Amelia Hartman Before ENIAC and Colossus (the first electronic computers as we would recognize them today) they where electromechanical or all mechanical and called adding machines. HTTP://www.campus.udayton.edu/~hume/Computers/comp2.htm
Jeffery Liggett And this is relevant... why? I've made a mechanical calculator before. The basic concept isn't that difficult. Mechanical computers have existed for thousands of years. One of the earliest ones date back to ~125 BC.
GelivableZSMJ wow go educate yourself, the first personal computers were built inside of garages. Sure, some companies worked on some, but you trying to equate quantum computers to something people could build in their garage is just idiocy. And then acting so arrogant about it, you are an idiot.
all I can understand from this is the quantum computing is able to solve problems far more complex than our regular computers can solve and the amount of data/hard drive space can hold
3:50 the quantum computer that solves optimisation problems with the landscape to find the lowest valley... thats actually really important in Cancer treatments. When patients are get radiation, the computer gets an assignment to figure out the best set of instructions for the machine that produces the least side effects and has the best outcome for the patient. The problem is that you need to know a lot about the program to force it in the general area where it needs to look. It will find the best solution, but it will only jump so many mountains to reach the lowest valley. And it takes a very long time... for the calculation to be done... Then again, i also understand that while quantum computers are good at these things - their raw processing power isnt as great... so part of the word would have to be offloaded to another server pc.
This is what I still don't get: People (including Brad here), keep saying that quantum computers, like the one being build by D-wave, solve very specific problems. But as I understand, that problem (as Brad mentions) is 'optimization' which is a VERY BROAD class of problems. In fact almost any problem can formulated as an optimization problem. Is the issue that you can only solve unconstrained optimization problems? Or is it that there is a hard limit on the number of variables? Anyone know a good answer/reference for this?
This is like listening or reading a sci-fi book, my mind went a little crazy from the possibilities/apocalypse theories, haha. Very interesting, exhilarating, and a little scary to know a (or many?) quantum computer(s) might be created.
The interface between quantum computers and IA is a puzzle. The last thing we need is a QC that reprograms itself to develop a faster, impregnable OS, while purporting to carry out humans commands, in effect doing reverse emulation in order to keep the zoo owners happy, while it works in the background to dominate them.
I heard that the problem with QCPU is that the slightest frequencies can off set it. For example a home model wouldn't work to well because the infrasound of a truck driving by would make it unstable. Kinda as if I place a rather large neodymium magnet next to your current home PC. An idea to resolve this is to place the QCPU within a vault that harbors external noise cancelation as well as a consistent frequency or ohm (perhaps generated by the device itself).

While I'm certainly no physicist, I'd just like to ask/offer this challenge because this has always really bothered me: what's with all the certainty about quantum events being "random"? Physicists themselves explain that at the sub-atomic, quark-scale levels of measurement, Euclidean geometry goes out the window, any and possibly *all* points in the universe are linked and can affect one-another, and maybe even an infinite number of alternate universes could also be inter-linked and affecting any given super-tiny sub-atomic particle. When particles seem to exhibit "uncaused" behaviour, or act inconsistently under the "same" conditions, how could we possibly attribute this to "random", catalyst-free behaviour when we're currently looking at quantum events with scientific capabilities in their infancy, equivalent to analysing a eukaryotic cell under a magnifying glass? With the potential for interference from factors from every conceivable point in the universe (and then some), wouldn't this unmeasurable number of potential behavioural-catalysts seem "random" when you'd need to account for a practically-infinite number of factors from a practically-infinite number of points and conditions throughout the universe?
I think that between two quantum computers a type of quantum encryption might be possible in such a way that the message wave form would collapse if observed, perfectly scrambling the message rendering it useless to whoever observed it before arrival. That would not only solve this problem but actually make regular encryption obsolete!
Andreas Lindhé I saw it in a yahoo article. they were able to create "self destructing messages" that could only be read once using qbits. may not have been true given it was yahoo.
Brad Templeton is not only articulate, but also really quite funny. Quantum computers appear to be a machine of mythical ability, but it also seems like we will see the construction of one in our lifetime. I'll keep an eye out for those screaming bankers..
This guy says he's still skeptical that quantum computers will work, even though quantum computers have already been successfully built. I can only imagine he's referring to computational capacity. So what does a quantum computer need to be capable of computing before people like Brad are convinced that we succeeded.
