  • The best idea I have is to create a sphere lined with some material capable of reflecting cosmic rays and other crazyness. Next would be to have only the atoms in the sphere, nothing else. A vacuum plus the atoms your using would reduce the effects of random vibration, but when the vibrations happen, perhaps the atoms could be dependent on a different gravitational force, or momentum acting fast enough that the atoms obey it as if it was gravity. Thats the best I got, but I don't know for sure..

  • Dr. Michio Kaku, what hope do neural networks hold for information processing? Can this framework provide a interface between physical symbol systems and our biological neural networks?

  • Challenge Accepted.

  • I should do my homework, but this is too interesting.

  • dig a hole a thousand feet down. In that hole put pistons coming from every angle that auto adjust to even the smallest changes in the earth. Now, connected to those pistons put a large sphere the size of a building. The outer skin of this sphere would be made of our best shielding against frequency, atomtic rays, the general muck of the universe. In the center of the sphere, dangle a box from wires. In that box, put your quantum computer.

  • How do we ask him a Question ?

  • Ins'nt it possible to have infinite states between 0 and 1?

  • if u look at a quantum computer, it crashes lol

  • 'chairs, desks, tables, peoples, lamps' Wait what?

    I SEE PEOPLES

  • Um, they current computing technology combined significantly exceeds even that of the human brain. Our computes aren't as versatile as a cockroach, and may not learn as well, but in terms of raw processing power computers significantly exceed that of a cockroach's brain.

  • @11Stonecold11 Well first off he said robots, not all computers ever. They do actually have an incredibly difficult time doing anything at all. However, i would have to disagree with him on this because it is essentially a programming issue at this point. There is no actual artificial intelligence. All of these robots are just machines executing preassigned commands. The reason they cannot see chairs or decipher speech is because they cannot think, not because they are slow.

  • well duh you just need a quantum electron stabilizer ^_^

  • Was anyone else thinking of Terminator?

  • Big Problem with Quantum Computing is that Quantum Computer can break any password on the planet in the matter of seconds.

    There would be a total chaos only fingerprint password might work or some bio passwords / iris scanner it creates massive security issues

  • @wexa89 Passwords have always been weak. It's a poor form of protection. In the future, we'll have AI. That will guard things intelligently.

  • @ThomasRojan I hope so but what rules / politics the AI follow ?

    Can AI truly be neutral or will the ones who create it define the rules it follows / Decisions it makes regarding millions of users identity ?

    There are quite a few examples today how different governments sensor / monitor the internet.

    But i m an optimist i hope in the future we might have better rules for the world in general :)

  • the i-Quantum

  • Thats it... im declaring myself a whore.. Why? Because im getting mind fu**ed everywhere ... And like it XD

  • I need this for my WoW bot.. got the same problem as the cockroaches

  • I dream of the day when we make the transition from silicon tech(retarded dust mite) to retarded cockroach to drunk rhino and beyond.....

  • Pardon, but Einstein was a patent clerk...

  • Michio Kaku should be president of the US. I think a little bit smarter than Barack and the republican candidates, and by "a little", I mean he makes them look like lobotomized, mentally challenged cockroaches. :D

  • solution:

    1:Have automated suspention on quantum computer to avoid motion interferance.

    2:Have lead casing to stop waves.

  • @SuperRustyTrumbone "Automated suspension" in what direction of which of the millions of waves per second to compensate for?

    Also: what about reaching about zero Kelvin and keep it that way?

  • @TheDigitalStone i thought the led would stop all waves.

    what about zero kelvin? ps. you cant reach it.

  • @SuperRustyTrumbone

    About lead: If you were to encapsulate your QC with lead, the waves would create heat inside of the lead, causing the decoherence to fail as a result and even more energy would be needed to reach near 0 Kelvin.

    Also, Where to let the heat out inside 'closed' lead?

    About zero Kelvin: I know i said "about". I meant "near" :)

  • @TheDigitalStone point taken.

    copper mesh can stop radio waves and let out heat. i wonder if that applys to this?

    oh and if you need to keep q pc's at such a low temperature, then it would take so much energy, so that it wouldnt even be worth making

  • @SuperRustyTrumbone I think it's the same with copper mesh. It will heat out, including into the direction of the q pc.

    But you're right, my thought were also like... is it worth it all if such gigantic energy is needed?

  • A lobotomized mentally challenged cockroach. Hilarious.

