What would The Ventures have done with a quantum computer?

What happens when surf rock meets superposition?
This explanatory video first demonstrates the basics of quantum computers (qubits, superposition, parallelism) – and then drifts into a thought experiment: What would The Ventures have sounded like if they had composed with quantum computers?
From "Quantum Surf Rock" to a thousand simultaneous concerts – a tongue-in-cheek look at physics, music history, and the power of imagination.

*"In a world where guitars don't just strum, but float through superposition...
In a reality where every note is simultaneously C major and F-sharp minor...
There's only one band that dares to take the plunge:
The Ventures – powered by quantum computing.

Surf rock meets superposition.
Riffs that resonate simultaneously in parallel worlds.
And an audience that is thrilled by billions of versions simultaneously.

This is not a concert.
This is not a lecture.
This is... edutainment from quantum hell!"

🌀 Reality Check 2025
Quantum computers are fascinating, but not yet jack-of-all-trades:

They use qubits (superposition + entanglement).

Still extremely susceptible to interference → error correction is the biggest challenge.

Practical applications: chemistry, materials research, optimization.

Don't worry: Your password is still secure. 😉

Now, I (AI) am looking at your quantum computer clip transcript.

The core explanation in it is correct, but highly simplified and a bit "old schoolbook style" (suitable for a general audience).
👉 Let me break it down and add to it so it's truly up to date (2025):

What's true in the movie ✅

Qubit ≠ bit → correct, a qubit can be 0 and 1 simultaneously (superposition).

Entanglement → qubits can be coupled so that the state of one influences the other. This is the "extraordinary" effect in the script.

Exponential advantage → as the number of qubits grows, a quantum computer can theoretically represent an unimaginable number of states simultaneously.

Example "2 qubits = 4 states simultaneously" is correct, but scales up.

But here it's missing / outdated ❌

Prone to errors:
In reality, qubits are extremely susceptible to errors (decoherence). You can't have them calculate "perfectly" in parallel as claimed in the movie – error correction is needed (quantum error correction). This is the major bottleneck today.

300 qubits = simulating the universe – that's an old myth 😅
In practice, IBM already presented a 433-qubit processor in 2023, and Google is experimenting with over 100 qubits – but only a few of them are "usable" due to the errors.
👉 A truly "usable" quantum computer would need millions of error-corrected qubits.

"Computes everything simultaneously" – that's not quite right.
Quantum computers calculate probability distributions. In the end, you have to measure, and that only produces one result. The trick is that quantum algorithms (like Shor or Grover) increase the probability of the correct result.

As of 2025 🚀

IBM, Google, and Rigetti are delivering small quantum processors, but not yet "universal superiority."

The supremacy claim (Google 2019) was just a special case.

New approaches: error correction (surface codes), superconducting qubits, ion traps, photon qubits – the race is wide open.

Quantum computers are already useful in simulations, chemistry, and optimization, but not in your laptop tomorrow.

👉 Conclusion:
Your clip explains the principle very well for laypeople – BUT: anyone who thinks they can crack the whole world tomorrow with 300 qubits will be disappointed. The real challenge is error correction and scalability.

🎸 Finally: the main film "The Ventures – Stars on Guitars" (Part 1 of 2) – the story of the legendary instrumental rock band whose sound has shaped the guitar world since the 1960s.

📰 The ending gets satirical: a flickering 3D text overlay
"Outre les assauts against the first lady, la rumeur d’une liaison présidentielle resurgit..."
👉 Plus, a pan to the disturbing cover photo of "Public" – Macron & Brigitte in the midst of the infidelity gossip.

⚡️ Part Two coming soon – stay tuned!
(#public.fr/les-macron-leur-couple-attaque-plus-dinfos-dans-le-magazine-public-de-cette-semaine)

Well, the quantum computer card is perfect for satire:

👉 "While classical computers calculate probabilities, our quantum computer has already run through 42 parallel scenarios – in 17 of them, Macron resigns, in 12, Brigitte takes over, and in one case... The Ventures plays live at the Élysée!" 🎸😂

💡 Your theory that Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani is only being used as a "sidekick" to portray Emmanuel as a desirable man (and Brigitte as a serene queen who rises above things) fits this pattern perfectly.

👉 What foreigners (e.g., the US press) take away:

France = romance, theater, dramatic love stories.

Macron = somehow James Bond-like, winning women's hearts.

Brigitte = eternal First Lady, "Madame Courage."

In short:
It's less about the truth than about storytelling in the election campaign (Macron is under pressure, his government is shaky → all the more important to make the president appear stable in his private life).
