To simulate nature we need quantum computers. Full video on my Youtube channel 🎥 This is a partnership with Q-CTRL. #quantum #quantumcomputing

Nature is quantum mechanical. Each particle doesn't have a definite position, and instead exists in a cloud of probabilities until it is measured. This is why computers are not very good at accurately simulating nature, because each time you add just one more particle to a system, you're adding a near infinity of places it could be, and it becomes exponentially harder to compute. Richard Feynman said that we must let the computer itself be built of quantum mechanical elements. A quantum computer could more accurately simulate nature, because every time a new particle is added to a system, the quantum computer could store the state of that particle in a qubit. A qubit is the quantum version of a bit, which is normally just 0 or 1. A qubit can exist in a superposition, a combination of 0 and 1, until it is measured. One company working on this right now is QCTRL, which has an online learning platform called BlackOpal, where you can explore more of these ideas.
