Science Documentary: DNA Hard Drives, Quantum Computing, Moore's Law

Order: Reorder
Duration: 70:34
Updated: 07 Jun 2015

Science Documentary: DNA Hard Drives, Quantum Computing, Moore's Law DNA is similar to a hard drive or storage device, in that contains the memory of each cell of every living, and has the instructions on how to make that cell. DNA is four molecules combined in any order to make a chain of one larger molecule. And if you can read that chain of four molecules, then you have a sequence of characters, like a digital code. Over the years the price of sequencing a human genome has dropped significantly, much to the delight of scientists. And since DNA is a sequence of four letters, and if we can manipulate DNA, we could insert a message and use DNA as the storage device. At this point in time, we are at the height of the information age. And computers have had an enormous impact on all of our lives. Any information is able to be represented as a collection of bits. And with Moore's law, which states that computing power doubles every 18 months, our ability to manipulate and store these bits has continued to grow and grow. Moore's law has been driven by scientists being able to make transistors and integrated circuits continuously smaller and smaller, but there eventually comes a point we reach in which these transistors and integrated circuits cannot be made any smaller than they already are, since some are already at the size of a single atom. This inevitably leads us into the quantum world. Quantum mechanics has rules which are, in many ways, hard for us to truly comprehend, yet are nevertheless tested. Quantum computing looks to make use of these strange rules of quantum physics, and process information in a totally different way. Quantum computing looks to replace the classical bits which are either a 0 or a 1, with quantum bits, or qubits, which can be both a 0 and a 1 at the same time. This ability to be two different things at the same time is referred to as a superposition. 200 qubits hold more bits of information than there are particles in the universe. A useful quantum computer will require thousands or even millions of physical qubits. Anything such as an atom can serve as a quantum bit for making a quantum computer, then you can use a superconducting circuit to build two artificial atoms. So at this point in time we have a few working quantum transistors, but scientists are working on developing the quantum integrated circuit. Quantum error correction is the biggest problem encountered in development of the quantum computer. Quantum computer science is a field that right now is in its very early stages, since scientists have yet been able to develop any quantum hardware. A quantum computer would be perfect for tackling quantum problems like simulating the properties of a new molecule or material or help us to create a catalyst that will remove CO2 from the atmosphere, or make pattern recognition in computers much more efficient, and also in code breaking, and privacy and security of personal information since quantum information can never be copied. A great deal of the energy we create has to go into maintaining computations and data storage but we can reduce our energy expenditure significantly by looking to nature. Nature is much more effective at information processing. For example, in the process of photo synthesis, there is a nanowire, who's quantum efficiency is almost 100%. DNA is also a great example of energy efficiency represented in nature, since DNA base pairing can be considered a computational process. Computers generate heat by performing computations because each computation is irreversible. Quantum mechanics can make those computations reversible, since a quantum computer can perform two functions at the same time.

The Universe in a Nutshell: The Physics of Everything Michio Kaku, Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at CUNY What if we could find one single equation that explains every force in the universe? Dr. Michio Kaku explores how physicists may shrink the science of the Big Bang into an equation as small as Einstein's "e=mc^2." Thanks to advances in string theory, physics may allow us to escape the heat death of the universe, explore the multiverse, and unlock the secrets of existence. While firing up our imaginations about the future, Kaku also presents a succinct history of physics and makes a compelling case for why physics is the key to pretty much everything.

Science Documentary: Nanotechnology,Quantum Computers, Cyborg Anthropology a future tech documentaryAll things we see are made up of atoms. The study of, and the ability to control, those atoms and molecules is through the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The scale of things on the nano scale are smaller than the width of a human hair.Nanotechnology has been used in various fields such as computer science and engineering, physics, chemistry and biology.Flexible electronics and wearable electronics are among the many growing fields that owe their existence to nanotechnology. Graphene is a nano material that is a conductive sheet of very thin, but very strong carbon. It is transparent, but is also very lightweight. Graphene is one of the most promising nano materials available to scientists today.The second portion of this video covers Quantum Computing. A quantum computer is an extremely fast computer. The processing power of a quantum computer is far greater than that of classical computers. Computers read information that are coded in bits, which are represented by 0's and 1's. A classical computer can process only one bit at a time, either a 0 or a 1. A Quantum computer, has quantum bits, or qbits, and a qbit can be a 0 and 1 at the same time. The next portion of the video covers cyborg anthropology and the evaporation of the interface. If you use a cell phone or manipulate a computer or tablet, you would be considered a low tech cyborg. A cyborg is an organism that has had certain outside components added to it in order for that organism to be able to fit in to its environment. The next step in the evolution of humans as cyborgs would be the evaporation of the interface. Soon it will be possible to do away with our need to interface with technology, because the technology will be able to sense our needs and react accordingly, without the need to push a button, or manipulate the device in any way.

