The Future Of AI Computing: What Is Quantum Computing?

This video was uploaded to the YouTube channel Singularity Prosperity in April 2018.

This video is the ninth in a multi-part series discussing computing and the second discussing non-classical computing. In this video, we’ll be discussing what quantum computing is, how it works and the impact it will have on the field of computing.

[0:28-6:14] Starting off we'll discuss, what quantum computing is, more specifically - the basics of quantum mechanics and how quantum algorithms will run on quantum computers.

[6:14-9:42] Following that we'll look at, the impact quantum computing will bring over classical computers in terms of the P vs NP problem and optimization problems and how this is correlated with AI.

[9:42-14:00] To conclude we'll discuss, current quantum computing initiatives to reach quantum supremacy and ways you can access the power of quantum computers now!

The Singularity Prosperity is a YouTube channel for those who want to know more about the innovations being made across the world, understand the impact certain technologies will have on society, utilise technology as a tool to better their lives and work together towards building a post-scarcity society.

The world has been changing at an accelerating rate since the industrial revolution, and this rate of change is only bound to increase as various technologies begin to converge with their own respective exponential trends. These technologies include quantum computing, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
