The comments are very interesting and cover some interesting areas in regards to this topic:
Commenter HB says:
Decoding RSA requires 4000 Quibits, which would require 2^4000 pieces of information. How would we make this possible? Is it worth pursuing this technology if handling that much information is one of the barriers to unlocking the potential of this technology?
Commenter shomolya has an interesting answer not sure if he’s rigt:
The entire observable universe contains only about 2^400 bits of information, so that’s not going to work. (I don’t know where he got the 4000 from btw.) The other thing with QM computers is that while the assumption is that behind the scenes they process an enormous amount of information, the I/O of an N-qbit QM computer is still only N classical bits because in order to read the output you must collapse the wavefunction. You can never access the full quantum state. So while theoretically all that information is in there, you cannot get to it even in principle.
We hope you enjoy the video and are inspired to follow the future of quantum computing.
