Quantum Computing with Andrea Morello
Understanding Quantum Computing: Exploring the Potential of Qubits, Silicon-based Qubits, and Quantum Engineering for Future Technologies

00:00 - Quantum Computing with Andrea Morello
00:42 - 🧲 Quantum computing explained for electrical engineers.
08:50 - 🧪 The video discusses the concept of qubits and their role in quantum computing, explaining how they store and process information.
17:51 - 🧪 The video discusses the use of single phosphorus atoms as qubits in quantum computing.
26:15 - 🔬 Quantum error correction allows for the protection of quantum information from noise and errors, even if individual qubits are not perfect.
44:44 - 💡 Quantum computers are still in the development stage and are not yet producing useful work, but they have the potential to be more powerful than classical computers.
54:15 - 🔬 The video discusses the use of silicon in quantum computing and the challenges associated with it.
1:01:49 -🧪 Quantum computers are being researched using different methods including silicon-based qubits and superconducting circuits.
1:10:04 -🔬 Quantum computers are useful for limited outputs and require algorithms that convert the quantum bits into an equivalent classical state.
1:18:43 -🔬 The development of a quantum computer capable of breaking RSA encryption would require about 200 million physical qubits, and while there are no shortcuts to achieving this, funding is coming from government agencies and private sector companies.
1:27:39 - 💡 There is a growing field of quantum engineering that offers opportunities for engineers to get involved and develop quantum technologies for the future.
1:36:59 - 🔬 Quantum computing has two possible scenarios: it either works and becomes a practical technology, or it doesn't due to some unknown fundamental law of physics.
