Professor Grivin...A genius mind explaining an elusive concept in a very comprehensible way. Indeed, Feynman said it rightly that if you completely understand an idea then you can clearly explain it to others. Thank you Qiskit.
Thanks to this video, I finally understood what the other TH-cam channels about Quantum Computing are trying to explain with great difficulty. Thanks Professor!
Thanks im a regular guy who has a little better understanding in the subject. I think the way he spoke. Really was logical and percise . I think quantum physics is a window into reality. I dont understand it but i still try.
Layman here. I think what confuses most people like me is the term “observe”. If I want to observe an animal creeping around in my backyard at night I’ll need to bombard it with photons. When I do, it might change its behavior.
Your question is really deep . I'm not sure that I can answer all of it, but I will try to give some insight. To observe/measure a quantum state in an experiment, the experimenter must do something to the quantum state that causes it to react in a detectible manner. I think the phase qubit example at 23:07 is a great example of this. In the experiment, Martinis was able to drive the |1> state of the qubit to a higher energy level so that it would tunnel out of the system, producing a detectable voltage response. If he drove the qubit and measured a voltage response the qubit was in state |1>. If no voltage was detected the qubit was in state |0>. This measurement is destructive, however, as any qubits in |1> have now tunneled out of your qubit and their information is lost. This changes your system. Lets say you have a state that is in a superposition (for simplicity sake let's say that it has some probability of being in |0>, and some probablity of being in |1>, though this definition for superposition is very wrong), when you measure the state, this superposition will collapse. You will either get |1> with probability and lose your qubit, or you will get |0> with probability . If you measured the qubit in |0> then measure it again and again you will always get |0>. You have changed the quantum system from a superposition to just the state |0> by destroying the qubit if it was in state |1>. For the other part of your question, which I interpret as: why don't these quantum ideas of measurement induced state collapse appear visible on the human scale? I will say that to my understanding quantum phenomena should be possible on all length scales, the problem is that quantum coherence (the ability for a state to maintain its entanglement and superposition) is very fragile and rare for large systems. The animal in your backyard has an unfathomable number of atoms all behaving randomly. The probability of all of those atoms randomly behaving in a coherent fashion is exceedingly low compared to the sea of states where they are incoherent. If they were miraculously coherent, that coherent state may only last for an imperceptible amount of time (for our eyes) due to all of the different ways that the state could decohere. I'm a bit shaky on this part of the explanation and would implore you/anyone else to try out Feynman's QED for some more insights on this idea. If anyone else has insights or corrections to what I said, I welcome them :)
I have come up with a very brilliant method of producing, observing, storing and controlling the state of information of a Q-Bit. Theoretically, I can produce millions of Qbits which can be observed quite easily. Without the need of electron microscopes or cryogenic refrigeration. The only thing I need is someone who knows how to write the program that uses quantum algorithms. As for bringing my quantum computer to an interface of a classical computer, what I need is a software engineer. To create the program for the interface.

I wish I had someone to talk out my naive understanding of this with - will you help TH-cam?! Are all these artificial qubits basically observing a quantum tunneling effect through detecting a voltage change in the josephson junction? But how is this useful for doing computation like in a classical computer?! Is the voltage change/ tunneling related to the computation result?
Josephson junction helps in creating a nonlinearity in the circuit that results in making anharmonic quantum levels which can thus be used as qubits. The reason behind the tunneling is quantum mechanical. Read up on superconductivity.
it will also be able to simulate a brain, may be big but it can when created as such, maybe even advanced ai, are they just sitting there equating the next sale at hm?

It's nice to see that the rational thinking person is wearing a mask to protect himself from coronavirus. He is much more important to the world than some random derp critiquing him for demonstrating that he is a rational thinking person.
I will make it even briefer : Between all your quantum component, you have to use connections, which are not allow to carry information faster than light. So all your superfast devices are useless, that why the main improvement one do is a shrinking process. A brief history of useless research.
Right, everyone whose research is on quantum computing is in it for the money. We all know how much money is in academia, ask any of these rich grad students!

amazing video. Thank you for uploading :)
4:06 you mean natural atoms?
Yes, this confused me at first. The channel should correct it with an annotation or something.
2:25 system spectrum needs to be "anharmonic." Interesting.
It must be pretty interesting to study relativistic effects using quantum circuits

i had an opportunity to meet this amazing man and the first thing i said to him was "what's your name?"
a shame i will never live down
Not to worry, Steve Girvin is not only brilliant, he is a very kind man and I'm sure he didnt mind.
a physics professor, peter persans, was at the same table, and he had to come up to me later just to make sure i knew who i was being so audacious at
I wish I had someone to talk out my naive understanding of this with - will you help TH-cam?!
