- A new supercomputer is slated to make it possible to reduce animal experiments and perhaps to cure cancer. The hype surrounding quantum computing is inspiring numerous industries, raising claims that it could help solve the problem of storing renewable energy, or that it could help revolutionize the logistics sector.
A Swiss start-up that produces artificial lungs is looking towards quantum algorithms to become more efficient and, for example, help find a cure for cancer and rendering experiments on animals redundant. A private investor has brought these goals one step closer by allowing Swiss start-ups to use quantum computers commercially. The technology is still considered to be at the beginning of its development curve, science does not yet know its full capabilities. Big players such as Google and IBM are in competition to create ever newer and faster quantum computers. This film opens a window into the world of supercomputers, and explores how their potential and their dangers seem to exist side by side.

Quantum computers will somehow get tied together with artificial intelligence and give birth to the new sentient life form of Earth
we need maaaaany many many qubits for that, and for all of them to be of good quality... its like the difference between 70s computers and todays computers, but on quantum we're still on the 70s
If we get to the mid 90s we good
@@alvaroluffy1except now we have an assistance that wants us to create the biggest new house for them, and said assistance is already smarter than us (individually) in terms of knowledge since it can tap into all the digital documents
@@kyo250996 yeah of course it will be faster than 50 years, but still, maybe 10 from now, i think quantum computers are actually not the next step, but the next to the next, we're gonna have some major breakthrough this year or in a few years and that will keep us going for a few years more until when we crack quantum computers and probably nuclear fusion right around the same time, like, one or two years apart from each other or something like that and then will come another revolution
Hey that's how your brain works!
Pretty insane to imagine we're trying to build a machine that can access an insanely large number of temporary dimensions to run a calculation that conventional computers wouldn't finish if they ran to the end of the universe.. instantly
What?
yep, technically, we humans invented portals technology
i guess...as they dont give detailed technical information... what they mean by standard computers cant do is floating point precission . ie defining and storing floating points numbers on pc takes lots of memory and lots of time to do computations on them. while i guess they use electron states as ram modules. therefore on traditional computer one precise floating number that requires lots of bytes while on quantum bit depending on precission it probably can store lots of mbytes of data only on one bit... im not sure just a guess .. if they can set and get value of qbit/electon state :D im not sure how they set electron state anyway if they can :D
@@ticiusarakan correct. It's literally a way to open so you can compute in an almost infinite number of branches of reality simultaneously that emerge into reality when the computation starts and collapse again when it ends - all in a split second. Mind blowing shit!
I'm going to use it to run SNES emulators.
1) There are various type of Quantum Computers: Digital Quantum Computers, and Quantum Annealers/Simulators are two major categories, and there are various ways for achieving those. Quantum Annealers and Simulators are more like analog computing devices rather than digital computers. They are the most commercially employed devices as of now (such as port logistic optimization, garbage collection optimization, patriot tracking solutions etc.) Most experts think digital quantum computers will dominate and transform the market once error resistant logical qubits become available. (10 years?)
2) EU is backwards in both categories. It is somewhat better in Quantum Annealers/Simulators. The leading (commercialized) digital quantum computer is IBM Q, and leading (commercialized) annealer is D-Wave, with various applications in defence and logistics (since logistics=economy, this is a big current application, see Dassault).
3) EU is playing catch up with new EU projects (as well as various national level projects). However budgets are still very limited compared to China and US budgets.
4) EU is heavily promoting PASQAL in project requirements (a simulator/annealer state sponsered quantum computing firm from France).
Must be refreshing working on such initiatives. Meanwhile most of us will continue living our sheep lives
@@ForeheadPushUps
i wish we could understand what exactly being sheep means, its somebody that "evaluate the opinions of ppl based on their authority" for example a person with a 1000 page book in his resume is considered more correct.
We dont think logically to evaluate their opinions, in reality, from the appearance/authority/social position of them , we conclude the correctness and falesness of the statements.
Sheep and sheperd ,they follow the sheperd even to the slaughter house.
Knowing This one simple fact about sheepness can tchange whole lives and it doesnt need high IQ at all, all it needs is effort in going thru everything u know and start re evaluate them based on ur simple logic , common sense, it takes alittle time but it turns u into a beast of real thinker , this is why they say all humans have the same brain capability but 99% dont use it.
What about chine ? Ive heard the google , ibm can only run for seconds with 50% error rate but china more stable with less than 10% error rate?
Have u heard about this ?
Can u explain more about it ?
You too can work on something like that but you have to study hard.@@ForeheadPushUps

