      Best of all is that he is fun to watch and to listen too. Many professors fail for being so boring and students lose interest and then don't do so well.
      That tells you that most of the time, lucky students who can have a professor like this will fair better in life.

    It's about breaking the 1 (on) 0 (off) barrier aka bits. Current Digital computer are only able two logical empirical states. Thus restricting the the possibities of your data. Currently the only way to create multiple states (data points) is to use up a lot of Bits. Quantum computing is about having "bits" that it's self is complex and has many states. Different example a "bit" may be triangle, sqaure, circle as types of "bit". A single "bit" can now convey complex data.

  • @rikketik1000
    @rikketik1000 Před 12 lety

    It is not about 3 states instead of 2.
    It is from a swap from 2 possible states, to an infinite amount of states. By using a quantum computer a real number can be stored in a single "bit" with an very high accuracy. Where adding them is just adding the 2 "bits" together
    In the current system with ones and zeros this a real number (with decent accuracy) is stored in 32 bits. And adding them is quite challenging.

    in the first minutes, the example of cutting out the polo player, is that really an example of a computer which is learning? i think the next time he opens that program it will do exactly the same, missing his head and his feet. am i wrong, or does the program remembers that action?

    • @ajsamart2445
      @ajsamart2445 Před 9 lety

      machine learning is a vast field..and there are like a ton of different methods. depending on which was used, yes the program can indeed "remember" previous states and choices. For example, there might be some reward mechanism which re-inforces and discourages good/bad behavior, sort of like a very high-level feedback loop; so that when the computer missed out the head it would have got some feedback on it.
      But also looking at it from another view is that even if it does reproduce the same result next time, it has indeed LEARNT this behaviour. Like it has never before seen this odd image of a the man (with his distinct features) in that distinct pose playing polo. It would have been trained on some sample data/images and from that it has learnt or develop this behvaiour and thats why one can say its an example of machine learning.

    It speeds up computing exponentially. So the more quantum bits you make the faster it is.
    If they manage to make a quantum computer with considerable amount of bits, it can increase current computing power to the millions, billions, trillions.
    Thankfully its not similar to antimatter that is amazing in theory but very impractical.

      Powerful computers are useful in many places. One use for them is in science, simulations and calculations. You build a model of your understanding how something works. For example the atmosphere. Then you can simulate that model with a supercomputer. Normal computers are relatively slow in a serious simulation use, this is for what they now use supercomputers. But they are very expensive.
      Simulation is also already now used widely in the industry, engineering industry and medical industry. For example if you are designing a new car, you can simulate it's crash tests on a computer, and save massive amount of money when you don't have to do so much real life testing, same time gaining more information that what you are able to gather with manual methods. Computer for this reason is already now, very important tool in industry.
      You can use it to solve mathematical problems. And those solutions to basic problems can be used to create new innovations, new machines, gather more understanding of physics, more understanding of how something functions.
      Computer vision can be done on controversial computers, but they are still quite inefficient at it. How much electricity did you use to detect something simple from the image. Compare that to the fact that human brain does it with a few watts of power only. Developing the software for it is also a massive challenge. Human brain is inefficient in calculating numbers, but in other kind of information processing it is very capable. Reason lies in the evolution, human brain wasn't designed to calculate numbers.
      So how I see it, is that more powerful computers will accelerate the development of science and new innovations. They may help us to solve the energy problems, get rid of fossil fuels, they may help to figure out how to create a functioning fusion energy reactor. :)

    Are we really making the world a better place with more powerful computers? It seems that as the more technology progresses, the further we get from what life is really about. Every problem resolved by technology seems to create 10 worse problems. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy modern life because of the machines that we have built, but at some point, we will forgot what it was like to be human. Perhaps we are destined to create a massive thinking,self replicating organism that will travel the cosmos for eons long after out own solar system has been extinguished.

    Hello Chris,
    if you want to give an overview in chemistry and physics, there's nothing wrong with it.
    But if this is done under false pretences of a lecture title like: The future of the computer,
    made just to attract a large audience, you've gambled away your creditworthiness.
