It's so often the case with really intelligent people, smart enough to understand how much we don't know, and therefore empathetic to those who know less than they know, knowing that those differences in knowledge are so hugely relative.
I have watched several other videos she's done on internal IBM sites, and she just does an amazing job of making the complex world of quantum computing so easy to understand. Its probably why she is IBM's face of quantum
After watching only 3 videos, my understanding of quantum computers is this: Classical computing flips a coin, allowing for only two states to compute information; Quantum computers roll a die, increasing information processing exponentially. But, current technology sees the die rolling off the table too often to see the result. Adding additional dice won't help, we need a better table so we can read the dice.
L1: How can this help with my homework? L2: How can I impress people with this? L3: How can I access and explore this? L4: How can I help you? L5: How will those behind us make use of this?
L7: Yall still using quantum, pfft. Here I have a game called tuber simulator. Im not supposed to give my opinion but why don’t you try it out and tell me if it is good or not.
Today I watched a video of someone of indeterminate age talking about quantum computing with people of different ages and being on their level every time and what I learned is why that's funny.
As 5 years have passed, I'd love to see a follow up to this video - where are now, what we know, what has changed, things we didnt expect... fascinating
She's pretty awesome. It's rare indeed to find someone who is intelligent enough to understand very challenging topics and still be able to connect to people at different levels with social grace to boot.
+Daniel Belchamber Yeah, I hope she does science communicating whenever she has the time. Scientific fields often have the problem that its greatest minds are also the worst at relaying their ideas in an intersting manner to younger people... There's a reason Neil DeGrasse Tyson is so popular, he can do it too.
People say this a lot, in my career in physics I've actually found that extremely intelligent people are actually more amicable and friendly than the general populace. It's just stereotyping that makes people believe this.
But the chosen prospects on each level should be chosen based on high levels of understandings of math according to their age to make it more accurate.
LOL I know what you mean. I am a coder and that part made me think there's no chance this little girl is going to understand how binary translates into instructions. It's hard stuff to explain on a 6 year old level. It's hard to explain (or understand) on any level
Sure, because teaching one person at a time, with cameras perfectly set, and probably a script well prepared, and and and, that's a whole different story.
14:32 He learned Quantum Optics. Now he can see without opening his eyes. But he actually opens his eyes, but we can't see it. Because his eyelids are open and close at the same time.

Sadly, UG students often learn too much by roting, and hardly understand any. They forget most in 5 years. It is better to learn while applying them. The old apprentice model actually makes more sense.
@@y.z.6517 that seems highly degree-based. Even then, you don't go to university to get good at a job (like the apprentice model), you get skills and knowledge to be competitive in a field. Also, I don't quite know what majors you're referring to that don't expect you to also be working at least 2/4 of the years you're in uni to get practical training. Not to mention that many degrees require a background knowledge to be of any real use (engineers, scientists, lawyers, political scientists, scholars, doctors, etc) and the apprentice model is only particularly useful for things that don't require theory to master (like trades (ya know, the things that still use the apprentice model), technician jobs, and unskilled labor). Hope that wasn't too long for you, but the idea that UG students "learn too much" shows a fundamental misunderstanding about the purpose of both universities. It could be argued that UGs have to take too many superfluous courses but that's a different and subjective argument.
I love how the undergrad student is actually learning, she is a good student. She asks and give a shot answering questions. She even made a conclusion of what she learned.
Well considering what they were talking about I doubt that WIRED wrote any of that. Most likely she was the one who came up with most of it. Obviously it was scripted beforehand. Even the questions were most likely scripted to some degree, but I don't think it made the video any worse. Still well explained.
I mean it's essentially 5 levels of lecture, there's roadmaps and things but if you understand something well enough it isn't terribly hard to explain like this offhand.
I think that was so that we could follow the conversation. I'm sure if they weren't doing this video there is a good chance that we would not understand a word.

