SciAm Special: How Do Quantum Computers Work?

[Ru55ianGrim]

can it run notepad?

[AngeCord]

Why not make a quantum computer using cats as q-bits?

[Azkadaz]

He has a Quantum mouth.

[lceus]

I have a quantum computer in my head and I don't have a quantum computer in my head. That's pretty easy to understand, right?

[Celinancc1701]

I need a quantum computer; if i had one, maybe I would be able to play Starcraft 2 on ultra w/o lag.

[poomonkey65]

@SSgtParmer Then at least remember your creators, the human race.

[NathanLawson27]

60 second science? might want to change the name?

[daswada9]

can it play games ?

[KarateKid430]

He's a jew.

[bloodaid]

Damn! His jaw when he says S! Like Edbassmaster would say: just look at it! Would you just look at it?!?!?!

[PirateMcSandwich]

I had to re-watch the video because the first time i was just staring at his mouth

[pavelrocky]

As a sci-fi fan, I've alway wanted to get a handle on this concept. Many thanks JR for finally explaining it in a way that finally made sense to me. Cheers.

[msdenizalti]

He is like the real-life version of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory :)

[hankaaron1961]

Okay, one thing I've learned about Quantum Physics is that anytime someone mentions an atom or particle being in two places at the same time, I know not to listen any further.

[idiosynkrass]

funny guy.

[Electricshrock]

Oh right, now I get it... not.

[kasuskasus]

@SSgtParmer Please spare me! *grovels*

[djskyline701]

This guy is a recovering meth addict...I think hes going thru withdrawals because his jaw keeps tweaking..

[SiliconBong]

Perhaps he has tourettes djskyline701.

[A7med455]

???

[marcman52]

What the hell is this guy smoking?

[shiznak55]

its not theoretical anymore. they hactually have Qcomps with like 10 qbits or some shit, and that was 3 years ago.

[AndiOliverI]

Couldn't here a thing from you, all my attention went to your moving jaw on every "s" sound you escaped...

[vinsta76]

He has no control over his lower lip. It kicks out to the side with every sss. interesting tho

[ugmaremp]

Those eyes make him look like hes steady smoking crystal meth.. and the mouth thing isnt helping either

[MikeM8891]

Noah built an arch 300 q-bits. it must have been the fastest boat ever.

[djaa2807]

Very vague but simple description

[CAMCABO4KAX]

0:46 it's not correct, a "normal" computer can emulate a quantum computer, so the QC is just faster, but it can't do any things which a normal PC can't (even if a PC would need much more time to do them)

[Mariuspersem]

ssssssssssssssssss, ssssssss

[navigatorDNS105]

bottom lip need a minor alignment...

[rubikfan1]

lol what a super nerd, but i like his computer

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

the internet will be way faster

[gravitymindofgod]

The Secret is Spin.

[bangthatdrumb]

idiot

[VitaminE4d4]

how can a switch be on and off at the same time? you just opened up a paradox my friend!

[MumblingMickey]

yes... it can have not just two ... but in fact an infinite degree of possibilities... that's quantum mechanics for you!

[killbilly069]

bottom lip: STAGE RIGHT!

lol...sorry...

[Kezara]

Is it just me, or does his mouth appear to be attempting to escape from his face ever few seconds?

[velasweeps]

LOL kezara!!! LOL

[zagnonian]

@Kezara lmao haha

[ashleypina1]

@Kezara lol. It's a quark... I mean ... a quirk.

[tgoolsby2]

@Kezara only when makes the 's' sound.

[syedraza70]

@Kezara The escape phenomenon is one of the side effects of quantum physics

[mexicano7771000]

@syedraza70 Hahaha this made my day good sir (:

[vrshowdown]

@Kezara its reacting to a quantum state. lol

[slugga06]

@Kezara Its a quantum mouth, it's in two places at once.

[decay]

@Kezara it happens when he pronounces "s" HAHA

[jricestadsvold]

@Kezara you just made my day

[n11lc]

Lol, shut up.

[sociboy]

the coins thing was very useful in demonstrating the two positions simultaneously. how come there wasn't any mention of lights and photons and that sort of thing though? I thought these played a big part in QC's