If P=NP - then you don’t need a quantum computer to solve the problem of factoring really large numbers (with thousands digits). Every “hard” problem in NP will be solved as easy problem in P - even the NPC problems - the “hardest” problems in NP - such as factoring numbers, SAT, the Traveling Salesmen, Hamilton Circle in a non-directed graph and more... - will be “easily” and fastly solved on regular non-quantum computers - if P=NP and if it will be proven. But the EXP problems that outside NP class of problems - couldn’t be solved or at least easily solved for small inputs without quantum computers. I would say - the one that will succeed in proving that P=NP - if indeed P=NP - will be the one that would invent the virtual quantum computer - because its algorithm is virtual quantum one.
Unless the polynomial time algorithm is impractical. A problem in P can still be ridiculously slow to solve in practice. Whereas a quantum computer is known to do prime factorization (and discrete logarithm) in polynomial time.
Realize this immediately when I found out NSA was trying to build a quantum computer. Google is also trying to build one hopefully there is is finished first as it would actually improve society tenfold.
Multi level encryption may solve the problem of decryption hackers even with superpostioned multi state quantum computing p v np algorithms. Even if you decrypt the intercepted message it will still be unintelligible. The infinite possibilities of multi level encryption would be just too much maybe ?

Good example with Wall-street. That would also be my drive for inventing a quantum computer. :D Likewise I could never trust a fortune teller who is not insanely rich.
Obtaining quantum computation is by no means an easy feat. However, I've done research projects on them for my computer and network classes and they are potentially a very dangerous and easily abused technology. Mankind is not ready for it. Nobody, especially the NSA needs nor deserves that technology. The next step until then is 3D processors, optical, and DNA computing. Those are easier advancements.
Why do you focus on quantum computers? You could have the same effect, you describe, if someone solved the Rieman Hypothesis. Then you could do these calculations much more recource efficient.
Quantum computers would be able to factorize large numbers using shor's algorithm ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm ). What does the Rieman hypothesis have to do with this?
number factorization essentially has to do with prime numbers. If someone proved the Rieman Hypothesis, we would be able to exactly calculate primes with mathematical precision without using an algorithm, but a formula. This woulld wreck the security mechanism of every computer too.
+Jonas Kgomo The same way natural selection created the most intelligent computer hardware and software that we know of today: the human brain. natural selection is just trying a million things and moving forward with the best result and using that a million more times and eventually you have something phenomenal. That is where we are in quantum mechanics research right now, so far everything in the universe has been observable to us and we have been able to learn from those observations, but at an atomic scale things are not only incredibly small, but they also move incredibly fast and are incredibly easy to disrupt. so unlike observing an ant under a microscope to see what it does, pretend that the ant was spinning in circles at fractions of the speed of light and that every time you measured it with a laser (the only way we know of to measure the spins of particles is by using a laser), the laser actually caused photons to hit the ant and make it freak out and act unnaturally. on top of the fact that you have now interacted directly with the ant and essentially destroyed the experiment, you also have to wait for the photon from the laser to come back to the lens of the microscope to be processed by a computer that computes data slower than the ant moves. its like if you told me you had a video that shows what happens in a car crash, and the video is actually only 2 frames in length, one before the crash, and one fifteen minutes after the crash. no real information can be learned from those 2 frames but in quantum mechanics research that is what we have been limited to so far. transistor based computers as we know them physically cannot take in information fast enough to keep up with things at atomic scales and atomic speeds
+Jonas Kgomo sorry still didn't really answer your question, I went off in a huge tangent. basically the hope is that we can just try all sorts of random things with quantum computers and eventually something might just work by accident and then we can run with it. There is no real plan at the moment.
+Jonas Kgomo Simple example. Flight. Despite what you might believe no one actually knows how planes fly. Yet we are designing more and more aerodynamic frames for aircrafts.
Fascinating!!! In an ideal world i would expect theories to be validated first before their useor execution.Otherwise they could be harmful to any people ,like experimenting with consciousness could lead to an undesired evolutionary path (for example Virtual Reality,Cybernetic Enhancement) since the human specimen can undergo atrophy. And if this is the case then can we justify Sci-Fi theories that were previously held as fantasy (Time-Travelling,parrallel universe),why is it wrong to also justify such theories using the fact that QM is experimentally true.
