The Map of Quantum Computing - Quantum Computing Explained

A short 'war story': I spent 17 years in supercomputer field (Cray Research, Thinking Machines, etc.). In 1992 I completed a project to mathematically construct the first N elements in the periodic table from first principles (using Feynman-Kac integrals while accounting for spin). I used the 65,000 CPU Connection Machine (27 Gflops, $18 million). I was able to compute the ground energy state atomic structure up through boron (N = 5), within 16 hours. Today, researchers may be able to reach N = 30. It is clear the only way we will be able to simulate molecular biology is with quantum computers!

I shed a few tears of relief ... this presentation has given me yet another sliding door moment. I love the illustration, pace and most notably; the objective approach. Not many content creators deliver with such transparency. Even fewer speak from a place of exposure. This is one of the few moments the :yt:algorithm has come through

This guy really makes it easier for me, since i learn faster when i have a high view over the subject. Nice work and i hope to see more!

Error correction and instability was a huge barrier in early classical computing too. Geniuses like Richard Hamming spent their entire careers developing error correction schemes to get these reliability problems under control.

Just finished taking a course in Quantum Computing at my university, and it was so cool to hear you explain all these topics and be able to follow along, while also hearing about some of the things we didn't cover in the course!

This is by far literally the best video on quantum computing. You have explained this complex topic in such a simple manner, it not only helped me understand what they are but also enabled me to think about how I can use them to solve problems in my field. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Hello everybody, thanks so much for all your really nice comments! A lot of you have said that this is the best introductory quantum computing video you have seen, which really puts a smile on my face. That's what I was aiming for so I put loads of work into it and I'm glad it paid off. Thanks for taking the time to write a comment, it means the world to me! All the best, Dom

wow, as someone who's always wanted to know how this worked (i've watched other things about QC), you really have a gift for teaching.

"You don't need to subscribe or anything..." - Subscribed my friend, one of the best videos of quantum computing on YT.

This is an incredibly informative and all encompassing work on introduction to quantum computing. I just wanna say, the YouTube algorithm should suggest this video to each and every one of the users who have ever searched for phrases like 'quantum computer' or 'quantum computing'.

The pedagogical quality of this video is absolutely astonishing. It's superb in terms of clarity, plenty of examples of applications for reference, good analogies and incredibly accessible as an introduction.

These maps are so ridiculously helpful

A quick note to say congratulations on such a lovely video. I'm part of the product team at Quantum Brilliance, building room-temp quantum computers via diamond NV technology, and I'm always looking for great examples to share with people coming into the industry. I really appreciate the nuance you unpack here too, and I think that's something that's going to be particularly useful, especially for those coming from FAANG roles who are curious how to get comfortable with the fundamentals even as they join and focus on their areas of business. Great work mate.

One of the best videos about quantum computing I've seen yet. I'm getting my MS studying quantum computing, focusing on the software side, and there are few good resources on or offline explaining quantum computing and it's advantages and disadvantages to a general audience.

I swear to God, your shoutout to Qiskit was the only add on YouTube ever that I enjoyed watching. Also amazing topic and thank you for helping me to write my Quantum CS homework. I really love this channel.

Spectacular overview. I just finished the MIT XPRO Quantum Fundamentals course. You summed it up here in :30 minutes! Brilliant.

You had my curiosity, but now you’ve got my attention! It’s been a while since I’ve been this stoked about learning and progress, thank you for such clear and articulate explanations. I love that you’ve thrown in terms outside the scope for those want to dig deeper. I’m about to study the shit out of this!

Well. This is the FIRST time anyone has been able to explain this to me. Thanks you so much.

I just found this pure gold. This is probably the best video of 2021. Your skill for clear and direct explanation and also systematic approach to the topic is inspirational for me. Also great graphics!

Thanks. These maps of videos just hit the right level of depth and explanation for me. I am especially looking forward to simulating living molecular system like organelles and even whole cells on a quantum level to understand the complexities.
