You're familiar with Moore's Law.

I'd imagine most people are, which is that they stated that every two years processing power would double.

And eventually it got to the point where they said we can't get any smaller.

Any smaller electrons actually bounce out of the circuits, and then it fails.

So what did they do?

They started just creating more multiplying cores so that you had high efficiency processors, but then you just double them up and double them up and make them bigger.

The point is, you are not going to run a computer requiring definitive answers, yes and no, over time with a quantum computer.

Qubits don't do that.

They're not designed for standard computation like running programs.

It's a different – The way you can make it particularly rudimentary is –

Solving a maze the old-fashioned way is walking through it and bouncing on all the problems.

You're carrying a rope, you go in the maze, and you're trying to find your way to the end.

It takes a long time.

So then we say, let's create a specialized sorting algorithm that will find the fastest route.

So what do you do?

Instead of having one person going over and over again, which is a brute force, you say, we are going to have 700 people take every possible path all at the same time.

Eventually, one of those people comes out the other side holding the rope saying, I've got the path to freedom.

So that is like advanced high-end computing.

Quantum computing is when they get in helicopters and go above it, and they flood the whole—they just look down and they say, there it is, all at once, instead of having to go through it.

Oh, that's cool.