  • i don't want to be the next Edison i want to be the the first emperor of humanity

  • 2:30 i couldn't do my homework because my dog ate my five atoms

  • must build quantum computer, I accept the challenge

  • And I thought my girlfriend was fragile..

  • labotimized mentally challenged cockroach.. nice. ;)

  • My new favourite insult : "Shut up you lobotomised, mentally challenged cockroach!" >:D

  • @GaaaDing

    Haha! I actually use that man. It always make them shut up... they don't have a comeback for that one :D

  • Wow...I thought Carl Sagan motivated me to study more about Science, Dr Michio Kaku blew me out of the water...

  • 3x5 is 15? OMFG =O

  • mierda yo quiero trabajar contigo!!!!

  • im afraid hes wrong, the simple dynamics of qunatum computing could not possibly revert to our franchise-based state, i mean why colonise if the true basics arent meant with any sufficient referendum? it seems completely obselete without any true core. Do the math. It will never WORK.

  • Challenge accepted.

  • and use it as a power source. i mean if we can use atoms in computers we can sure as hell get more energy out of solar energy than the public currently can. all the problem is is money. if you can fund it, i would spit out ideas better than thomas edison. i mean, the money just isnt there. money is holding back humanity from advancing. dont you think thats a little unfair given our current state of being. lacking resources and all. i mean come on. i propose money be destroyed or made simpler

  • and then you would need to be able to establish some sort of boson. like photons to make the electron, muon, tau, ect... to switch from being up to being down. and even then is electrons the easiest to work with? what about light? we can seperate light into a whole spectrum... there has to be something more.. and then we get into the issue of power. we need some really good super conductors to help keep it all going at full capacity.... or even use light that is being gathered to change info...-

  • splitting into different possabilities bringing in the very funciton of the brain. science. where it can deduce a more correct answer by having the exact info in there using more or less massive leptons maybe? we would need it to have different sections like the brain does, where the answers can conclude. this means we would need to configure a large sequence of numbers that equal other numbers that can bring us to a different answer in which it can see which one has the more likely outcome.....

  • "if you can create a quantum computer that computes on individual atoms and electrons, you would be heralded as the next Thomas Edison." CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ;D. lol but really, we would need to be able to manipulate bosons for that... and as far as i know. we cant... i mean if you could get the right amount of gluons in a some sort of magneticaly charged capsule with say 7 atoms and 7 electrons. but what if its more complicated. adding depth to the yes no. and adding but "sometimes this" -

  • I'm a computer science major and I can attest to the fact that computers are miserably stupid.

  • I love his analogy for the robots. A lobotomized, mentally challenged cockroach. lol

  • 3 times 5 is not 15

  • What about a magnet inside the computer attached to all of these atoms that keeps them all at the same angle every time that the actual machine is moved?

  • D-wave systems is actually releasing a 256 bit quantum computer soon (As in, a few years...). They only have their proof of concepts done and are ready to mass produce them, but they have their prototype working.

  • Well in physics a Quantum computer is hard. But in reality for us people, its impossible :3

  • @NorthWolfs impossible no extremely hard yes

  • @hungrymusicwolf Impossible us non scientists, yes. Extremely hard, yes.

  • i understood physic then i took an arrow to the knee

  • Challenge Accepted.

  • 15!!!! the answer is 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Challenge accepted !

  • No that would be the next Nikolai Tesla.

    Edison would be the guy who managed patent and sell it.

  • @DeMause Did you read that article on reddit? haha.

  • @99str3ngthx2 Nope.

  • @DeMause dont forget, stole and uncredited

  • Why can't we create a guide vein for the computing atoms, much like an audio optical cable? Or, for that matter, it just seems to be an insulation issue. Any thought's?

  • Challenge accepted.

  • Challenge Accepted!

  • If you made a Quantum Computer, you'd be using a hundred dollar bill to wipe your ass.

  • @DarkZerkerX i suggest searching for "DWAVE" (it's a company)

  • If humans could master quantum mechanics transformers would be a reality

  • this video's title should be called "Mentally Challenged Cockroaches"

  • Comment removed

  • aw man, i have homework?!

  • Trinary Computing?

  • That was incredibly funny, but incredibly true.

  • Dr. Michio Kaku? Why not proffesor Michio Kaku?

  • the amount of number from 0 to 1 is infinite, but you can always jump o nearest integer.

  • Build a structure to house one? LOL

  • i had no idea what this super nerd was getting on about..i thought he was gonna talk about the cure for cancer.

  • @SolidTube911 What part of "The Future of Quantum Computing" told you that it was a video about the cure for cancer? And if he spoke in simpler terms I'm afraid the "lobotomized, mentally challenged cockroach" might start to comprehend.

