Building large-scale quantum computers
September 3, 2010
Dr. Suzanne Gildert will speak on “Building large-scale quantum computers: Fundamentals, technology and applications” at Teleplace, September 4, 10 a.m. PST.
“The talk will explain why quantum computers are useful, and also dispel some of the myths about what they can and cannot do,” she says. “It will address some of the practical ways in which we can build quantum computers and give realistic timescales for how far away commercially useful systems might be.”
If you don’t have have a Teleplace accounts with teleXLR8, there are a limited number of seats available — contact Guilio Prisco.
Gildert is a postdoctoral experimental physicist working at D-Wave Systems in the field of quantum devices, specifically, superconducting flux qubits and Josephson junctions. Gildert’s blog: PHYSICS AND CAKE.

There are 4 versions of the video, with some differences explained in the post.

Nice that she atempted to explane Q-bit operations and functions for real chip manufacturing. She realy needed a 3D set of model’s to explane it better, and help others visualize it. Also she said large scal was imposable, when it realy is just like the video card paradigm for scaling. Also she fudges the linking of quantum bit’s to clasical silicon computing bit’s, but I get she was also trying to get a point across in a short time frame. Mass gateway on chips and huge pipelines is part of the near future. From 128 Q-bits to 1024 Q-bit’s and so on up the scale.
