I suggest you read up on the function of quantum computing.
I've just been talking to Andrew Minksk about AI and about the way quantum functions.
Quantum computing does not function the same way traditional computing works, and they do two different things.
Quantum computing is not going to run programs.
It basically can just solve algorithms.
It's like the memory.
Well, the function of a qubit is existing in a yes and no state at the same time.
So it will unlock a door, but it's not going to run a video game for you.
It doesn't work that way.
So when you say AI quantum, like you're just mixing words together that don't go together.
Well, I mean, an AI that works not off of binary that works off of quantum.
Quantum doesn't compute the way you're describing it.
Basic computing is a series of yes and no gates, zeros and ones, that electrons flow through if one gate is open and the other is not.
It's ultimate advanced sorting algorithms.
So the easiest way to understand rudimentary computing is this really great video you watch.
They show it to little kids, like in kindergarten, when they explain how computers work.
You have a series of postcards, and there's like 10 holes punched in it, and each hole has a gap.
And so what you do is so like the gap is in a different spot for each hole.
You can stick a pen through it and lift up and it removes only one of the cards and you keep doing it and you're sorting until you get all of the cards through the particular slot or whatever.
And that's how they explain basic mechanical computing.
