00:23computing.
00:24In this video we'll dive into the most recent developments in the performance of qubits,
00:29the potential applications of quantum computing, and how these technologies are being implemented
00:33in various industries.
00:35If you're interested in staying at the forefront of technology and understanding how these
00:39advancements can benefit you, this video is for you.
00:42What is quantum computing?
00:45Quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, a branch of physics
00:49that studies subatomic particles.
00:52Unlike classical physics, which focuses on the behavior of macroscopic objects, quantum
00:57mechanics examines how the smallest particles in the universe interact and behave.
01:02BASIC PRINCIPLES
01:031.
01:05Superposition
01:06In the quantum world, a particle can exist in multiple states at once.
01:11This principle is called superposition.
01:13Imagine a coin spinning in the air.
01:16It's neither heads nor tails until you stop and observe it.
01:20Similarly, a quantum particle can be in several states simultaneously until it is measured.
01:262.
01:27Entanglement
01:28Two quantum particles can be so deeply connected that the state of one instantly affects the
01:32state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.
01:36This is known as quantum entanglement.
01:383.
01:40Quantum Tunneling
01:41Particles can pass through barriers that, according to classical physics, would be insurmountable.
01:47This phenomenon, known as quantum tunneling, has potential applications in areas such as
01:52cryptography and quantum computing.
01:55Performance of Qubits
01:56Quantum bits, or qubits, are the fundamental units of quantum computing.
02:01Unlike classical bits, which can be either zero or one, qubits can represent both zero
02:06and one simultaneously thanks to superposition.
02:10The performance of qubits is crucial for the development of quantum computers, and recent
02:15advances have significantly improved their reliability and coherence times.
02:201.
02:21Superconducting Qubits
02:22These qubits, used by companies like IBM and Google, operate at extremely low temperatures
02:28and have shown great potential in maintaining coherence for longer periods.
02:322.
02:33Trapped Ion Qubits
02:34This technology uses ions confined in electromagnetic fields.
02:39Trapped ion qubits have demonstrated high fidelity in operations and are used by companies
02:44like IonQ and Honeywell.
02:463.
02:47Topological Qubits
02:49Still in the experimental stage, topological qubits promise greater stability and error
02:54resistance, which could make quantum computers more practical and scalable.
02:59Practical Applications of Quantum Computing
03:011.
03:03Quantum Computing in the Pharmaceutical Industry
03:06Quantum computers can simulate molecular structures and interactions at a level of complexity
03:11that classical computers cannot achieve.
03:13This capability allows for faster and more accurate drug discovery and development.
03:192.
03:20Applications in Finance
03:22Quantum algorithms can optimize complex financial models, improving risk analysis and portfolio
03:28management.
03:29This can lead to more efficient and profitable investment strategies.
03:333.
03:34Advances in Logistics
03:36Quantum computing can optimize routing and supply chain management, reducing costs and
03:41improving efficiency.
03:43For example, DHL and Volkswagen have been exploring quantum algorithms to optimize their
03:48logistics operations.
03:504.
03:51Quantum Processors of the Latest Generation
03:54Companies like Google, IBM, and Regetti Computing are developing advanced quantum processors
03:59that push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of speed and performance.
04:03These processors are crucial for solving complex problems that are currently beyond the reach
04:08of classical computers.
04:105.
04:11Innovative Quantum Algorithms
04:13Algorithms like Shor's algorithm for factoring large numbers and Grover's algorithm for searching
04:18unsorted databases have the potential to revolutionize fields such as cryptography
04:22and data analysis.
04:24The Intersection of Quantum Technology and Artificial Intelligence
04:28Combining the power of quantum computing with artificial intelligence opens up truly astounding
04:33possibilities.

04:40and analyze data at unprecedented speed and scale.
04:441.
04:45Optimization
04:46AI can use quantum algorithms to solve complex optimization problems in seconds, something
04:52that would take classical computers years.
04:54This has applications in logistics, finance, and new materials design.
04:592.
05:00Modeling and Simulation
05:01AI can help model and predict the behavior of complex quantum systems, accelerating research

05:17sensitive data against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
05:22Challenges and the Future of Quantum Computing
05:24Despite the exciting advancements, there are still significant technical challenges to
05:29overcome in quantum computing.
05:32Issues such as quantum decoherence and error correction are areas of active research.
05:371.
05:38Quantum Decoherence
05:40This phenomenon occurs when a quantum system loses its quantum properties due to interaction
05:45with its environment.
05:47Researchers are developing techniques to extend coherence times and protect qubits from decoherence.
05:532.
05:54Error Correction
05:56Quantum computers are highly susceptible to errors due to their sensitive nature.
06:00Quantum error correction codes are being developed to detect and correct these errors, making
06:05quantum computations more reliable.
