How to Program a Quantum Computer
by admin on Jan.27, 2012, under Uncategorized
Quantum computing already exists, but on a truly miniscule scale. We’ll probably have molecular computers before true quantum ones, says the physicist.

@extropian314 But when we take computational complexity into account, we are not only referring to “faster processing”, we are referring to literally solving problems in infinitely more efficient ways.

@ILGAR93
but the problem is
what if a program crash?
remember how when explorer.exe crash , your computer will freeze?
and we have to reboot the program MANUALLY
now, if a program crashes in our brain ….

@y512516
wow. mind blown.
think if there would be a UI that would enable us to literally use our brain as a PC. like work on Photoshop or play a game IN OUR OWN HEADS! man…

@Gretgor666 He did, at 3:50

But no matter how fast I make a cockroach’s brain run, it’ll never understand anything new.

@Gretgor666 ,
At 3:40, he says that building larger quantum computers would enable us to build human-level AI. That’s a bit of an overstatement.
Granted, time-efficiency counts for something in a measure of intelligence, but it plays “4th fiddle” to *organization* and the ability to generalize.
Look, a human brain “running more slowly” (with the electrical signals somehow slowed down) would still be capable of solving the same problems, just in more time.

HA he’s a noob!! It took me 5 hours to compute on 5 atoms!! 5 + 5 is 55!! yeah!!

@extropian314 Plus, you have to take computational complexity into account when making this affirmation. It might be that pure speed alone won’t mean more intelligence, but when you can solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time, that’s quite an accomplishment, and it does imply more “intelligence”, so to say.

@extropian314 I didn’t see Kaku mention AI not even once.

@1Deejay7 My brain is also my computer. Just like a computer, it is overloaded with porn.

I’m not sure how i found these videos but, I can’t stop watching for some reason…

why build quatum computer when we already have the most powerful portable processor on earth
OUR BRAIN
only if we can harness it
January 28th, 2012 on 5:41 am
Michio Kaku always *overestimates* the impact of quantum computing on the field of AI.
Quantum computing just does a *subset* of what today’s computers do, but much *faster*. And more computing speed in-no-way means more intelligence.

@DarkLevis The trick about quantum mechanics is that, while u could encode an infinite about of information in a qubit, it is not actually possible to get all of that information out. When you observe it, you can only get a small part of the information back, and you end up destroying the rest of the information.

@supercarrot3000 The power in quantum computing comes from the fact that quantum bits (qubits) can be in a superposition of both 0 and 1. When you observe the qubit it will stap into the state 0 or 1, so in this sense, it is like an analogue computer on a very small scale. However, qubits in superpositions can be manipulated in ways classical objects cant before being observed, and this is why quantum computers are much more powerful. See Superdense Coding or Quantum Teleportation.

Yea, if we move away from bi-stable system, programming would be near impossible. Not to mention, through a few months of wear and tare, voltages change, which would render a quantum computer a peice of expensive garbage.

this tutorial sucks
January 28th, 2012 on 7:47 am
is there anything this guy doesn’t know?
what I mean is, although his discription for computer is quite basic. but the way he explains it is just so much simpler that the discussion of our instructors in Programming101

I know you probably wont get to read this, but this is what will probably happen: As you said previously, we are heading towards a type 1 civ. This will probably affect the computing world in its very roots; instead of buying each a computer strong enough to perform said operation(3×5=15), i think there will be ONE, or few computers, accepting requests from over the world, and sending out the answer almost in real time.

lol y wont u upgrade ?
imagine the components of your gaming pc change in color , size and style .. wont you change it ? i personally would change my pc every year -random PC gamer

I love this guy
January 28th, 2012 on 10:37 am
check out this computer programming video, would love feedback “youtu.be/xNjtf_WUdEQ”

This man is an addiction.

Did he just say.. Pentium?
January 28th, 2012 on 11:09 am
@SherwinGooch hes sying eventually you will reach the limit of silicon computing and will need a replacement a atom is so small if you made a quantum chip the size of a regular chip it would probably be millions of times faster
