What makes quantum computing different from today's computers? It's not speed. It's a completely different way of processing information.
In this clip from An Hour of Innovation, Dr. Shohini Ghose explains why quantum computing starts by replacing the most fundamental building block of computing: the binary bit. Instead of using simple zeros and ones, quantum computers use qubits that exist in superpositions, creating an entirely new way to process information.
Using the simple analogy of a "knob rather than a switch," Shohini makes one of the world's most complex technologies surprisingly accessible. She also explains why quantum computing requires completely new hardware, software, and ways of thinking, not just faster processors.
Whether you're a software engineer, AI practitioner, product manager, startup founder, researcher, or simply curious about future technology, this conversation provides a practical introduction to one of the biggest shifts in modern computing.
✨ You'll learn:
• What quantum computing really is
• The difference between bits and qubits
• How superposition changes computation
• Why quantum computers are not just faster computers
• Why quantum hardware and software must be redesigned
• How quantum technology could transform AI, cybersecurity, and scientific research
