Quantum Computing - Hype vs. reality | Field Notes 

Read more about Quantum Computing → goo.gle/quantumAI

Feels like you are trying to create more hype instead of describing what quantum computers are like today

For a video called 'hype vs. reality' this video has a lot of elements from the quantum computer hype playbook.

"very niche applications" is the keyword. so far there are maybe 15 algorithms found for quantum computers after like 60 years of research

Surely a giga corporation with a monetary insentive to produce hype will give a good faith and accurate portrayal of what is hype and what isnt!

Quantum computers will always be a decade away from the present ...

Ok got the hype part. Where's the second part?

All this technology and no one has fixed the Bookmarks bar in Chrome closing every time you move a bookmark! 😉

I salute to all the researchers researching quantum computing in Google

I have this one guy at watercooler who keeps bringing up decoherence limit or whatever, i think he is convinced that as size of quantum system grows, decoherence grows exponentially (same rate as projected theoretical computational power) and chance of getting a useful result becomes as unlikely as getting one from a classical computer. He is convinced this undiscovered law of nature exists. And I start to see his point.

this video is meant to bias you more toward hype. A brief outline: 1. we start from "we have a quantum computer under reserch" 2. we evolve toward "in 10 years we will have the first error corrected quantum computer with 100k qubits" 3. we present cool applications with catchy names like "fusion", "RSA crack" etc. trying to shadow at best classical computing 4. finally the cycle repeats since we were wrong 10 years ago as we need 1 million qubit that we will develop in the next 10 years. I can understand the marketing behind this, but hype vs. reality will be really discussed when you will finally talk about the sate of the art technology that quantum computers are using, rather than jumping straight to the applications that there might be in 10 years. To understand reality I need to understand decoherence time of transom qubit ( why don't you explain to the audience this, with some Ramsey fringe plot), how it get worst as we scale the quantum processor, how we need to cool down the environment to insane temperatures, and so on. But yes, keep inflating the ballon. With this comment I don't want to be disrespectful toward physicists that are working on this as I know that they are doing their best, but my point is that companies are a bit delusional on this topic. Only who is able to understand, face and talk about problems can takle them with cunning. But now a days it is more important to attract money rather than minds.

So... It's both useful & useless at the same time? Or is it all hype but also all real in its superposition?

Wow the entire time i was watching this i didnt know the video was made by google until the end. Very cool

Hype > Reality in the video. Precise technical Videos on technology are relatively scarce on youtube, but the good ones is like priceless information

I am surprised the google research channel doesn't have more subs. This is very good.

Man I really really wish I could work in a team like this.

Really, this will be very good news for the researchers. Normally a code run in classical computer needs huge time and High gPU. But I hope quantum computer can solve this problem. Thanks to Google.

Should have talked about CAT qubits and LDPC codes. Once they’re instituted it’ll make processing much more capable

Google makes such interesting videos... Man I am hooked in !

Q: «Does quantum computers even exist yet?» A: «Gulp… ehhhh… well… yea kind of»

Will Google help me in this topic where I mean when researching on the same project. I mean how do I get into it

Can't wait to see what exciting new services google builds and subsequently abandons around this technology

Hype vs. reality? i would say hype.

This's just like creating gold from metals in the era of alchemists.

I wonder when Google will drop the project

I think ai will soon surpass the need for quantum computers.

Does anyone in the fusion field think that Inertial Confinement, i.e. shooting lasers at Hydrogen pellets, ever will scale up to real power plants???? I am VERY (very, very) doubtful about this. Tokamaks, and Magnetic Confinement is currently the most advanced and most favoured technique - I am still not sure we can do it, but IF we can do commercial fusion (in 30-50 years) it will be in tokamaks. Is QC helping here?

I think this will be in our lives in 25 years . I think AI and machine learning will actually propel our current computers to the next step . 😊

Which degree should i pursue to become machine learning quantum computing??? Help

Can someone tell me the name of the background music please?

Like Graphene, it's always one decade further

Intriguing that we are already using the term "classical computers."

Essentially hype then

Since we already have been in cloud computing, unless it is cheaper to be manufactured, we can just share the quantum power computing to people in need by selling the service. That's what I thought. Though AI, ML, and now quantum computer technology around, we still way far from become a super duper computing god. There will be another invention beyond those marvels that we already found. 🤓

Just imagine a gaming quantum computer...

After AI, Google is now creating hype for quantum computer

Is BQM = NP could become the next question!

Maybe, it would be a good idea to start calling these machines QUMPUTERS. Much better than the tongue twister 'Quantum Computers'!

Feel like very little advancement form Google Quantum since Martinis left.

is not IBM has the largest QC with over 1000 bits?

I don’t believe it until I see it

One day quantum computer will be in our wrist watch ⌚

Sound quality

The real question is, can it run JavaScript? Ship 10 gigs of libs to the browser lets goooooo

Why did they not mention the fact that quantum computers can be used to break almost all forms of modern encryption

But can it run Crysis?

What? quantum equations in a thermonuclear plasma?

