Companies, countries battle to develop quantum computers | 60 Minutes

After years of phenomenal growth, computer technology has finally reached it’s infancy.

I did a paper on this in college 25 years ago, the quantum computer was only theoretical at the time. It’s amazing to see the advances

Born in 1937 just 34 years after Wilber got his plane off the ground and growing up with a tube radio and no TV just think what I have seen in my short lifetime and can you imagine what a child born today will see in the next 88 years. I pray that all the new technology will be put to use for the benefit of mankind as we all know the outcome if it isn’t!!🙏

For computers to go from binary to quantum is like going from a 2D world to a 3D world of thinking.

AI, quantum computing, and fusion energy will be the biggest advancements in technology in my lifetime. I'm excited and hopeful these technogies and their future are in the right hands.

The presenter has really tried his best to understand things from a layman's perspective and inform the viewers.

The Terminator story theme becomes more and more believable.

I really don't think people fully understand what we're on the edge of. These could potentially break our understanding of reality

As soon as anyone pulls out Michio Kaku for an explanation, it's over. The man excels at passionately speaking about interesting subjects without ever saying anything at all.

I'm amazed by the speed at which technology has progressed. Today, just a little over 250 years since the Industrial Revolution began, we're on the cusp of breakthroughs incomprehensible. As exciting as I find all this, I'm concerned that we humans are stuck with our failings.

the group really did embrace this

Props to 60 minutes for not dumbing this down to an insane degree. Pretty cool video.

Maybe they’ll make a Skynet, that won’t be boring.

Great journalism by Scott Pelley. He always presents well-written and thought-out commentary on various scientific topics for 60 minutes.

An AI on a Quantum computer is fascinating and terrifying at the same time😳

Cool PC setup 9.5/10 needs LED lights

Regarding what the medical doctor mentioned about using a quantum computer, it certainly seems to me that one of the biggest problems in medicine is the human physiology is so complex that there is no one size fits all for every patient but that is what is done in the interest of efficiency and cost. There have been people, scientist who have cured their own cancer but it required a targeted medication made specifically for that one person. I would anticipate in the future and that when someone gets a disease instead of taking the next most promising drug, a new drug will be made specifically for that person.., imagine that?

Reminds me of the computer in hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Great, great content!!

Let’s just admire the top quality journalism that 60MINUTES brought to this topic. Other YouTube tech channels should take a hint.
