Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

OK, Katie, let us start with quantum physics itself.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Can you remind me what that is?

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

I love Consistently Weird.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

And I love the movie Ant-Man, whose plot was very dependent on this.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

You should.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

It's really good.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

What is an example of how subatomic particles behave in weird ways?

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Right.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

And in the world of quantum, it means superposition means that particles could be doing many things at once.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

What does this have to do with quantum computing?

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

How does that fit together?

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Yeah.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

How does that compare to classical computing paradigms?

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Right.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

This is why people say quantum computers can try out a lot of possibilities all at once.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Very cool.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Very cool.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Because it's just processing so many things in parallel.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

It's significantly more efficient at problem solving.

Short Wave
Is The Quantum Future Here?

Question, what do quantum computers actually look like?
