Separating Hope From Hype In Quantum Computing

Posted by timothy on from the semi-un-non-deterministic dept.

pgptag writes "This talk by Dr. Suzanne Gilbert (video) explains why quantum computers are useful, and also dispels some of the myths about what they can and cannot do. It addresses some of the practical ways in which we can build quantum computers and gives realistic timescales for how far away commercially useful systems might be."

    We can't even get people to read the articles referenced in submissions. That's wildly optimistic to expect us to watch a video that is over 2 hours long.

    This is begging for an "executive summary" from anyone who has time to watch it, if there is such a person.

      I just want to know what exactly is added to this presentation by using an avatar on a virtual stage.

      People want to bash powerpoint but someone takes up half the video area with superfluous (and bad) VR and no one minds?
