Quantum Computers Explained – Limits of Human Technology
Where are the limits of human technology? And can we somehow avoid them? This is where quantum computers become very interesting. Check out THE NOVA PROJECT to learn more about dark energy:...

Quantum Computers Explained – Limits of Human TechnologyFor most of our history, human technology consisted of our brains, fire, and sharp sticks.While fire and sharp sticks became power plants and nuclear weapons,the biggest upgrade has happened to our brains.Since the 1960's, the power of our brain machines has kept growing exponentially,allowing computers to get smaller and more powerful at the same time.But this process is about to meet its physical limits.Computer parts are approaching the size of an atom.To understand why this is a problem, we have to clear up some basics.In a Nutshell - By KurzgesagtA computer is made up of very simple componentsdoing very simple things.Representing data, the means of processing it, and control mechanisms.Computer chips...
