Companies, countries battle to develop quantum computers | 60 Minutes

After years of phenomenal growth, computer technology has finally reached it’s infancy.

I did a paper on this in college 25 years ago, the quantum computer was only theoretical at the time. It’s amazing to see the advances

For computers to go from binary to quantum is like going from a 2D world to a 3D world of thinking.

I really don't think people fully understand what we're on the edge of. These could potentially break our understanding of reality

AI, quantum computing, and fusion energy will be the biggest advancements in technology in my lifetime. I'm excited and hopeful these technogies and their future are in the right hands.

As soon as anyone pulls out Michio Kaku for an explanation, it's over. The man excels at passionately speaking about interesting subjects without ever saying anything at all.

An AI on a Quantum computer is fascinating and terrifying at the same time😳

Props to 60 minutes for not dumbing this down to an insane degree. Pretty cool video.

I'm amazed by the speed at which technology has progressed. Today, just a little over 250 years since the Industrial Revolution began, we're on the cusp of breakthroughs incomprehensible. As exciting as I find all this, I'm concerned that we humans are stuck with our failings.

The holy Grail will be when machine learning goes quantum... It's capabilities will instantly scale up to millions of not billions times faster than how fast we can think. It truly will be the next civilization.

Some years ago Michio Kaku didn't think there were any quantum computers in existence. He said something along the lines of, "a sneeze a block away would cause decoherance". I think it was in reference to D-Wave quantum computers or something. How quickly things change.

I’d love to see it but at the same time it’s scary because of the power they have and its ability to unlock every encryption and harvest any and all data..

Regarding what the medical doctor mentioned about using a quantum computer, it certainly seems to me that one of the biggest problems in medicine is the human physiology is so complex that there is no one size fits all for every patient but that is what is done in the interest of efficiency and cost. There have been people, scientist who have cured their own cancer but it required a targeted medication made specifically for that one person. I would anticipate in the future and that when someone gets a disease instead of taking the next most promising drug, a new drug will be made specifically for that person.., imagine that?

The presenter has really tried his best to understand things from a layman's perspective and inform the viewers.

the group really did embrace this

I hope weather predictions can be done by Quantum computing. The most powerful computers right now are at best “close”. Quantum will essentially show “exact” locations and times for tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms and even localized lightning strikes. Imagine the lives saved.

Cool PC setup 9.5/10 needs LED lights

Maybe they’ll make a Skynet, that won’t be boring.

I love 60 min coverage of important topics. Unlike regular news. Thank you 60 min team.

Loved the Confidence 🎉
