Quantum computers obtain superpowers by tapping into parallel universes, says Hartmut Neven, the founder and lead of Google Quantum AI. He explains how this emerging tech can far surpass traditional computers by relying on quantum physics rather than binary logic, and shares a roadmap to build the ultimate quantum computer. Learn how this fascinating and powerful tech can help humanity take on seemingly unsolvable problems in medicine, sustainable energy, AI, neuroscience and more.

  • Maybe I missed it - does the presenter say anywhere in the video in how many fields you need to get PhD' s before watching this video?
  • @4LauraNP
    Nurse Practitioner here... wow! Wheels in brain rapidly turning! The applications in healthcare are immeasurable! Awesome! Thanks for what you do :face-red-heart-shape:
  • @colton_936
    Can't wait to see what's possible with quantum AI
  • And this was the easy way to explain it? Maybe in another multiverse 😊
  • @plateer42
    Show some results. Just another pretty presentation.
  • @benius42
    The day Google is reading your bloodsugar and smelling your food we are doomed.
  • @uapReX
    Now I want a 'Time Crystal ' :P
  • @Felixxenon
    I thought there was a purpose with his glasses through the video, but it was only for...
  • @WyFoster
    Quantum computer, can give you an answer to a yes or no question, and every answer in-between. Extraordinary.
  • I think concluding that superposition and quantum properties are signs of a multiverse is far-fetched. It's just that the rules governing things at that scale are different from what we experience. This doesn't necessarily imply that what we observe in the quantum world necessitates the existence of parallel universes.
  • @Bluth53
    This talk wasn't impressive - shades worn on the head though, are and will always be, so cool 😎
  • @mcpoulet13
    Is there a parallel universe where he doesn't have his sun glasses on his head while giving this talk because it would be less distracting.
  • So this is how I got here. He flipped a switch and I popped into this world with no memory of my previous world.
  • @reggieziet
    Well, with that sunglasses, Mr. Neven is even cooler than Quantum Computers.
  • @user-ro8vt4kj6o
    from past few years iim interested in quantum computers but don't know where to learn it from

  • @Laralinda
    So he must have some kind of theory how this "smartphone-NMR" should work. What is it? How it is supposed to work?
  • I have actually seen and bought a watch he was talking about , I was in Tokyo and this guy was walking towards me dragging two heavy suitcases and i asked him the time He looked at his wrist and he was wearing the most amazing watch i had ever seen !! I said " blimey thats a cool watch" He replied " Yeah it tells the time wherever you are in the world , it does complex calculations using your brain waves and has a wifi connection second to none" I said crikey that's brilliant where did you get it ?" He said " well actually this is for sale for 50 Dollars " I'm like "What? that's cheap as anything! can i buy it?" He said " Ok " and took it off and gave it to me As i walked away he said " You have forgotten the batteries" and slid the heavy suitcases towards me!! True Story
