Quantum Computing

From Bit to Qbit for Everyone - Quantum Field Theory and Possible Applications

De: Gold Game

Narrado por: Derik Hendrickson

What are quantum computers? Why were they made? Will they soon become common objects?

These are important questions, with complex answers that we will try to reveal with simple words and concepts.

What can a quantum computer do?

If we have a sequence of 30 zeroes and ones, it has about one billion of possible values. However, a classical computer can only be in one of these one billion states at the same time. A quantum computer can be in a quantum combination of all of those states, called superposition.

Quantum field theory

"If you really understood quantum field theory in a proper mathematical way, this would give us answers to many open physics problems, perhaps even including the quantization of gravity.” Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields.

Basic knowledge interesting topic

Terrible editing and some pronunciation issues. Overall good for a beginner level knowledge although there are some very dry parts

Great content, a few mispronunciations

I liked the content. It’s a high-level view of quantum computing and fairly exhaustive at that level. The narrator is likely not a quantum computing scientist given the mispronunciation of vocabulary fundamental to quantum computing.

Too many mistakes in the narration

The narrator needed some prep on pronouncing many of the terms, including “qubit” and “coherence” which are basic as well as fundamental to this book. There are also places where they are clearing their throat or trying various takes on certain words. The editor should have helped this narrator by editing those out. Sigh.

Skip

Either they forgot to edit the audio, or they uploaded the unedited version. It is also somewhat redundant or maybe those parts should have been edited out.

Skip it

The content is easily found through Google as it's to superficial, there's too much filler with the bio section as well.

Besides, there's no edition at all, it's awful to listen the narrator coughing and repeating the same words and phrases over and over; it's not his fault, but this audiobook is pretty bad.
