    this video is simply awesome because it does a few things that many other explanatory quantum videos try to do but fail.
    1. break down the weird quantum logic to an understandable level.
    2. always keep the complicated math to a bare minimum.
    3. despite the minimum math the flavour and the essence of the subject was never compromised.
    4. do more than the customary glossy lip service to quantum computing power and actually convey it's strength and advantages in sufficient detail.
    5. always had some humour in the air.

      I strongly disagree. His video is misleading, it talks about quantum mechanics with such an extremely high level of abstraction with "bloc circles" that it is not even clear what is going on. He then does not even answer the question he started with, but shrugs it off with a Richard Feynman quote that it's just impossible to understand. Waste of 15 minutes.

      Einstein hated quantum mechanics because he couldn't believe that quantum entanglement is faster than light. He fought that idea till his death, he even invented wormholes and such things, to give an alternative explanation for quantum entanglement. We know today that he failed, because quantum entanglement actually IS faster than light. At least 100,000 times faster, according to Chinese researchers. Maybe even instant.

  • @CraigGidney
    @CraigGidney 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Here's the explanation you requested at the end of the video, though I don't know if I'd call it "simpler".
    The NOT gate toggles between up and down. It turns any state 'a*UP + b*DOWN' into the state 'b*UP + a*DOWN'. Notice that this operation doesn't affect the UP+DOWN state, since a=b for that state, but this operation negates UP-DOWN. Instead of describing this operation as "the NOT gate" or "the operation that toggles between ON and OFF", you could describe it as "the operation that negates the UP-DOWN state". You can do this for any operation: instead of talking about what it toggles, tell me which states it negates (or phases; look up 'spectral decomposition' for the math behind this).
    Now let's go in the opposite direction: start with an operation that negates a state, and figure out some states that it toggles between. Suppose I gave you a "negates the DOWN state" gate. What are the two states it toggles between? One possible answer: UP+DOWN and UP-DOWN.
    Time for controls. Notice that adding a control to a gate adds a condition to the state it negates. A controlled "negate UP-DOWN" gate is a "negate UP-DOWN if control=UP" gate. Actually, we can fold the condition into the target state. This controlled gate negates exactly one state: the "first=UP second=UP-DOWN" state. It's a "negate first=UP second=UP-DOWN" gate. Now pull this "move condition into state" trick backwards, but on the other state. The "negate first=UP second=UP-DOWN" gate can also be thought of as a "negate first=UP if second=UP-DOWN" gate.
    Now change that conditional negation into a conditional toggle, and we're done. The "negate first=UP if second=UP-DOWN" gate has an alternate identity: the "toggle between UP-DOWN and UP+DOWN if second=UP-DOWN" gate. Or, said another way, "toggle first between left and right if second=right". And that's exactly what happens in the video.
    The ability to switch between a "negating states" mindset and a "toggling states" mindset is key to groking many quantum algorithms.

      It is a plausible assumption to say the dog ate the bone. But how do you know? He may have buried it because he wanted to eat it later. The result is the same, the bone is gone.

      @frameofessence  8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Oh I think see now. I really depends on your interpretation of quantum mechanics. No one really knows what happens when a qubit isn't being observed. It's kind of like asking when a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? It's actually a little more like: if we see a tree in the forest, come back a week later and see it lying down, and no one in history has ever seen what a falling tree looks or sounds like, did it make a sound? If it helps with your understanding of the problem or with the math in some way, maybe it did? So with the dog example, I would say that all the evidence and previous experiences say that the dog ate the bone. But in the end, unless we can dig into the ground to check for a buried bone, it doesn't really matter what the explanation is since the results are the same. Physicists haven't figured out a way to check for buried bones.

    • @Falney
      @Falney 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh I understand. I just like asking the question because it annoys people. As for the tree. Yes it does. It produces a sound wave. It is just no one hears it because there is no one there.

    Remarkably, this is the first video on the internet that even attempts to explain quantum computing.
    Typical "explanatory" TH-cam video on quantum computing: "Yeah so you have these qubits, and the number of states they can be scales exponentially with how many they are, therefore QUANTUM COMPUTING! derp". And then the Dunning-Kreuger viewer goes like "oh hue hue I guess I understand exponential scaling therefore I understand quantum computing now". That's why the title of this video is so appropriate.
    Although tbh I still don't understand why quantum computing is useful after this video

      yeah I mean the metaphor by using multiplication seems simple.
      But wut I don't understand is in classic computer the gates in "C" and "D" ain't supposed to change input "X" but only change input "Y".
      So I'm just guessing when you changed the same logic into quantum gates in "C" and "D" it's actually doing the opposite? They don't change input "Y" but they do change input "X". Is that what you're sayin?
      If that's the case, could you please explain more about the quantum gates at 12:12 ? What's the logic in those gates that changes input X rather than Y? Thx

