In this video I give you an overview on the different technologies for quantum computing, their benefits and disadvantages, who is working on what, and how far along they are.

Correction to what I say at 7 mins 17 seconds: They have of course a net POSITIVE charge.

Correction to what I say at 9 mins 24 seconds: D-wave informed us that 5600 qubits is a bit too high. 5000+ would be the most accurate number.

Many thanks to Tanuj Kumar for help with this video.
