Quantum computers are crazy and have the potential to change how we understand the world around us. I got to go see one with Marques Brownlee recently at IBM. It was wild! But quantum computers are not just better computers. Here’s the analogy that helped me…
If you like fun tech videos, you’ll love the full adventure to see a quantum computer with MKBHD!

it's not the waters that worry me. It's what might be lurking under the surface.
I have one question what about rockets 🤔 ??
It may "change our lives", but…those who have more (financial, influence) will mostly own it and control it. Those who have less, will form long queues to get a piece of it, most likely a trickle.
The comparison between a supercomputer and a quantum computer, even if the supercomputer is the fastest ever built, hinges on the fundamental differences in how they operate and the types of problems they can solve.
1. Supercomputers:
– Supercomputers are built using classical computing principles, where they process information in bits (0s and 1s). They perform operations by executing instructions in a sequential or parallel manner, depending on how many processors are used.
– The "fastest supercomputer" would still be bound by the limits of classical computation, no matter how advanced. For example, while they can solve complex calculations incredibly fast, certain types of problems (like factoring large numbers, simulating molecular interactions, or optimizing large-scale problems) become exponentially harder as the size of the problem increases.
2. Quantum Computers:
– Quantum computers, on the other hand, leverage quantum bits (qubits), which can exist in a superposition of states (both 0 and 1 simultaneously). They also take advantage of quantum entanglement and quantum interference to process information in a fundamentally different way.
– A quantum computer can potentially solve specific problems far faster than any classical supercomputer, especially for problems that scale exponentially in difficulty with classical computation. For instance, quantum computers are expected to revolutionize fields like cryptography, materials science, and drug discovery by solving problems that classical computers would take thousands or millions of years to complete.
Can the fastest supercomputer compare to a quantum computer?
In terms of raw power for solving classical problems, a supercomputer will always be more powerful than a quantum computer simply because supercomputers are designed to handle a broader range of tasks efficiently. But when it comes to certain specialized problems—like factoring large numbers (which is important for cryptography), simulating quantum systems (which classical computers struggle with), or other quantum-related problems—quantum computers have the potential to outperform supercomputers by orders of magnitude.
Conclusion:
Even the fastest supercomputer likely can't "compete" with a quantum computer on problems tailored to quantum algorithms. However, for general-purpose tasks, supercomputers are still the dominant force, and quantum computers are expected to complement classical computing, rather than fully replace it, at least for the foreseeable future.
stupid analogy. thank you for wasting my time!
Can u still play games on quantum computer? Like imagine 20k native resolution realistic ahh graphics makes u feel like ur actually on the Fortnite map (or whatever game u playing) imagine quantum computer with the most advanced stimulation technology .
MKBHD is not friends with her
🌌🌅🪩
Doesnt she look alike julia roberts
AI with quantum computing and we’re toast.
I love her I love her excitement her way of exploring, expression, and, explosion of knowledge is jus exactly what I need and the exact experience and excitement I was looking for .. ❤🎉😊😊😊😊
Destroy it
That explained nothing
When it can do more then a calculator and not replicate a toaster timer let me know and I still wouldn’t give a shit.
Your explanation create more confused
Marry quantum computers w crispr and IMMORTALITY
Science's worst nightmare
That is the worst explanation I have ever heard. Wow! You need better input on how to assess what a Quantum computer is and does.
Worse analogy.
Anyone here after the breakthrough at Oxford?
U look & sound soo sexy talkin bout this shit dayum
Can a quantum computer run fortnite
That's the worst explanation iv every heard.
Talk about making it seam like we are talking about a boat compared to a car or walking.
Better to say, this thing outworks all the different engines with an infinite amount.
“Impact our lives” got me thinking more like control them 😮
Trapped ion would be the one to progress us into the utopian quantum comouting utopia society. IonQ is working on trapped ion but before that's even close to possible they have to fix the scalability issue. They're working on photonic interconnects but if that doesn't pan out then that leaves only superconducting which is what d-wave is using for their quantum annealing so that's no help.
Horrible analogy
These computers is what will show God is real.
Can they build homes, plant crops or raise livestock?
"New Math" is another term for error, or miscalculation. Quantum computing is like a bar…it's five o'clock somewhere. A computer that in alternate universes calculate until one universe gets the right answer. I guess the universe with the correct computational arrangement…the universe with the correct answer is always your own? Naw, that's bullshit!
it seems like Synology to the initial time when computer were massive and not even that powerful
only difference, it's just gonna improve exponentially compared to back then ….❤️❤️🔥❣️
Thats the most BS I’ve heard this year
What governments are worried about is that once these come online NO conventional encryption will work, be that Top Secret files or your bank login details! They are so powerful they can crack the most complex encryption in under a second! 😕
It actually works at the quantum level which is REALLY out there & even Einstein couldn't get his head around it &, I think, refused to accept existed!
Unlike conventional binary computers which need to be in a switch state of either "on" or "off," quantum systems are in the weird state of being both "on" & "off" at the same time.
They will have billions of times the processing power of conventional systems! 👍
99.99% of what your are looking at there is the "cooling system!" For the computer to work it has to be at absolute zero (-273.15°C.)
You could actually fit the "brains" of it into the palm of a child's hand, it's like a slightly enlarged chip. 👍
That analogy does not work at all. Might have succeeded in fooling your stupid brain.
Oh nice, they let you touch it?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Magic computer, got it
Respect ma'am ❤❤❤❤
You are role model for young woman ❤❤❤❤
No pretty much a quantum computer will not make me better at league of legends
PC 2 is out 😂
In your analogy, a quantum computer would be an helicopter or a plane. You can go in different dimensions.
Quantum is very dangerous game. Look into Einstein Quantum physics and theories. It can destroy the human kind
That’s a terrible analogy.
Can we play brawl stars or fornite on it? Gyaaat
Could have used plane ✈️ instead of boat for analogy
Q.C. + A.I. =
I have yet to see some kind of breakthrough results of quantum computers. So far seems like a bunch of hyped bs.
Just an FYI. Quantum computers do not calculate things in parrallel. They dont calculate at all. It is interference of the superposition where certain waveforms cancel themselves out and others strengthen.
The algorithm has alot to do with the system working as much as having qbits in superposition. If you threw a normal algorithm at the system it would not solve it.
