cart) and hear you ! Wado Mvto

Great, thank you!

Quantum computers with a million+ qbits is no joke. It could potentially, or arguably inevitably be the most dangerous invention ever made. It will certainly change the world into something we have never seen before for better or worse.

Imho, the problem with Quantum computing is fundamental physics, making it's relevant in very limited field of use. It's best use in solving quantum level problems, and it's going to be of limited use in classical world we operate.

Nicely put. Quantum computing in the home would be very nice.

Just getting 50 qubits can make it faster than super computers and 2 million qubits?? Damn technology is scary lol

Nice Video !!!

learning a lot, and enjoying your humour. a tiny wish regarding names. the people's names are okay, but the companies are sometimes very shortly visible.

once they start making quantum chips that opperate at 40 to 80 degrees like silicon they will REPLACE all silicone within a few years.

And in your video, these parallelepipedic components can be seen at minute 11:43

May you can do a video on how to reuse older chip-sets for new roles. I spend a lot of time showing people how you can take older IT systems and give them new roles in today world. Just a thought! We today can get our hands on pretty high end hardware that is being sold on Ebay like sites and people want to learn to do new things with old gear... Thinking out side the box! Keep having fun for I know you are having fun (I think)!

Innovation will take over now Nice to meet you Cupid. Wait one day it will fit in your pocket, anticipation, I see everything with Quantum computer's.

Using binary levels we can able to find that logic 1 for 5v and 0 for 0v(TTL). THEN how do they find state of quibit? that means 0 or 1 or 01,10

Parallel Quantum Computing, via superposition is the area that intrigues me.

Wonder if the hardware could be simplified by operating in space, always in sun shadow, with far less power needed to maintain mK temperatures. This would be a relatively light payload & low cost to orbit, although cosmic rays would be a troubling background, perhaps suppressed with an anti coincidence shield. The main question to me is what problems can you solve that traditional architectures can not. There are clear opportunities to ensure a message has not been read, but what other applications are interesting or useful? Super video, thanks for sharing!

I don't understand most of what you teach us, but I'm really digging the steampunk vibe of these quantum computers. Feels like time travel is on its way.

Important message is no.3 below, 1. A fridge in 4 Kelvin is also called a fridge?🤔 Putting me inside of it then I immediately become a stone.😆😅 2. By the time he can create a hand-held quantum computer in our hand, Dr. Stefano may be about to time to retire, I guess.😅 So many challenges ahead, but he must be enjoying it. 3. This leads me thinking of an article of a journal I read almost… no, exactly 20 years ago when I was a university student. A female Danish physicist called Lene Hau in Harvard experimented light alighted into sodium atom cloud, by which made the light slowed down to 17 meters per second, and completely stopped afterwards. I also went to Harvard and met a graduate discussing a bit, just a bit, about it around 5 years ago. This led me to think about how a computer can progress in the future. Although these two discoveries look unrelated, but I think these two discoveries can integrate together to develop an commercial advanced technology or computer. I just rechecked this physicist online and Wikipedia, she also had some articles about quantum computing and qubit. I’m sure Dr. Stefano definitely know this physicist as well, maybe you can discuss something about that with him. I think something high-tech similar with the movie inside Star Trek will become true in the future. My work is unrelated to these high-tech for now, otherwise, I do like to research these fields as well.

Nice !

love your content

Would it be best to build a mega Quantum Computer in Space since its very cold and quiet? (Once we Master Scalability.)

Another fantastic video. Thanks A!

Thank you!

The technology is very exciting!

i think that is better vidoe i can watch in my live because im devlopper and i pruchated your work so thank you so much

This seems to be more about storage capacity rather than processing architecture (actual computing). ?

Can you imagine cloud Q-bit processing on a 5G network guided by Real A.I.. You asked for ideas, look into nuclear diamond battery or N.D.B. Also interesting would be a segment on 5G and new technologies that will be possible thanks to it's latency.

At one point as you were discussing the potential for quantum computing, you were comparing the number of discrete states that the machine could achieve to the number of atoms or particles in our observable light cone. But, and please correct me if I am wrong here, we can only output by sampling over and over again from that large pool of states to look for the most dominant states. That is the processor could be in a super position across 10^100 states, but your sampling output might only sample 10^10 of them. So, from a informatics perspective, the limitation of quantum computers is not a function of the size of the PROBLEM SPACE they can compute IN, but rather of the size of the SOLUTION SPACE that they can output TO.