I figure this is good news. So the idea is to make a lab identify its exact location on a micro-level, then entangle with it once the Qcom is up to the task and see if people in the future doing that research, possibly in the same lab, with all the location information can communicate with the "past" present. I figure they could collapse the state and present read outs on-screen but with the limitation of the quantum state and the algorithm or what the system is looking for will possibly get lost in noise. So the best way may be able to write it on some kind of, got bored explaining my thing... Ps like I always say, lol, a meaningful calculation lowers entropy locally.. Good Luck God Speed

Zero and One in the same time is a mess. Qbit is a probability.

can it run cryces thogh

fastest chip for AI in PC Market is RTX 4090.

I would be interested to see those quantum mechanical equations at 3:00 and dig deep there because they sound like differential equation forms for which analog computing is best suited for this type of real time modeling of the fundamental physics. A typical analog computer example involves wiring up an analog computer to model a car's suspension by modeling the differential equations.

But can quantum computers run Crysis? (Anyway, May Allah (S.W.T.) guide us and bestow upon us His blessings. Ameen.)

I just them to break SHA encryption.

Would, should and could are still the words I hear when describing quantum computers. A quantum algorithm must first be developed and to my knowledge that's never been done. At this point, quantum computers are still promising a lot but deliver nothing. I don't see how a qubit can be more useful in computations than a traditional bit. Nobody can yet show it's true.

Is Google using IONQ research or are they doing their own computer?

This video doesn't contain much hype (except stating that we'll have functional error free quantum computers by the next decade, that bit is a bit too hyped) unlike the comments are saying.... Can we have a view that doesn't say it'll change the world completely in every sector or get so pessimistic saying it's totally useless? Why does it have to be so extreme? The people who made this video were clearly excited and honestly, who wouldn't be? We don't know afterall. I think researchers of this field take on the attitude of mathematicians who don't worry if their work has applications and it turns out their work has the most applications...

one more hype

Just ask the aliens for help.

Haven't u achieve singularity

I have a feeling it won't really work in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Hmm .. then i guess, Hype is Real ?

The reality is that even the Engineer from this video couldn't say that quantum computers exist, because they don't. When someone says that it depends what we mean by a computer, then it is all clear. And then you continue speculating what would such a hypothetical computer be able to do if existed, and trying to hype this even more. Tell us what did this "hardware that physically exist" actually do so far. Did it just throw some random numbers out, or as you say "you sampled the output", that would take a real computer longer, or did it actually calculate anything useful at all? What did it actually calculate?

Lets be honest here people, 90% of times quantum computing will be used to decrypt asymmetric cryptographically encoded data.

Moye moye

quanned toum? like some new garlic sauce?

If u want development in QC, try hosting a Hackathon to develop quantum memes. Perhaps a quantum rick roll will gain some traction in the community 😊

Abe Automatski ke quantum computers ke bare main kyun nahin bolte ? Jo billion qubits ka hai aur 1997 mein ban gaya tha?

"hype vs reality" yeah and the vid is almost pure hype + the utopia of electric cars

Yeah. Comapnies like Google are always hyping this technology

Google literally can get gazzillion views on their videos, but instead they choose to compete on the same conditions.

Have any quantum machine learning algorithms been invented that have an exponential advantage over classical ones? Is it likely that quantum machine learning will offer fundamentally new approaches? help ML algorithm cope with the combinatorial explosion when solving many practical problems

I Thought We Can Play High End Games With high Fps In Quantum Computer Now I Understood Gaming Pc is 🗿.

😮

Hello.

first we use analog chips to calculate our statistical probabilities and then the quantum computers wil rise. give it another 20 years.

what exactly quantum computers do? their primary usefulness, I had asked this earlier also...

Bocchi the quantum particle.

Seems like they lost the quantum race to IBM and is trying to demote the whole qc thing to save face lok

SKYNET 🤖

Sigh. There's not even any proof of BQP vs BPP. It could very well be there's a randomized algorithm out there for the certain NP-indeterminate problems that "Quantum computers" are hyped for (that is, BQP=BPP). But in the headlong rush for fame in fortune (muh fundin) nobody stopped to ask the right question. Some "outsider" somewhere could find that fast randomized algorithm, wouldn't that be wild? 🙂

Well, electric cars also took 200 years to get useful.

simulate reality ai simulate ai

IBM hosts the largest quantity and of the most powerful quantum computers. Not Google.

Bocchi the Quanto

Snake oil

Hype and hope are cheap. AI and quantum computing must solve the sad reality of 25K people dying of hunger worldwide every day, according to The United Nations (UN), and the looming threat of 12,500 nuclear warheads if there's a WWIII. 💕☮🌎🌌

HyperReality

Wouldn't be surprised if Apple pulls a "Q1" chip once their are done with M series. :D

Hold my beer

Quantum computer is hype us very high manner and practical use is very less

and it will obsolete RSA algorithm

Theoretically in the future if quantum computers were successful and time travel was possible wouldn't they just quantum hack all of today's computers???😂😂😂

My passwords are going to be cracked in only a decade😰

Quantum advertising and marketing is much better than quantum computing.

What is Quantum Computer? It's look like giant jellyfish.

quantum computing - hype vs more hype😂

Not Google trying to talk about hype when they released a fake AI demo.

This video is very out of date. Ive been using quantum computing for the last year as a normal person so what the heck do they mean by 2033 😂