  • next Thomas Edison hmmm...

    back to the drawing board now

  • You will be heralded as the next Tesla****

  • challenge accepted... *knows nothing of quantum physics* FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUU-

  • Next Edison? Edison would look like a noob compared to the guy who invents quantum computers

  • This guy man... I love this guy. 

  • I love how he always says "We physicists" as if he is involved in quantum computing of any type.

  • @ephidapoon He is closer than you are.

  • @ShinzukuTomoke you too. so what.

  • Hey I am offended!! - cockroach..

  • we are biological atoms computers are just performing maths with 0's and 1's (binary) simulated off electrical signals that run around you computers motherboard, using molecular system would allow for a more advanced ability in these calculations they won,t feel emotion joy or pain but will be able to make more complex decisions. Its emotion & logic that makes us intelligent the 2 are entwined in our brains, quantum computer systems would be one step closer to becoming self aware indefinitely.

  • Dr. Kaku is a fucking G.

  • easy ... awnser, create your Quantum computer in a place where there is no gravety .. duhhhh

  • @SupremeLordReptyle wow your so smart, so much smarter than anyone else on the whole planet, you should call MIT or Nasa right now they are missing out on your genius........

  • @SupremeLordReptyle on the moon :P

    man can already get there

  • @shune84 So I'm gonna have to go to the moon to play call of duty 26 on max graphics?

  • Those retarded, lobotomized Roaches still whip my ass in chess

  • the awkward moment when you actually use 5 atoms to calculate 3x5

  • I'm the top comment??? OMG my life is truly completed now!!!!

  • @MrsLautnerForever1 u r not

  • Challenge Accepted!

  • He says you can't get smaller then an electron. But what if you can? What if the 4th demension or the 0 demension is there. :O

  • I once saw on a video *sorry for my ignorance*

    that water can actually have "memory" that it has an ability to save a shape...

    I'd like to see that before i die...

  • @MrDragonknight94 If you have a series of pairs of cup where one cup is labelled 0, and another cup is labelled 1 and only one cup can be filled with water at a time, then technically you can have memory based on the cups filled with water. I don't know about the ability to save a shape with water though, sounds a little bit far-fetched.

  • @eeg10 if you have enough space water and cups and some automatic way of transferring the water from the cups then yes

  • @shune84 Yea I agree with your statement. It would be a pretty damn slow processor. However, I've never heard of the notion of water saving "memory of its own shape or a previous shape" though. That implies each molecule somehow has a way of remembering its position relative to an outside point.

  • I wish I live to see quantum computers.

  • I don't think moore's law will flat out collapse. Cloud-based technology seems like a viable work-around to making chips smaller and smaller. In other words, we can just build bigger and bigger supercomputers that do the computations for surrogate machines. That leads to all sorts of privacy issues, but I don't think those issues will offset the cost of R&D for other things.

  • @anonymousbl00dlust Have one quantum computer, a quantum "server" that is built in a place that can withstand vibrations and cosmic rays and just have electronic silicon based computers connect to it?

  • I hope VEDA like in the anime gundam 00 which is a quantum processing unit will be a reality.

  • We will have molecular computers and biological computers before we have quantum computers

  • An optical Quantum computer would be faster than an electric quantum computer but one working up at the highest gamma frequencies could really kick arss.

  • @QPWimblik

    Quantum computers have to use optical fibres today anyway lol so it wouldn't make a difference.

  • @donkisiko Working with a Photon+some Positron field at higher frequencies isn't better than the starting point of atoms and atomic spins with regards to quantum computers.

  • Wish atoms were on sale now

  • Where can I buy Atoms???

  • @duranarts nowhere ... because they are everywhere

  • @duranarts i got some 500 for 50 cents you must buy in bulk no less that 5 trillion per order

  • @duranarts simple, ur local hardware store :D

  • if you believe in religion you are automatically mentally challenged cockroach

  • @TurkiyeCumhurbaskani not true. im athesit, but wwe have to give people pluralism.

  • QBO begs to differ ;P

  • I am a lobotomized mentally challenged cockroach, and I find this offensive.

  • Yeah, my brain only uses about 5 atoms to figure out 3x15..

  • @LividLobotomist retard comment is retarded

  • ADM could build super large animals and we just have everything we need, then let the animal decompose and it would have been more power efficiency than eating yucky veggies.

