Feynman understood that at the atomic level, you know, it's not just about zeros and ones. 64 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,480 It's about electrons. 65 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,040 Right. 66 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,840 And these particles that behave like waves. 67 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Yeah. 68 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,880 And quantum computers can tap into this wave-like nature. 69 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,280 Right. 70 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,640 Which allows them to kind of go beyond the limitations of binary systems. 71 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,360 Okay. So instead of bits, we have quibits. 72 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:55,760 Right. 73 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,680 Okay. I get that quibits can be both zero and one at the same time, but like how can you help me wrap my head around that? 74 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,360 It's just like, it sounds like science fiction. 75 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,400 It does sound like science fiction, but you know, think of it like this. 76 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,720 You flip a coin. 77 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,280 Okay. 78 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,840 It can land on heads or tails. 79 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,480 Right. 80 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,720 But with a quibbit, it can land on heads, tails, or both at the same time. 81 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,840 Oh, wow. 82 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,600 And that both at the same time idea. 83 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,480 Okay. 84 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,760 That's really the key to the power of quantum computing. 85 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:31,280 So you're telling me that this both at the same time thing is what gives quantum computers like their crazy power? 86 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,160 Exactly. 87 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320 How does that even actually work? 88 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,440 So basically it allows these computers to perform calculations in parallel universes. 89 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,080 Whoa. 90 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,880 So to speak. 91 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,360 Okay. 92 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,240 You know, similar to that famous thought experiment. 93 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:44,640 Yeah. 94 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,680 Schrodinger's cat. 95 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,080 Right. 96 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,920 The one where the cat in the box is both alive and dead until you look at it? 97 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,400 Exactly. 98 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,720 Okay. I think I'm starting to get it, but how does that translate to like real world stuff? 99 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,000 Well, think about it this way. 100 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,640 Yeah. 101 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,720 A problem that might take a classical computer like billions of years to solve. 102 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,040 A quantum computer could potentially crack that. 103 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,440 Really? 104 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,560 In a fraction of the time. 105 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,840 That's just mind blowing. 106 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,840 It sounds like this quantum supremacy thing is a really big deal. 107 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,480 It is. 108 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,600 But I also read about this challenge called decoherence. 109 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,160 Right. 110 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,280 What's that all about? 111 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,560 So decoherence is one of the biggest hurdles in quantum computing. 112 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,640 It's like, imagine trying to balance a spinning top on a bumpy road. 113 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,200 Oh, yeah. 114 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,640 Any little disturbance from the environment can knock those quibits out of their delicate 115 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,600 quantum states. 116 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:33,840 Right. 117 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,720 And that leads to errors. 118 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,800 So how do scientists even like deal with that? 119 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,960 So right now, to maintain that coherence, most quantum computers need to be kept at 120 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,720 incredibly low temperatures. 121 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,760 Wow. 122 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,040 Like close to absolute zero. 123 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,560 Close to absolute zero. 124 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,760 But wait, doesn't nature already use quantum mechanics? 125 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,080 It does. 126 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,160 At room temperature, like in plants and stuff? 127 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,040 That's a great point. 128 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,640 Yeah, you're talking about photosynthesis. 129 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:00,880 Yeah. 130 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000 Which is a quantum process that's essential for life on earth. 131 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,400 Yeah. 132 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,680 Plants have somehow figured out how to maintain coherence at room temperature. 133 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,640 That's wild. 134 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,280 So nature's already mastered something. 135 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,240 It has. 136 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,680 That we're still struggling with. 137 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,480 It makes you wonder what other secrets nature has. 138 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:18,880 Yeah. 139 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,640 That could like, you know, help us advance this whole quantum computing thing. 140 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,120 Absolutely. 141 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,800 But even with this challenge of decoherence, you know, the potential benefits of quantum 142 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,560 computing are just huge. 143 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,200 Huge. 144 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:31,680 Yeah. 145 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,600 So let's talk about those benefits. 146 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,000 Oh, great. 147 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,400 What are some ways that quantum computing could actually like change our lives? 148 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920 Well, the possibilities are basically endless. 149 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:42,480 Yeah, bet. 150 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,200 I mean, just imagine using quantum computers to develop more efficient fertilizers. 151 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,160 Oh, wow. 152 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,880 You know, addressing the limitations of the Green Revolution. 153 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,200 Right. 154 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,680 And ensuring food
