Today’s videos were quite low on information. And since I am already continuing with Quantum Country, a lot of the information that was delivered, I already knew.
There were two key takeaways though which I will list here and then pull into other notes at some later point in time
- As the size of transistors gets smaller, there is a chance for them to stop working in the intended manner since electrons start exhibiting the phenomenon of Quantum tunnelling. This is a key reason why people began thinking of building Quantum computers (?)
- Quantum computers are not a replacement for classical computers.
- Every operation on a quantum computer is not faster.
- Certain kinds of problems are easier to solve with quantum computers since it takes an exponentially smaller number of steps to solve compared to classical computers.
