What If We Had Working Quantum Computers Today?
Get rid of your old computers, because the future of technology has arrived! It’s not artificial intelligence or virtual reality; it’s something called quantum computing! And it could completely revolutionize every aspect of our society, from healthcare to finance, and even national security. But how does it work?
When can we expect it? And what could happen if it gets into the wrong hands?

“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere.” — Carl Sagan
What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

Thanks for the analysis! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Artificial intelligence cannot reach self actualization without quantum computing

I think Artificial intelligence technology working with quantum computers can be very important to change our future so that with the help of AI technology our species can survive regularly in space.

So that means a quantum computer can solve the collatz conjecture, the simplest math no one can solve.

Need a computer which think, which feels emotions, a computer which produce apps like man . what is man ? Is a machine who produce apps( applications) ,that would be an attainment

It will be worth it if it is a piece of cake for this computer to game at 8k to higher resolutions

Are you tired of losing all your money do you want a computer that can crunch the numbers for you you think it's just hot pics or luck that every of 19 out of 19 stocks are going up over the last few months stop believing that it's locked the odds are in my favor it is best to invest in red tiger investment Incorporated already trans have come off the table already do you still want to play the casino out there are you tired of gambling to losing all your retirement savings you work for 20 years maybe you

Can't we code an AI and handover a quantum computer to it for calculating results for us and allow it modify the quantum world.
Unrealistic 😂

Love the video. Thanks. Now two things: We already know what's happening to our atmosphere and how to mitigate climate change. It's so obvious we don't need quantum computers for that. And number two: There are no good guys, at best there's bad guys and worst guys. National Security and the DOD don't need more secrecy, they're already coimitting war crimes around the world and spying on American citizens and citizens of many other countries. Can you imagine what they'd do with quantum computers? It's a horrifying thought. Aside from that, it's such an exciting idea and if it were to be used for good it's going to be amazing for medical science. Especially in countries where people have access to medical attention free at the point of service. Like Canada, England, France and countless others.

Quantum computer is so advanced….but the prototype looks prehistoric.

What if we created a simulation of where the world will be in 200 years if we stay on our current trajectory…….we could literally look into the future!! Also it will be imperative to avoid these computers getting into the hands of a tyrannical despot.

maybe quantum physics are a bug in the code

We will still need classical computer for quantum computer.
Quantum computer will use Classical computer as their part

Google has a quantum computer…but I'm not sure they are the good guys here.

So…what I got from this…is that quantum computers will help our governments hide things from the people, since no hacker could ever beat the security systems.