  • He should have said "if you can steal the ideas to create a quantum computer and pass them off as your own, you will be hailed as the next Thomas Edison"

  • I'm subscribing.

  • Next Thomas Edison? Pshh. I'd rather be the next Michio Kaku. Anyone?

  • @aidanc0406 no

  • thats why we need to start on some serious space stations

  • 3x15 is..... um.... fuck some help pls?

  • Mind=Non existent

  • Create a shield.

  • @EntityUnknown1

    That's what I was thinking.

    I bet they've thought of that as well.

    It's probably not that easy.

    How are you going to stop things like cosmic rays and vibrations, and other factors that might affect the orientation?

  • @youtubian2500

    How would that affect us, the life on planet.

    The whole evolution of life on this planet happened under this stuff, for sure it affects us in some way / a part of us / affects our functioning.

  • Oh Come on! Dr Michio Kaku, stop complaining all the time about the slow and insufficient progress of nanotechnology for building more powerful computers.

    In the meantime, just make a bigger computer: One the size of a skyscraper like Empire State Building, make a computer the size of Manhattan.

    Problem solved.

  • @deutschbuch30 not really, you're not taking into consideration the amount of electricity, maintenance, time to build, etc. all this will cost a lot, nano technology will solve a lot of problems.

  • so we need to make a constansperical sheild out of some shit to... fuck i dont know what im talking about

    i failed

  • That sad moment when you don't know what else to watch because you've already seen all of Dr. Michio Kaku's videos :'(

  • @MrsLautnerForever1 I know that feel bro.

  • @MrsLautnerForever1 the sad moment when you start rewatching them...

  • @MrsLautnerForever1 VSauce. That's what to watch.

  • I love this guy!

    But I hate Thomas Edison...

    I would say "as the next Nicola Tesla".

  • @Static172 Thomas Edison was a greater innovator than Nicola Tesla though...

  • @daberko120ch

    Actually, No.

  • @daberko120ch Edison prayed every night of his existence to have even half of the genuis that Tesla possessed..

  • @bvdek Yes, but is Telsa crowned greatest innovator of all time? no. I'm not disagreeing with you, lol. I'm just saying Edison has been crowned by many historians the greatest innovator of all time.

  • @daberko120ch Got references to any of the "many historians"? You're right though, you can't be disagreeing with me, because I never said anything about Tesla being 'the greatest innovator of all time' lol. Either way, in Edison's case he wasn't so much of an "Innovator" as he was a conniving rip-off artist who profited enormously from other people's ideas and inventions! Don't get me wrong Edison did contribut a lot, but he was really just a crook in a suit. Tesla was pure Genius!

  • believe in human vibration? Everyone has their own vibration. What is reality?

    may be distorted?

  • What is Edison comparing to Tesla?!

  • This guy doesn't know Watson.

  • @Malk007 watson is amazing!! thank GOD for IBM!

  • Run

  • Will it tun crysis 2

  • what about that IBM cpu that supposedly resembles the brain of cat???

  • 3 * 5 = 15. I learned something new today

  • you would need complete radio isolation. basically, the computer would be in a lead box. Because every radio wave disturbs electrons. As many know, microwaves produce heat, and that in terms controls how fast particles move, and what molecular state the atoms are in. With the world's most popular form of communication (cellular phones) and other forms of communication using microwaves to transmit data, this could be a major problem.

  • I am a lobotomised, mentally challenged cockroach and I find this video offensive.

  • @LOSTKILLERDRAENEI No you're not, you're a copycat.

  • this man makes me feel smarter, he radiates IQ.

  • This video would have 100+ million views if it was titled, "Quantum Computing and how it will Revolutionize the porn you watch today!!"

  • You forgot an even smaller one. Photon computers. (sarcasm)

  • Michio Kaku is awesome, the next Carl Sagan!!

  • 10 to 15 years is NOTHING!!! I love it

  • so he knows how to build a computer out of five atoms, but at 1:27 he needed to look at his paper when naming the four different kinds

  • The present is the beginning, the future a waits.

  • The next Thomas Edison?

    That guy was so overated. 

  • Comment removed

  • @desirefirst Why did you delete that comment sparky?

  • Already invented this, the government is currently using my technology for finding the cure for AIDS and Cancer.

  • i took 5 atoms, and then did 3x5=15 AND 4x5=20 out of my head.

    am i a genius now?

  • I used to have a quantum computer, but then I smashed it in rage when I kept seeing all these repeated memes. Sorry physics, internet subculture is holding you back.

  • "If you can...?" challenge accepted.
