Quantum computing

I just came across this article

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.technologyreview.com/s/609094/quantum-inside-intel-manufactures-an-exotic-new-chip/amp/

the quantum chip that Linus reviewed had several hundred, if not thousands of quibits. How come they see intel getting 17 quibits as an achievemnt

What quantum chip that linus reviewd are you talking about ? can you link ?

Quantum computing is hard to understanding, its physics...

Like computers we know they talk with 1 and 0... a lot of true / false signals.. and they can do that 1 signal at a time but very very very fast..

In quantum physics, they function mostly the same except they can talk with 1 and 0 at the same time at different places !! 

I have a video to explain this cuz i suck at explain cuz this intense but i'll link it in a few minutes

 He probably meant this one, was pretty.................... cool

It's a bit more like...the state of the bit is undetermined until you put it through certain Quantum Logic Gates. You can build most of the same XOR's, XANDs, etc. but the neat thing with QuBits (Quantum Bits) is that you can tie the results of particular logical evaluations together in a long string of entangled QuBits and then read it once and get the probabilistic result. Oh also, Qubits take up a lot of memory so most Quantum Computers can hold something like 16 QuBits max....which is like 1 double-precision integer in terms of normal bits. 

It's partly how the Shor's algorithm for breaking RSA works, they can get the factors of the large number and then put that into a standard computer and can spit out the actual keys. There's some great walkthrough videos that deal with it. I'm trying to see if there are some applications for my research in speeding up some of the O(Nlog(N)) algorithms to like O(N) or better! But yeah nerding out has a time and place.

It appears as though either:

A.) Intel's computer is intended to be much more cost effective

B.) Intel's computer is intended to be much easier to use practically

C.) Um... Intel made a super computer so a news company made an article about it so that you would click on it and they would get money. I guess.

Dwave has 2000 while intel has 17

I guess we approach the era where Qbits will be a thing and more competition will come and you will see more companies making their approach and getting better and better..

Dat was an amazing video thanks for sharing