Professor Steven Girvin has obviously spent a lot of time concentrating very hard, his eyes are now in a constant state of that "thinking really hard squint."
@@alexismandelias imagine giving encouragement to students instead of trying to force them to learn things in some specific way without them having the motivation to do so
What I find absolutely brilliant about Dr Talia, is her communication skills. She asks some questions and is able fine tune her communication level to the level that is required to be understood. Maybe it's just the people in my own life but I tend to find the more advanced a person is in their field, the lower their level of build rapport or communicate their ideas (it's so bizzare).
It's because they don't fully understand what they know. People that really understand what they know are capable of communicating it to other people the simplest way.
The real reason is lack of practice. People's brains adapt to the tasks they're used for. Many advanced-level people spend most of their time doing research and not so much on teaching, so they naturally become better at the former at the expense of the latter. This is what happened to me.
scientist - this is a quantum computer, it's cool af (literally and figuratively) and it's fast af child - ooooo, shiny! teen - but can it get me a bunch of likes tho? undergrad - ok sweet but i need this in my dorm grad - sure fellow scientist - my eyes are in a quantum superposition of being both open and closed simultaneously
we were able to conclude that she is a live example of superposition state which means she taught well and we learnt well and applied the understanding to real world. Its a good thing.. Isn't it?
@Victoria If you were her but with your current knowledge, you'd still only be you. She got to be her through many, many years of studying. That's how you can be her also.
They are normal people just put themselves into there study, even an idiot could become so good at something it's mind boggling, it takes time to get amazing at something.
The expert is an awesome teacher!!! She listens, encourages and obviously knows her stuff. her demeanor just puts you at ease and makes you want to hear & learn more
Its like the 2 of them are in superposition, where they can be agreeing with each other, while arguing with each other and themselves... Schrodinger's cat...Or something. And spooky action. And stuff.
The super-hipsters have been dyeing artificial greys for a few years now. But I don't think she is. She might be a real woman near 40 letting it shine. It looks beautiful, I understand why the hipsters tried it.
I like how the conversation topics go 1) What it is about 2) What it's supposed to do 3) How is it supposed to do that 4) Why is it supposed to do that 5) Why is it not doing it And the people be like: 1) What? 2) What can it do? 3) What can it do for me? 4) What can I do for it? 5) What have I been doing for it as my job.
That's how you're supposed to teach in a way people can learn. Start at just below their understanding level and than raise it. If you start high and expect the student to catch up is how you lose them.
Im just highlighting the problems i see here 1) The timespan to produce the video, if its too short, then was all that needed to be explained already explained, if its too long, have they explained whats necessaryvto understand it rather than dragging the explanation. 2) The level of knowlege of each participant, do they know the terminology and have some understanding of what it is or what it is trying explain to us.
a nice detail: almost every one answered one or more questions with "i have no idea." it's amazing to see that no matter your level of experience, there will always be something you don't know.
I think "I have no idea" connotates a higher degree of unknowing than "I don't know". For example: Why is Joe? "I don't know" means that he is somewhere in the building, but I don't know exactly where in the building. But "I have no idea" means that he can be anywhere in the city or even out of state, an so on. Just sharing my opinion.
Mind blown, Old yet young, Complex yet simple(when she explains it anyway). She is the definition of what she is describing and what a beautiful little package it is as well. Wish we had more people like her teaching our young folk.

Anyone else surprised that the teen hadn't heard the word "quantum"? I feel like it's used in pop culture a lot more, with sci-fi movies or shows and videogames having mentions of quantum computing a lot more.
ikr it all starts really basic with paper and letters and numbers and pennies😂 but the next thing we know...new terms pop up wothout explanation and we have to bridge the gap😭
@@kylacapisinio2395 I mean I'm still a teenager and I can follow their conversation, but that's probably because I wanna study quantum physics when I'm an adult and it's always been an interest of mine, so I know more than the average person. Though some of it is really hard to understand without having that level of education 😂😂🤧🤧
Entering the undergraduate students, I actually have to repeat a few times to understand her. Entering the phd, I repeated a few times and didn't reallt get what they're saying. 😂
I'm neither a native english speaker nor do I have any academical degree but I still manage to understand their conservation just advanced knowledge of computers and a bit of school physics...
I don't think many people remember that old IBM 700 series needed a cool room to operate. This is a breakthrough. I've been fascinated by quantum physics for a long time but even being an engeneer, computer scientist and applied mathematician some things elude me. Time to hit college again! I'm only 55 and want to be part of this revolution!!!
I'm a journalism student with not many ties to science, but this makes me want to switch careers completely. Hats of to you if you truly go back to studying!
Most "engeneers" actually know how to spell their degree correctly. Given I'm assuming it's just an error due to tiredness or another factor, but I still found it hilarious. No offense.
No, she is explaining something so simple in the sense of computing and quantum physics, yet acting as if she is the slickest person in the world. Quantum computing will not be something as revolutionary as she attempts to lead on. It will be insanely expensive and none of you watching this video will ever to buy anything that comes close to what a quantum computer is. The only people using it will be very rich private companies and the government.
These videos remind me of that meme where it starts out as a normal brain in the first panel, then in the last panel it's like some dude transcending into another dimension
The most interesting things in this video is that in the expert level the host becomes student and the expert becomes the knowledge provider. love the video thanks wired.
It's called being late 30's to early 40's and not having vanity that makes you color your hair. People use to look like that all the time, before T.V. told them it's not o.k. to look old and wise.
This was beautiful. Seeing her capable of breaking down this high level of complexity to a child, and then going all the way to a level beyond, or at least equal to, her own. Something interesting worth noting is this sense of solemnity that enhanced every time the level of complexity increased.
@@hraith I don't think that was the task. For level 1 maybe even level 2 the concept of normal computers is hard to impossible to understand. But what she definitely accomplished, at least on level 2, she woke some sort of interest, hopefully...
@@lemonade.valley aye, I think she's about early 30s. She recently got married. I suspect it's her great learning that aged her body without touching her eyes.
So interesting how her tone and delivery changes once she talks with the expert, the seats changed and she just wanted to hear him talk and ask questions. Likewise you can tell how much the profesor likes talking about his subjects with people that understand it.
Christobanistan, eventually, yeah! Also, it's crazy that I was able to follow along better with the Expert conversation than the Grad student one. That was the one where I really lost in the weeds 😅
Naomi PR you sure? Because even though I understand the coin anology, I absolutely don't know how to apply this in my reality. lol. I just saw Matt Elbé's comment. This emphasizes what I mean. If you look at a spinning coin, you're trying to apply your knowledge of physics and will ask questions like how fast is it spinning? At what rate is it switching states? How quick must my device be to take a measurement to see in which state it is?
Agreed. Is it just that with that 3rd state it's now working in Base 3 instead of Base 2? Or does the entanglement ability do something vastly more powerful than that, where multiple solutions can resolve or be 'viewed' at once?
After watching several videos about Q.C. and reading a bit (not much, though) I still have no idea what a C.Q. is or what it can do. The answers are always "well, we don't know yet".
If you're a computer scientist (or perhaps even if not), this is a solid primer that says more than "It's mystical and magical": ua-cam.com/video/F_Riqjdh2oM/v-deo.html
I have the same feeling. I feel that in this video they didn't explain Q.C. clear enough at the teenager level, which is probably most of the audiences are gonna understand(including me). Then at the undergraduate student level they talked about all the properties, without of telling how QC stores or compute.
"If you can explain what you know to a kid , you're a Genius". I got massive respect for her to educate ME also as it's hard for me to understand being 21 ( least educated person ). So it's complicated understanding About Quantum Computing through a graduate or professional way,