Photonic computing looks more promising in the near future compared to quantum computing which use a huge amount of resource to build one. It will probably the one who will replace the current electronic based computing .
Current trajectory is AI > Silicon Photonics > something else > Maybe Quantum computers.
Not in our lifetimes for sure
@@ChinchillaBONK in mine for sure
It never will. But I see some offload to photonic computing for some processing but never the complete replacement.
@@catchnkill photonic has a lot of potential
@@andrewreynolds912 Of course, but never complete replacement.
For a wider part of human history, anyone who imagined or even considered thought reaching stars was treated as a lunatic. But out they made the impossible possible, the problem with quantum computing is it is praticaly a blackhole one knows when were are going to get a result and people are getting impatient.
This is amazing. Great work DW.
Do you know DW stands for don't worry
excited to watch
Awesome show
Very well done!

Great work 👍 best wishes from Manchester Old England ❤
You know is a DW documentary when at one point you hear techno music in the background! Ja ja das is Berlin baby!
Good one!
really do believe that people are not long term sufficient to write quantum algos and that it will be a major application of AI
Nice!
Amazing.
DW Is A GOOD TECHER。
Ohhh the irony 😄

Little people now, this would be a change in the scientific industry.
"Money was invested in research are billions" - and someone will wanna get it back with a profit, right....
What is wrong with that? This was told about Google and IBM - private companies, private investments and so - private risks and someone's profit. To make money you need to give people what they want, so companies doing their best to make progress.
Nothing wrong with that, right, except that these billions you will pay out of your pocket. This is not massive product, and heathcare is most unaffordable thing there, so tech from billioners for billioners. And if it will be successful *or not* you will pay these billions anyway "taxed" from other companies products...... your point is clear, but from these kind of videos, epic music, great intentions, they wanna say that's about saving planet, green energy transition, wonder of medicine, for humanity - but real point of this investment is take money out of your pocket. And simple example - some energy companies already charging "green energy *fee*"
"private companies, private investments and so - private risks and someone's profit." - and public payment from new subscriptions, fees, charges, bumping prices etc. No matter if tech will successful or not (while it could take decade(s)) and ton of money. Another points that they not collaborate but every company invest billions in their own project that we will pay off in any scenario
Long story short - many companies spending billions to create the same product, with questionable outcome and the main point astronomical tons experementing by money milked from the current end customers
@@rendermanpro This is called competition. According to your logic, we should only have Boeing, and developing Airbus was a mistake, we have iOS, so why have Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, SunOS, etc. The best will survive, we cannot foreseen which one is better. Money was made by companies that make those research, not milked, or invested by investors. If you don't like competition, look what happened with soviet economics, compared with the market one.

Quantum computing's role in enhancing data security is pivotal, especially in sensitive fields like healthcare. It's inspiring to see technology paving the way for safer, more efficient medical solutions.
No, it's about absolute control and the enslavement of the entire human race. Wake up!
We hear about great potential and how fantastic quantum computing will be. There are people who pretend we can do amazing things today however when I search for specific examples I am disappointed. What people talk about is the possibility.
Let's see a specific commercial application in use today. The few I found use an adiabatic quantum computer that is a very different kind of technology.
Could it be after spending billions on building a general purpose quantum computer a new way of computation will be discovered and all that effort will fall by the wayside?
I'm fascinated by your insight into the discussion of quantum computing.
If their promotional material has dramatic background music, they’re lying to you.
True
Most wonderful scientific explanation documentary about quantum computer ,quantum scientific researching .thank you 🙏 ( DW) documentary channel for sharing
Thanks for watching and for your constructive feedback! :-)
🤥
When is enough enough? Whats the ultimate end game with all of this and AI? Were not able to handle our climate, economy, politics but our world is obsessed with devoting time and resources to this construct that humanity ultimately doesn't need.
It is the only way to truly resolve those crises. Far from being a distraction. It's the only real solution
Almost all hype and incoherent links between unrelated tech
Schrödinger was a theory guy, he never intended that you actually put a cat in a box, that makes no sense. It’s a thought experiment.
Yes, but it's a failed thought experiment. It is a document of Schroedinger's confusion about quantum mechanics, though.
It was more an analogy, to explain the quantum effect by trying to compare it with something macro like that thought experiment. But it could never actually work like that
Yes, but cats love boxes anyway. They are simply letting us know that they've already licked quantum mechanics and are waiting for us to catch up to them.
For the record, the OP is talking about the segment at 6:16. After having seen it, I agree that DW's attempts at tongue-in-cheek humor there, "primarily known because of a cat", "an experiment that he fortunately never carried out in real life", rather falls flat on its face.
1) No, he is primarily known as one of the founders of quantum mechanics and for the Schrödinger equation. That's like saying that Einstein is primarily known for E = mc2 and for crazy hair, rather than for developing the theory of relativity. Granted, popular science vs. science, I guess. 2) Yes, I am afraid you are probably confusing your general audience by mixing up thought experiments with real experiments for the sake of a cheap joke there, DW.
Still, thanks for the great documentary!
@@Irrazzo One can easily carry out Schroedinger's cat as a real experiment. Even at home. It will be just as pointless as it is as a Gedankenexperiment. The problem isn't Schroedinger. The real problem is that it's basically 100 years later and we are still not teaching modern physics in a rational way to the public. Everybody is focused on intellectual debris from the 1930s instead on handing out the correct explanations.
SO BASICALLY quantum physics is my childhood conversation with my friends about what if everything behind anything doesn’t exist until we finally see it and there’s a fraction of a second where the particles join together by some force of nature (quantum nature) to make the illusion that what we are seeing is what’s we’re seeing. Got it.
Bet none of the present Ai could give detailed instructions on how to build a quantum computer much less imagine it. In a world where the media tells us that Ai will dominate humans this is some Quantum of Solace.
Just you wait for quantum developed ai... it will develop better quantum computers... which will develop better ai... which...
@@mrcookies409 LoL. Wake me up when these halcyon 'daze' arrive.
@@adroitspartan7907 By then it will be too late >.
quantum will be a tsunami compared to AI....when quantum and AI integrate it will be an entirely different world.
AI isn't advanced enough yet, tho it's rapidly evolving. What you think about AI now will be a whole different story in 12 months. Once we reach AGI level AI then you'll see what it's really capable of
When a hospital has a CEO you should know that money will save your life. 😂😂😂
This should be shown in all schools. Bravo!
🎉 Very interesting video Quantum Computing and site!
This is another leap forward in computing. If you combine Ai and quantum computing, you will create a monster.

