World Science Festival
One of the strangest features of quantum mechanics is also potentially its most useful: entanglement. By harnessing the ability for two particles to be intimately intertwined across great distances, researchers are working to create technologies that even Einstein could not imagine, from quantum computers that can run millions of calculations in parallel, to new forms of cryptography that may be impossible to crack. Join us as we explore the coming age of quantum technology, which promises to bring with it a far deeper understanding of fundamental physics.
PARTICIPANTS: Jerry Chow, Julia Kempe, Seth Lloyd, Kathy-Anne Soderberg

That's amazing, this topic really interest me but I'm unable to stay focused more then 2 mins on books… Watching this video really helped me. I enjoyed it.
What about the advancements in hut technology? In Africa.
It is never wise to put the cart before the hoarse. A quantum computer operates in a nexus. The laws of physics do not apply in the gray area of this nexus.
Please learn from fertility clinics, scientists who splice DNA of animals with humans or mutagenesis , and every other scientist who has tried to play God! This is dangerous and we have been warned by these so-called "Sci-Fi" tv shows and movies what will happen or be the "end game"…
Julia Kempe is the most brilliant woman I've ever seen.
She's got a PhD in both Mathematics and Computer science and holds a Master's in Theoretical Physics while working on Quantum Computers and Finance.
That an electron in the same quantum state can be seen in different location after several measurement doesn't mean that before measuring the electron was in several places "at the same time". Maybe is more adequate to say that the electron before measurement is "nowhere" precisely.
I think there should be more concern that NASA and MSN own the only two quantum computers .If they do what they say they can do, and we know what MSN and our government are capable of…WE ARE QUANTUMLY SCREWED!
Dear Seth Lloyd, the world does not need another comedian. Please stay focused on science. Take a brake from the mind altering substances. Remember Seth, vanity is the devils favorite sin.
There is no real overlay, because Einstein was right, the Q-state was simply formed by causality, so the technology never works or is controllable in this way! Also, the variable parameters are never controllable in this way. And i thanks god for it, because if possible it would be our end!
Excellent panel with an awesome moderator. He asks pertinent questions, gives the guests equal time, and lets the panelists talk. No interjecting with corny jokes or pontificating on topics beyond his expertise (unlike one past moderator whom I shall not name).
You use 101001 to program quantum computers, in the book "contact" Carl sagan wrote that a mathmatical code was written in the universe using 0101…how long have you known.
Is it edible?
This will end crypto currency. Oh, nevermind, it's already dead.
Think I just had a nerdgasm
Pretty terrible. I've seen much better from WSF.

The smartest women I have ever seen.
32:08 I have been looking for a simple video explanation of Grover's algorithm running on a quantum computer. Jerry Chow explained it clearly. I am very grateful. Seems like in quantum programming, you start with all possible answers express in the number of entangled qubits and the encoded problem or your search for the answer is in the Oracle. Through a combinations of quantum gates, from all possible answers, one answer comes out as the right answer.
Cut this crap qubits or whatever. Just give us more classical processing at lower power consumption.
There is soo much poppycock in this discussion. Funders can rest easy …. there will be no quantum decrypting for a few hundred years to come. It is not going to happen next year, salaries do have to be payed, so keep funding please, otherwise the fun stops. Even when quantum decryption is getting closer (in a hundred years) we just make the keys a factor 1000 larger (doubling is not enough, I know) and decrypting is out of reach again.
Let’s keep doing the research on quantum ‘computers’, let’s not make these idiotic promises for the near future. However, I do sleep much better now the QC has computed that 15 = 3 x 5.
WSF gives me hope and entertainment.
Of course there is an Asian American on this panel?
Holy fuck, WSF. @ 33:00 — Have you really not been able to figure out how to show illustrations while a panelist talks?
I am a big fan of WSF, but this was the worst hosting of all the sessions I have seen.
I asked my old ICT professor, and he said that you can never find a programmer for that nonsence computer.
Thanks for the work done!
This is not the truth, they have simpler ways this is talk to makenit sound so complicated its a long way off. nanobugged the entangled particles allow the mapping of brain waves compated to vibration of AM crystal vibration NSA not many but a minds are listened to. Since 1990
Simple nanobugged. Complicated smoke screen.
Someone friend me and teach me quatum physics,, there is so much…
Weird how this feels like an advertisement…
This is all FAKE. They make this stuff up to justify spending trillions on "new technology" that is just smoke and mirrors. They are just normal computers
Is it possible that World Science Festival is recorded with something like 10 year old Chinese CCTV?
There is a great deal of hype surrounding quantum computing, but really, the results so far have been rather disappointing. The potential is there – but it's so difficult (and expensive!) to do the engineering, to create the software and get the performance that will outstrip any normal computers. But if that's what you want, don't hold your breath :0)
I gained ten I.Q. points just from liking this video.
I'm just wondering, how would a quantum playstation work?
would be AWESOME, but I'm still curious
Nobody explains why it took so long to develop a useful quantum computer..
Whoo, Seth Lloyd B)
Reminds one of why old names are what they are, for instance OR of OsiRis, SET, ISIS meaning to fix the ORder but of course it also negates expansion of creation hence the phallus missing version of the allegorical story. This is also like why Mr. AND-ER-SON or why Thomas S. Anderson is chosen as Thomas means twins. Likewise the RHEA-HERA-Earth(who is Gaia symbolism) the reflection of the UranUS-CronUS-ZeUS functional meaning. It is strange indeed that so many people who should have the knowledge & especially the mathematical ability to see patterns cannot for some reason look at history & see the probability insists this is an AI construct Russian doll style like what is depicted in HitchHiker's Guide or what those new world order Sphere within a Sphere mean at he Vatican & elsewhere. It's also what CERN means hence the purpose to try to usurp order-choice, to try & become that which imparts mass in the next instance of expansion of creation. I think an unwise long term plan but hey what would I know…LOL
Well someone helped themselves to the backstage mimosas. =)
