0:00There's a common phrase that's used, quantum computing tries every solution in parallel and it finds the right answer. And I mean like kind of, but like honestly not really. Because if that were actually true, then every single problem ever could just be done on a quantum computer in parallel. >> This is a big argument when people talk about like encryption >> and encryption is maybe the only thing >> where it's true >> where it's actually true. Everything else though, uh, maybe not. What ends up happening is there's only very specific types of questions where you can exploit
From How Quantum Computing Actually Works (Part 1)
Part I of our quantum computing deep dive traces the field from Bell and Feynman to Deutsch and Shor—and explains what quantum computers actually do differently from classical machines.