Some time ago everyone talked about artificial intelligence, but it seemed an eternal tecnology of the future, with no real advancements and suddenly in the last years it became a reality, and it is developing really fast. I think it will be the same with quantum computer, it will take some years, but suddenly it will be a reality, and advancing fast.
Was this script written with AI? I’ve noticed way too many factual errors about physics.
Somebody didn't want to work
"good for energy efficiency too" You just got done explaining that you need to keep the quantum computer at less than 1 degree kelvin.... that takes a lot of energy to do. Until theres room temp quantum computers, "energy efficiency" isnt a thing that has anything to do with quantum computers.
its nice to see scientists admit that animal testing is both inaccurate and cruel, only sick people thought otherwise
Why did they use videos of animal facilities from decades ago and not modern facilities ?
There are a lot of documentaries that are no longer available on DW youtube channel.
Is those are deleted for some reason?
Hi, thanks for asking! Some of our documentaries have been bought from other production companies and distributors and therefore have limited online rights. We hope that clarifies things. :)
Looking forward to post quantum cryptocurrencies 😊
boo
Thank you quantum people...
You keep forgetting to add _“…if they existed…”._

How? 👀
Let’s get this party started 🤙🏽😎🖤
And in the meantime, I will continue to consciously consume products that are not tested on animals. 💪🏽🌱
not pharmaceutical drugs you won't... lol
What people claim quantum computing will be used for:
* Helping develop medications
* Curing diseases
* Storing renewable energy
What quantum computing will REALLY be used for:
* Global data breaches
* Hacking governments
* Mass surveillance
Mix of both,
If not already
Indeed. I’d say 7 years before we start seeing multiple blockchains being cracked like an egg.
Nice
All i know about Quantum computers so far is that its t he latest computer technology that is way more powerful then "ordinary" computers.
fair enough, the video kind of said more than that though.
don’t get excited, ppl. quantum computing is just like fusion energy. theoretical basis is solid, but the technology to bring it to practical use is not even close. in about 40 years, QC will be in the same developmental stage as fusion energy is now
Nice! My next upgrade is a quantum computer!
Can someone explain this: If the whole advantage of quantum computation is the fact that classical computation's binary language of 0 or 1, and quantum being able to be 0 and 1 at the same time, then why can't we use software to emulate the same thing? Sugch as: the software uses a dual binary language where one side can be 0 or 1 and the other side can be 0 or 1. A controller could split the bits to each processor and in effect have the same quantum computation ( if both processors see 0's or 1's at the same time, thats the same as an entangled pair)
How do you input information to a quantum computer? In what form is the information?
I understand why quantum computers would be much faster, but I cant wrap my mind around HOW they really work.
Solving problems that today's computers can't fast enough.
yeah its fairly complicated, university courses are dedicated to that exact topic. so don't feel bad about it
I’ve seen this in that “Joan is awful” black mirror episode 🤔
Computers were first used for calculations and now are being used for simulations, awesome.
Virtually all relevant molecules are either not modelled well by full coherence or are subject to bombardment by water molecules that strip any larger coherence.
What software will it use? Windows or Mac? When will it be available for mobile devices and what's the price. ❤
love this mostly cause it stop hurting animals hopefully
people who think "quantum pc" will never be a thing
are the same people who in the 30's never believed computers (the size of a room) were gona be for regular people...
can't wait to see what 30-40 years in the future will do... if i survive that long ofc
Quantum computing has been "a thing" since the beginning of the universe. Every single proton, for instance, computes the proton mass, something we can't do with classical computing very well. Every hydrogen atom computes the entire spectrum of hydrogen to infinite precision. That's very cool. It's also very useless. The problem is to make useful quantum computers and that is still lacking. There are fundamental reasons why it may not amount to as much as the current hype predicts.
This is purely a scam.
