Can quantum computers really perform calculations that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers an unimaginable amount of time?
An idea that seemed almost impossible just a few decades ago is starting to become a reality. Interestingly, one of the people who foresaw the need for an entirely new kind of computer was Richard Feynman.
In this film, inspired by his thinking, we delve into the extraordinary world of quantum computing and explore why the laws of quantum mechanics could completely change the way we solve certain problems.
You'll learn:
✦ How a qubit differs from a regular bit
✦ What quantum superposition really is
✦ How quantum entanglement can be used in computation
✦ Why Feynman believed that quantum nature should be simulated by a quantum system
✦ In what tasks can a quantum computer outperform classical machines?
✦ Why "quantum superiority" doesn't mean that a quantum computer is faster at everything
✦ What problems still limit modern quantum computers
✦ Could the development of this technology lead to new discoveries in physics, chemistry, and materials science?
A quantum computer isn't simply a faster version of a regular computer.
It's a machine that uses completely different principles of nature.
And that's precisely why it can open the door to problems that classical computers can't solve efficiently.