Updated: 03 Sep 2013

John Preskill, the Richard Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology presents a public lecture: Quantum Computing & the Entanglement Frontier. The quantum laws governing atoms and other tiny objects seem to defy common sense, and information encoded in quantum systems has weird properties that baffle our feeble human minds. John Preskill explains why he loves quantum entanglement, the elusive feature making quantum information fundamentally different from information in the macroscopic world. By exploiting quantum entanglement, quantum computers should be able to solve otherwise intractable problems, with far-reaching applications to cryptology, materials science, and medicine. Preskill is less weird than a quantum computer, and easier to understand. Find out more about IQC!

Diamonds are a quantum computer’s best friend The next revolution in data processing is Quantum computing. This talk is an entertaining “tour de force” starting with a brief introduction to the fascinating yet strange theories of quantum physics, the concepts of using these in quantum computing and the latest results on qubits in devices made out of real diamonds. If you want to learn about the machines that decrypt your passwords in the coming years and how you can actually grow diamonds in your microwave oven (and who wouldn’t?) this talk is for you! Quantum computing uses quantum phenomena directly such as superposition and entanglement to perform data processing. However, applying these quantum concepts to macroscopic devices such as computers is an enormous challenge for information scientists and physicists alike. What does it make so hard? Well, scientists have to find a material in which they are able to store and manipulate quantum bits (qubits). Since quantum states are very fickle and thus hard to abide the most important task is to find materials in which qubits can be stored for a sufficient long time. Surprisingly they found these properties in diamond. More specific, scientists are investigating defect centers in diamond to be used as qubits. Although quantum computing in 2014 is still in its infancy first experiments have already been carried out that give hope that these computational concepts will become reality. This talk is an entertaining “tour de force” starting with a brief introduction to the fascinating yet strange theories of quantum physics, the concepts of using these in quantum computing and the latest results on qubits in devices made out of diamond. Moreover this presentation is given by a physicist who was working on diamond for various other applications for years - who suddenly realized that he has the material for the next IT revolution right in his lab.

Updated: 29 Dec 2014

Let's build a quantum computer! Understanding the architecture of a quantum processor I will explain why quantum computing is interesting, how it works and what you actually need to build a working quantum computer. I will use the superconducting two-qubit quantum processor I built during my PhD as an example to explain its basic building blocks. I will show how we used this processor to achieve so-called quantum speed-up for a search algorithm that we ran on it. Finally, I will give a short overview of the current state of superconducting quantum computing and Google's recently announced effort to build a working quantum computer in cooperation with one of the leading research groups in this field. Google recently announced that it will partner up with John Martinis -one of the leading researchers on superconducting quantum computing- to build a working quantum processor. This announcement has sparked a lot of renewed interest in a topic that was mainly of academic interest before. So, if Google thinks it's worth the hassle to build quantum computers then there surely must be something about them after all? With this talk, I want to provide a better understanding of why quantum computing is interesting and how we might actually build a working quantum computer one day. As an example, I will discuss the two-qubit chip that I built during my PhD thesis as a realization of a basic, functional two-qubit quantum processor. I will explain the building blocks of this processor and show how we can manipulate the qubits, read out their state with high fidelity and couple them to each other in order to realize two-qubit gate operations. I will then show how we used this processor to demonstrate the concept of "quantum speed-up" by implementing and running the so-called Grover quantum search algorithm on it. Finally, I will give a brief overview of the current state of quantum computing and explain the (likely) approach followed by Google and John Martinis to realize a working, large-scale quantum processor, as well as some problems they will have to overcome on their way. ────────── ➤Speaker: Andreas Dewes ➤EventID: 6261 ➤Event: 31th Chaos Communication Congress [31c3] of the Chaos Computer Club [CCC] ➤Location: Congress Centrum Hamburg (CCH); Am Dammtor; Marseiller Straße; 20355 Hamburg; Germany ➤Language: english ➤Begin: Mon, 12/29/2014 12:45:00 +01:00 ➤License: CC-by

Knots, World-Lines, and Quantum Computation | Steve Simon | TEDxOxford

Order: Reorder
Duration: 15:58
Updated: 04 Aug 2015

In this talk Professor Simon describes the connection between knots of string and certain elementary particles, and how this connection could enable quantum computers - a revolutionary type of computing device. Beginning with the notion of Einsteinian "world-lines" - the paths traced by particles as they move through space-time - he explains that experiments on elementary particles give information about the knots formed by the particles' paths. This information is not easily calculated on any conventional computing device, thus showing that the quantum particles themselves have some sort of "higher" computational ability. The realization that quantum particles have computational ability opens the door for using these particles, and these knots, for doing other computations that would be impossible on any computer currently in existence. Professor Steve Simon is a world renowned theoretical physicist who has worked at Harvard, MIT, and Oxford. He blends an exceptional knowledge for the field with an infectious enthusiasm that will excite, entertain, and educate. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