@@lepidoptera9337 Well a proton just has a mass. It doesn't "compute" it. The very concept of computation refers to a being using a tool to calculate something. Quantum computing is just using qubits (like electrons or photons) to store information like a normal computer would with bits. I also don't think you really gave a reason that it won't live up to the hype you just said the technology is still in infancy.
I agree we don't know what may happen in the future. However, there are certain physical limits you run into when making computers as small as we're making them right now. This is in fact one of the reasons quantum computing has some buzz - because theoretically it could break through barriers that the typical modern transistor is running into. But the physical limitations quantum computers have is also many - finding methods to actually physically control electrons and contain them is one such limit, as well as operating these methods at room temperature.
@@adampullen3786 A proton is a quantum system and it does produce a measurable physical property called "mass" that is very hard to calculate classically from first principles. To somebody in the field of computing that's a calculation and it's a valid "benchmark" between classical and quantum systems, whether you like it or not. So is classical chaos, of course, which not even a quantum computer can calculate. That we both agree that nature doesn't actually calculate doesn't matter. That's just idle philosophy at the practical level.
If only there was a centralized, open source research approach to this problem. Business needs to stop slowing down development by closing down great technology 😐
Being able to solve problems we can't even formulate: sounds like marriage.
Why this …t music in the background ?
The reporter got "quanta" completely wrong. Come to think of it, quanta hasn't been used to explain quantum mechanics since Max Plancks time.
Quantum mechanic effects are seen clearly on the atomic scale, you don't need to be smaller than an atom.
"Quanta" is just a semantic thing. It just is the root word in quantum mechanics - where quantum is actually the singular version. So not quite sure what you mean by "it hasn't been used since Planck." Though I agree the use of the word the way the reporter was using it sounds a bit odd, as most people would assign something to the word - as it just means smallest piece of something. So most people would say electrons, ions, photons, etc. instead of just saying quanta, however I think given the reporter is doing his best and isn't a scientist this is nit-picking. Like the whole "smaller than an atom" quote is just for effect. Obviously you don't "need" to go smaller than an atom - but we absolutely do. The most popular form of qubit at the moment is an electron, which is very much smaller than an atom.
well... so first one is testing different doeses/versions of drug on one cell each simulateneusly ... makes sense but quantum computing ?
So when they say they explore "all possible options" at once, do they mean: that the computer knows options that we are unaware of or they explore all of the options possible based on the math it's trained on?
It's not trained. Simplest quantum elements take inputs... each of which can be described as having a range of probabilities, and produce outputs of the same nature. A probability density function covers more possibilities than an equivalent digital 0 or 1. It makes no sense intuitively, but mathematically it's descriptive of the behaviour.
We can help scientists by processing data from boinc distributed computing software ♥️
Given that the laws of nature behave differently at the quantum level, how can we exert control over quantum systems?
Hi! Laws of nature work in a counter intuitive way but we have a very good mathematical description for them and we can test the equations on these quantum systems and they totally work! In particular, the way you interact with quantum systems can be devided in two fields, quantum optics, where you use lasers to "talk" to your quantum objects and quantum transport, where you use currents to "talk" with them
@@SquashyPan Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
i guess.. they mean floating point being one bit on one electron state. while on binary logic system its newer enough to store a floating point number if you want extreeme precission :D which makes sense if they can set electron stte and get data bck precisely with predicatable error ration and detection system.... other then that i dont see much potential except fast data syncronization/transfer for superpc nodes/modules... which will make wide range non directly connected super/cloud computer based logic systems...
How many tflops does it have ?
Schrodinger never intended to use his cat in a box experiment to champion quantum uncertainty , he was pointing
out how ridiculous he believed it to be.

