Computers, as we know them, are already pretty impressive.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
We now carry what would have once been considered a supercomputer in our pockets. But as great as they may seem, there are problems that these traditional computers will simply never solve.
[CHICKEN CROWS]
Across artificial intelligence and genomics, as well as in finance and clean energy devices. Even if we turned every silicon atom on our entire planet into a giant supercomputer, we still could never solve these problems.
But a quantum computer could, because quantum computers operate on entirely different principles. Such a machine will use qubits as its fundamental building blocks. And although researchers around the world have already made machines with up to a dozen qubits, a useful quantum computer will require millions. There is currently only one technology capable of making components at such a scale. Silicon chip manufacturing.
I'm convinced that the only way we'll see a revolutionary million qubit quantum computer is if we harness the trillions of dollars that we've already invested in the silicon industry. We're using the same state-of-the-art silicon manufacturing tools that brought us the digital revolution to build a quantum computer to solve big problems that would otherwise remain forever unsolved.
