6 statements about Qubit, every show
Martinis: General-purpose quantum computers will require one million qubits
“And because of that, you're talking about a million qubit quantum computers to be general purpose and solve really hard problems. There might be some million. A million is a good round number for it. Maybe a little bit more. And right now we're at, you know, a…”
Vance: One million physical qubits yield roughly one thousand useful logical qubits
“There's this weird thing with quantum computing where you have to use all these funky software techniques to do this error correction stuff, and so if you have a million qubits, it comes down to about, like, A thousand are really, really useful for what you're…”
Shadbolt: Useful quantum computing requires roughly one million qubits
“The general consensus is that you need more like a million qubits to do anything commercially impactful with a quantum computer.”
Benjamin: Ion traps are the gold standard of qubits
“So they are actually the gold standard of qubits.”
Preskill: Quantum entanglement does not enable faster-than-light communication
“What sometimes Gets said, or the impression people get, is that that means that when I do something to my qubit, it instantaneously affects your qubit, even if we're on different sides of the galaxy. But that's not what entanglement does. It just means they're…”