    • @frameofessence
      @frameofessence  8 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      +VMEcycle6 This is the confusing part. It's actually the reason I admit defeat just before showing the gates. But I'll try to give it another go.
      The circle and cross by itself (like in circuit B) is the Pauli-X gate. It is analogous to the classical NOT gate, but it really just flips a qubit top-to-bottom. It's easy to describe as 'flipping', since a single qubit has 2 degrees of freedom, so we can describe it with a 2-dimentional transformation.
      The circle and cross connected to the other line (like in circuit C) is the Controlled-Pauli-X gate, but most people call it the CNOT gate because it's shorter. It is analogous to the classical XOR gate with one of the inputs branching out. I originally described it as "flip qubit-y only when qubit-x is 1", but that implies a causal relationship, which doesn't actually exist (so I kind of lied). What this gate actually does is flip the combined state of both qubits. This combined state is pretty much qubit-x and qubit-y molded into each other. It has 4 degrees of freedom, so it's really hard to describe what it's doing. I guess it's kind of like a 4-dimensional flip? But when you pull qubit-x and qubit-y apart again after the flip (unless they're entangled in which case you can't), qubit-x or qubit-y might have ended up individually flipping, unless one of them was symmetric about the flipping-axis and stayed the same.
      TL;DR version: the gate actually flips both qubits, but sometimes one of them is aligned with the flipping axis and we don't see a change.
      This is hard to describe without using linear algebra. If you want to learn more, you can try looking at the textbook that I linked to in the sources section of the video description. It teaches the math behind it all, which would hopefully make more sense.

      +Shortyman17 I am a developer, what do you mean by "gaming"? Quantum computing is slow for many things, quantum computing only has limited use so far. Most software, including games are coded using encapsulation, behaviour trees etc which makes it a huge pile of mess, so it is not linear on the macro scale. But on micro scale, software are basically linear. Quantum computers are not able to handle that mess.
      The only way I can see quantum machanics improving performance is that is to use them along with classical programming whenever they benefit the performance.
      Classical computing is a heavenly gift and it would be stupid to just toss it away because we got a fancier new toy. Integrate them together & you outperform both.

    So essentially what quantum mechanics does, as i understand it is... take a Schrodinger's cat principle (saying that outside observation can influence results, but before they are observed the answer is in both states at the same time) as well as take hard probability numbers of something happening, round them up and spit out a value that our human brains and simple computers can comprehend. Very interesting, thanks for the vid, ive always wondered how da fuck can 1 be a 0 at the same time, but basically since this actually works it takes advantage of multiple dimensional outcomes, which means we actually live in a reality that splits every time we fucking make a choice or observe something happening, meaning a tree falling in the woods makes no sound if nobody hears it... =O mind blown lol but seriously, i love quantum physics, the only science that makes sense in this chaotic world, the only science that says we have so much more to find out about the workings of this
    world... I wonder what would happen if we somehow plug in crazy figures into a quantum computer like Fractal formulas and the golden ratio, would it be able to calculate and somehow show us the super order of things... the actual structure of life universe and its development, cause those are the magical math figures and sequences that explains the chaotic order of nature, same as Pie or Fibonacci sequence...
    P.S. google is making an actual personalised quantum PC, so soon we will have computers that are smaller, faster and much smarter, which can bring about a ton of scifi stuff into reality, namely actual AI, fingers crossed we dont get Terminators XD

      quantum computers are deeply reliant on gate engineering for operations. new types of components are coming out every year so we've not really seen the ultimate nature of how processing will work. not all gates have the same limitations shown in the above.
      a good place to start getting a firmer understanding of the physical process is researching pi josephson junctions which are used in many research quantum computer systems and many derivative devices have been popping up allowing us to cheat the rules in various ways.

      It seems to me that referring to the superposition x-qbit shifting from "left" to "right" depending on how the y-qbit is superpositioned is only displacing the problem presented in the video... It still solves things one at a time does it not? The process described only explains how the machine operates but not necessarily how it actually does multiple computations, if it even does... Am i following?

    For a different conceptual way to look at this. I personally like to think of this problem as follows. You have four possible measurement outcomes (0 or 1 for each output) and you are trying to distinguish two possibilities. In the classical case (when you only input 0 or 1) then the two cases don't give different answers (you are asking the black box a question that both cases answer the same). When you feed in states right and left, you are queirying the box in a different basis (asking the box a different question) but this time the answers for your two cases differ. Basically think of the two options as let's say a banana or a kiwi, and you have only one question to distinguish them. In classical case you can only ask if they are a fruit (you cant distinguish them because they both say yes) in quantum case you still only get to ask one question but you can ask what colour they are.
