What will quantum computers be made of? | John Morton | TEDxYouth@RadleyCollege

Organised by Hyunjo Kim, TEDxYouth@RadleyCollege held a variety of talks under the theme, 'Event Horizon'. www.ted.com/tedx/events/49618 John Morton is the Director of the UCL Quantum Science and Technology Institute. John’s research involves the development of quantum technologies such as quantum computers and quantum sensors, using spins in semiconductors. After reading Electrical Engineering at University of Cambridge, John undertook at PhD (D.Phil) at University of Oxford, to work on techniques for controlling spins as quantum bits. His awards include the Nicholas Kurti European Science prize (2008), the Institute of Physics Moseley Medal (2013) in experimental physics, and the Sackler International Prize in Physical Sciences (2016). John has published over 130 papers with 11,000 citations and has an h-index of 48. He has co-founded three companies in the field of quantum technology, covering quantum computing hardware and software. John has been active in the public engagement of science, including public exhibitions, documentaries, radio broadcasts and popular articles on quantum science and technology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

For those who couldn't watch the full video, quantum computers will be made of Swiss cheese and pineapple juice.

Hhhhhh

[@NickDrinksWater]

yum

Google made a progress in Quatum computing, like to hear more of Google in that prospective.
And I am curious if it all can be minimized .Kind regards.

Great video. Given your vision for silicon, and the fact that silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth's crust, I was wondering if you have any insights into what is preventing the United States from increasing production of silicon metal?

17:31 is the answer. There's still room for innovation. His prediction 18:30

Science looks outwards? Spirituality looks inwards? Occam's Razor? Use what you are, a fully formed, equipped, working Quantum computer. Sing HU. Discover.

i cant wait to see quantum computers become more mainstream

[@inupankheaom5846]

cats in boexes, of course.

What was this arbitrary useless problem the quantum compter sovled faster? At least a game of chess is defined to rule out bias.

I'm glad that no-one is watching this shiz, we all know that a quantum computer is just a glorified freezer with a lil bit of make belief 😉