Lovely voice and narration. Perfect example for.future AI to impersonate.

is quantum computing complex enough to lead to consdciousness?

DWave also build quantum ship for years, what are the differences with Intel ?

I'm not particularly sure about using size and hardware comparisons between early binary computers and qubit computers when it comes to scaling. The two are completely different processes that work differently on a fundamental level. Introducing this method might shrink it a little bit, maybe at best to a bulky desktop size in a distant future, but the fact of the matter remains that it requires things far above and beyond even what the most sophisticated binary supercomputer needs hence why scaling it down to a compact phone-size level is unfeasible with current or even foreseeable future technologies. Room temperature superconductors is the thing holding everything back. The same reason Fusion is so difficult to create among many other extremely complex technologies. And room temperature superconductors only exist in theory but not in the universe (at least in a solid, tangible form that could have practical application) hence why massive, bulky freezers among other things are required to achieve near absolute zero conductivity/superconductivity and that is something classical computing does not require, which allowed it to shrink and shrink as they only had to make transistor manufacturing smaller/more efficient, you can't do that with a quantum computer. It's not the actual process, it's the lack of superconductivity and there's no way around it when it comes to scaling. You can't eliminate or bypass laws of thermodynamics which is the main factor that makes it be so massive and bulky whereas for binary computing the bulk just came because of lack of infratructure and transistor/silicon manufacturing streamlining, but they knew how it works and what exactly to build and plan for. The reason it took so much time to shrink it wasn't because they didn't know, but because it takes that long to get the industry for it built as on a fundamental level there is no difference between a modern CPU and one from the 70's, whereas for qubit computers streamlining it requires technologies we haven't even discovered or conceived of yet. I understand he is trying to imply that eventually we might and will have the technology, but comparing it to how a binary computer evolved is not really applicable in this context. Despite both of them being computers, they are totally apples to oranges. What works for one doesn't work for the other. That's really my only gripe about it. Otherwise - excellent content as usual! Keep up the good work

seen this same exact word for word interview with different actors in 2010

I have a video idea for you. You can make a video for making your own chips. You can make a series of videos for people who want to build cpu architecture from nothing to the finished product.

Have you looked into Photonic Quantum Computing?

ive found your channel by acciedent.... damn your voice is lovely

the mathematical model of programming such a computer must be a huge challenge

Anastasi Just looking at all the RF Microwave plumbing its like Art Very Expensive Art but can I say Wonderful 👏 I have my own Microwave Test Equipment & that is massively expensive, I wouldn't guess how much that Copper Gold Microwave Quantum Computer costs, it's Government Research & very high end companies that could ever provide the funding, even Cryogenics to cool that is costly, I feel I am as curious as a Cat 🐈 in Electronics & Microwaves, For your next maybe we could talk about actual programming of FPGAs ? Devices used etc, Philip

Anastasi! Wonderful technical video! Excellent content! OBTW, has anyone mentioned today that you are incredibly cute and adorable? (Yes, you are very intellectually talented as well.) Cheers from Texas! 🤠

I’m wondering how a megabit QC will help tell us if we’re alone in the universe? (A simple bit of math seems instructive. If intelligent life like ours requires, say, FIVE events with a 1/10^4 probability - e.g. right star, right planet, right distance, needing gas giants in the outer system, needing a large moon for tidal pools, etc - then the odds of intelligent life are 1/10^20. There are only about 10^11 stars in the galaxy, so the odds are good that we’re alone.)

Would the design be the same for all quantum qubits since its so precious, this is perfect for langsatie holmium time crystals that hold up and can do the spin thing you talk of

Can anyone explain for me why a qbit's ability to maintain two states simultaneously makes it far more powerful than a standard logic memory bit?

Nice. I have very little idea of how quantum computing work, and I am a low level S/W developer for many years. But some how I still do not think we will really reach quantum supremacy in this century or make useful application with quantum computing.

Can you cover about analog computers and their possible future?

Thanks

I am curious about how this will affect regular human life. Probably we will be doing completely different things in completely different ways. I also wonder what office chair you have? It looks nice!