She would be so happy to know how much progress has been made in 3 years.
What I find absolutely brilliant about Dr Talia, is her communication skills. She asks some questions and is able fine tune her communication level to the level that is required to be understood. Maybe it's just the people in my own life but I tend to find the more advanced a person is in their field, the lower their level of build rapport or communicate their ideas (it's so bizzare).
completely agree
It's because they don't fully understand what they know. People that really understand what they know are capable of communicating it to other people the
simplest way.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" - Albert Einstein
The real reason is lack of practice. People's brains adapt to the tasks they're used for. Many advanced-level people spend most of their time doing research and not so much on teaching, so they naturally become better at the former at the expense of the latter.
This is what happened to me.

To be truly intelligent and knowledgeable, you need to be able to convey that intelligence to a child.

There's certainly an observation to be made about pedagogy here.
Great Observations!
How perfectly she first asks them something they know, and then tries to connect Quantum computing with them so that the can understand better
That's how you're supposed to teach in a way people can learn. Start at just below their understanding level and than raise it. If you start high and expect the student to catch up is how you lose them.
It's like "I'll destroy ur understanding about stuff😈" , jk 😂
Connecting with students is great way of science communication!

1) The timespan to produce the video, if its too short, then was all that needed to be explained already explained, if its too long, have they explained whats necessaryvto understand it rather than dragging the explanation.
2) The level of knowlege of each participant, do they know the terminology and have some understanding of what it is or what it is trying explain to us.

a nice detail: almost every one answered one or more questions with "i have no idea." it's amazing to see that no matter your level of experience, there will always be something you don't know.
I think "I have no idea" connotates a higher degree of unknowing than "I don't know". For example: Why is Joe? "I don't know" means that he is somewhere in the building, but I don't know exactly where in the building. But "I have no idea" means that he can be anywhere in the city or even out of state, an so on. Just sharing my opinion.

It's called being late 30's to early 40's and not having vanity that makes you color your hair. People use to look like that all the time, before T.V. told them it's not o.k. to look old and wise.

Naomi PR you sure? Because even though I understand the coin anology, I absolutely don't know how to apply this in my reality. lol.
I just saw Matt Elbé's comment. This emphasizes what I mean. If you look at a spinning coin, you're trying to apply your knowledge of physics and will ask questions like how fast is it spinning? At what rate is it switching states? How quick must my device be to take a measurement to see in which state it is?
Agreed. Is it just that with that 3rd state it's now working in Base 3 instead of Base 2? Or does the entanglement ability do something vastly more powerful than that, where multiple solutions can resolve or be 'viewed' at once?