As someone from the field of quantum tech, I must say much of this is very misleading. I wish you would have checked with scientists before publishing. Quantum computing has promise, but it's still a long way, and it impact is unclear. Especially in competition with AI (see protein folding via Alphafold).
For example (9:53), the port of Los Angeles "benefiting" from quantum computers. Every time quantum supremacy was "proven" for useless problems, it was successfully challenged with a classical computer. Therefore, any "benefit" is no better than using a pocket calculator.
For a much more informed view, watch Sabine Hossenfelders videos on this topic. Quantum Tech is not only quantum computing. Quantum sensing for example is underhyped and is already bringing real benefits.
Qubits are not like a flipped coin. They have a range of values which introduces errors.
Ai is a stepping stone
these are the people we need to support and invest with not military and shit
But it is not just two places at the same time it's infinitely many places at the same time.
qubits? well typically if you use electrons its only 3. Where the 3rd is just a superposition of either spin up or down. I will say there are other options such as photons, which can increase the spectrum of states they can exist in by taking into account phase, frequency, and intensity. But wouldn't say it's infinite as far as I'm aware.
How can the data processing carried out by this quantum computer be displayed on the screen? We know that digital computers use electricity to flow through each component, then the processor processes the data and produces electrical signals which will later be interpreted by other components such as monitors, speakers, and so on.
Well at some point you measure your system and results will be displayed somewhere. This is called qubit readout. It's quite mind bending to think that we can manipulate and sense objects on a quantum scale but we totally can!
I dont get it .If general princip of quantum computing is simultaneously explore true and false possibility of equations ,for what the need cryogenic material?
To put the quantums in an certain state for computing.
Everybody talks about potential.... Where is the result? Can someone demonstrate how it works?
The current quantum computers are too simple to solve complex problems. Theory has shown a path to efficient algorithms in cryptography. At the moment though, more complex quantum circuitry battles cumulative uncertainty.
afterall, Quantum reaching its peak!
The quantum computers we're seeing now compared to the next generation are like model T's compared to a Tesla.
So, after this invention we are free, can f'ck around and don't need to worry or work anymore?
If we want to, yes. But we have to want it.

Quantum computing will never common because of the insane cooling demands to achieve coherency. They are also only faster than binary for some special workloads.
I think there were recent material breakthroughs to allow quantum effects to occur at room temperature
@@delatroy hope you're not referring to any of Ranga Dias' withdrawn (fraudulent) Nature papers?
Cloud access will solve it.
They said same thing about classical computers in the early days when they were bigger than whole rooms
Not all architectures need cryogenics. NV centers in diamond work at room temperature. So does photonics. Ironically, even "ultracold atoms" don't need cooling (at least in the classical sense). They use laser cooling, which is much easier, technically speaking
Hopefully it will enable us to develop new drugs without abusing animals so much even though results from animal test don’t even provide results you can apply to humans well
If they didn't provide results we can apply on humans we would've stopped using animals a long time ago.
Existing tech allows full access to data. Wouldn’t cooperation be more effective then a race and endless legal battles for development?
I wonder if quantum computers can simulate faster results to find how to reverse age so we can stay alive.
The biggest improvement you'll probably see due to quantum computing
Is very high density parallel data storage and cloud computing, where quantum computing actually would replace server farm, but not regular computer
Better medical and your car may go as fast as a Bugatti and make a Concorde that doesn't malfunction
The problem with quantum computing is you have a "CPU" but no true quantum io devices still have to use a regular computer to run a quantum one
No you won't be running GTA or crysis on a quantum computer anytime soon
Quantum computing is what regular computer was in the 1930s and 40s
Need a whole warehouse floor to run one
A few registers and a quantum alu is pretty much wat u got
Difference is Quantum alu can operate on all registers (qbit) at the same time with different instructions
@@Clancydaenlightened It isn't really intended to replace small device-based computers, and also there is actually cloud access to quantum computers right now! Xanadu made one a couple years ago and you can program it online remotely. also.... did you just reply to yourself? Twice???
During this informative mini doc on quantum computing this statement stuck out the most to me.
Processing the complex correlation between all of those data requires the kind of computing power that classical computers struggle to achieve. - Frederick Flother
"And that's where quantum computers have real potential."
With AL being a new addition to apply to these different types of technologies can open even more doors for computing on higher levels.
Especially with the production of A.I. microchips.
Radioactive diamond batteries.
it's about increasing time 😊