Jonas Kgomo as far as the experimentation that is taking place right now, it's just about trying to figure out what happens in any hydrogen atom to see how matter and energy actually work. maybe what we could learn from it could lead to disruptive technologies like what you're talking about, but simply studying them in their normal states would not cause any harm to us because they would just be doing what every single atom in the universe is already doing at any given point in time anyway.
Bitcoin mining and blockchain technologies are hash-based. If the hashing algorithm used by bitcoin is broken by quantum computing, then bitcoin will be made worthless because the blockchain that secures transactions will be able to be arbitrarily manipulated. You could make every user on the network give you all their bitcoins by force. Otherwise, quantum computers will have no effect on bitcoin
Quantum computers as of now are not full quantum computers, they are quanto-electrical computers, much like the predecessors to the digital computer were electro-mechanical.
So the first guy to get one of these has access to any and all digital information on the planet? I would be surprised and disappointed if our security/ spy agencies didn't try to make one of these the moment they learned about it. Not because I think they should have it, especially not with their recent track record, but it is kinda their job.
"Why the NSA Wants a Quantum Computer with Brad Templeton" Would the NSA settle for a quantum computer without Brad Templeton? Or perhaps be satisfied just with Brad, and not the computer?
There aren't quantum computers yet and there is a quantum computer now. It makes sense if you think about it in quantum mechanical ways, at least he stated both statements in this video ha But in reality, there is a certain type of quantum computer and isn't another type yet. (I got bad jokes, what's up?) Also, these indeed won't be used to replace silicon as far as the most updated views go, these will solve much much larger problems than classic silicon computers
Thanks 4 your Info,But it seems your giving the Formula to NSA, After (Snowden) told us they don't have it...It seems to me he is laying out the Engineering part example he said you need to "factorize large numbers" an so on isn't that giving info to NSA...
And yet they haven't hired me to help, I would be willing to wager them I build one first :P I recently came up with a processor architecture with a speed that is in the multiplicative of xxx of any currently available!
Quantum computing would be a gigantic boost for piracy (and in the long run, people who want to make money). If ONE QC contains 1K of "RAM" then theoretically it holds, at any one time, EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION of 1k-bits. Meaning it contains EVERY SINGLE PIECE of EVERY SINGLE TORRENT that ever has/does/will ever exist(ed). Set it up as a torrent server and you can download ANYTHING - all you need is to create a torrent file, you don't actually need to upload any data. On the flip side, Lars Ulrich (and most music/movie producers) will instantly sue :) Or you could look at it another way. Every song/book/movie that could be made in the future ALREADY EXISTS on the QC, therefore the owners of the QC could for EVERY digital creation ever made, including email. I can hear you asking, so I'll answer. Yes. Porn included. Of course, this is all theoretical, because QC's might exist in the future, but they will be problem-specific and very limited. They will NOT be able to break most encryption algorithms and they will NOT be useful in AI

Thanks 4 your Info,But it seems your giving the Formula to NSA, After (Snowden) told us they don't have it...It seems to me he is laying out the Engineering part example he said you need to "factorize large numbers" an so on isn't that giving info to NSA...
thought the title said NASA i am now very disappointed but none the less interested
And yet they haven't hired me to help, I would be willing to wager them I build one first :P I recently came up with a processor architecture with a speed that is in the multiplicative of xxx of any currently available!

quantum computers already exist
Quantum computing would be a gigantic boost for piracy (and in the long run, people who want to make money). If ONE QC contains 1K of "RAM" then theoretically it holds, at any one time, EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION of 1k-bits. Meaning it contains EVERY SINGLE PIECE of EVERY SINGLE TORRENT that ever has/does/will ever exist(ed). Set it up as a torrent server and you can download ANYTHING - all you need is to create a torrent file, you don't actually need to upload any data. On the flip side, Lars Ulrich (and most music/movie producers) will instantly sue :)
Or you could look at it another way. Every song/book/movie that could be made in the future ALREADY EXISTS on the QC, therefore the owners of the QC could for EVERY digital creation ever made, including email.
I can hear you asking, so I'll answer. Yes. Porn included.
Of course, this is all theoretical, because QC's might exist in the future, but they will be problem-specific and very limited. They will NOT be able to break most encryption algorithms and they will NOT be useful in AI
No. That isn't how a quantum computer works.
