Quantum Computing with Andrea Morello
Understanding Quantum Computing: Exploring the Potential of Qubits, Silicon-based Qubits, and Quantum Engineering for Future Technologies

00:00 - Quantum Computing with Andrea Morello
00:42 - 🧲 Quantum computing explained for electrical engineers.
08:50 - 🧪 The video discusses the concept of qubits and their role in quantum computing, explaining how they store and process information.
17:51 - 🧪 The video discusses the use of single phosphorus atoms as qubits in quantum computing.
26:15 - 🔬 Quantum error correction allows for the protection of quantum information from noise and errors, even if individual qubits are not perfect.
44:44 - 💡 Quantum computers are still in the development stage and are not yet producing useful work, but they have the potential to be more powerful than classical computers.
54:15 - 🔬 The video discusses the use of silicon in quantum computing and the challenges associated with it.
1:01:49 -🧪 Quantum computers are being researched using different methods including silicon-based qubits and superconducting circuits.
1:10:04 -🔬 Quantum computers are useful for limited outputs and require algorithms that convert the quantum bits into an equivalent classical state.
1:18:43 -🔬 The development of a quantum computer capable of breaking RSA encryption would require about 200 million physical qubits, and while there are no shortcuts to achieving this, funding is coming from government agencies and private sector companies.
1:27:39 - 💡 There is a growing field of quantum engineering that offers opportunities for engineers to get involved and develop quantum technologies for the future.
1:36:59 - 🔬 Quantum computing has two possible scenarios: it either works and becomes a practical technology, or it doesn't due to some unknown fundamental law of physics.

    You can tell how knowledgeable he is about the subject by how well he teaches it and how simple he makes everything sound. I can't believe I got so much mental imagery just from watching him waving his fingers. This is epic.

  • @rabidbigdog
    I've seriously never seen (or read) an explanation of Quantum Computing better than this. Thank you Andrea (and Dave)!
  • @myrio1
    Andrea Morello, is a genuine inteligent man. I enjoy listening to him dissertate.
  • @njphilwt
    Wow. This covers so many of the mysterious aspects from entanglement to detection and makes them all understandable — without a whiteboard? Dave... Many thanks to you and Andrea for this!
  • @myspace5671
    This is the best teaching, is like talking/listening to a friend that likes the same thing as you do
  • @imetr8r
    I've been attempting to comprehend QT for decades with little understanding. Andrea Morello explains QT better than anyone I've ever heard. He must be an excellent teacher. The BBC should have him perform a series!
  • @claudiog.7397
    This is the second time I hear a talk covering ee from Andrea Morello, and once again he's spectacularly clear in his explanations. Thanks Dave to have brought him to us.
  • @GothamCity85
    I could listen to Andrea talk all day long. I've always been deeply fascinated by Quantum Mechanics and Physics.
  • I love this man... he is always open to share his knowledge while being down to earth...
  • That was a fantastic talk! Thank you. Very dense in the first part, and very engaging afterwards.
  • @bios546
    This interview was one of the best things that happened this year.
  • He explained everything in such a simple way that a Dumbo like me can understand it.
  • @Czeckie
    this guy starred in the best videos by veritasium, I'm so pumped to hear more from him!
  • This guy is spectacularly clever, thank you for this onterview 🙂
  • @David94spc
    Wow, I can't remember last time I was this hooked all the way through a video. Modern day Richard Feynman in making intrinsically unintuitive concepts imaginable 😍
  • @user-df6lp8zw4g
    This man is brilliant. Astounding how his brain is so sharp.
  • @daveinwla6360
    An outstandingly informative video! Prof. Morello is indeed a gifted Teacher.
  • @buckrogers5331
    This is by far the best explanation of QC. What we want is not the ad nauseum throwing about of terms like superposition and entanglement. We want to know the nuts and bolts. The hows and whys. Thank you very much for this, EEVDiscover.

    There are few topics / people that make me want to go back to university ('88 degree in computer science and digital electronics). However, Andrea is one of them. His passion for the topic of quantum computing and his ability to explain it are wonderful. There are no doubt some young engineers who, in 20 years, will realize what a wonderful opportunity they had to study with him.
