Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything by

Description: Quantum Supremacy by Michio Kaku "The best-selling author of The God Equation turns his attention to humanitys next great technological advancement--quantum computing, which could change every aspect of our daily lives by solving some of our greatest challenges, from climate change to world hunger to incurable diseases"-- FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An exhilarating tour of humanitys next great technological achievement—quantum computing—which may supercharge artificial intelligence, solve some of humanitys biggest problems, like global warming, world hunger, and incurable disease, and eventually illuminate the deepest mysteries of science, by the bestselling author of The God Equation. • "Expertly describes and rectifies common misconceptions about quantum computing." —Science"[Kakus] lucid prose and thought process make abundant sense of this technological turning point." —The New York Times Book ReviewThe runaway success of the microchip may finally be reaching its end. As shrinking transistors approach the size of atoms, the phenomenal growth of computational power inevitably collapses. But this change heralds the birth of a revolutionary new type of computer, one that calculates on atoms themselves.Quantum computers promise unprecedented gains in computing power, enabling advancements that could overturn every aspect of our daily lives. While the media has mainly focused on their startling potential to crack any known encryption method, the race is already on to exploit their incredible power to revolutionize industry. Automotive makers, medical researchers, and consulting firms are all betting on quantum computing to design more efficient vehicles, create life-saving new drugs, and streamline businesses. But this is only the beginning. Quantum computing could be used to decode the complex chemical processes needed to produce cheap fertilizers and unleash a second Green Revolution; create a super battery that will enable the Solar Age; or design nuclear fusion reactors to generate clean, safe, renewable energy. It may even unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of as-yet-incurable diseases like Alzheimers, ALS, and Parkinsons. Already, quantum computers are being put to work to help solve the greatest mystery in science—the origin of the universe.There is no single problem humanity faces that might not be addressed by quantum computers. With his signature clarity and enthusiasm, Dr. Michio Kaku, who has spent his entire professional life working on the quantum theory, tells the thrilling story of this exciting scientific frontier and the race to claim humanitys future. Author Biography MICHIO KAKU is a professor of physics at the City University of New York, cofounder of string field theory, and the author of several widely acclaimed science books, including Hyperspace, Beyond Einstein, Physics of the Impossible, and Physics of the Future.

Review Praise for Michio Kakus Quantum Supremacy"Kaku spends much of [Quantum Supremacy] recounting the history of computing, bringing listeners back to the Turing machine and the invention of transistors as crucial foundations. That mind-blowing future is the focus. . . . [Kakus] lucid prose and thought process make abundant sense of this technological turning point." —The New York Times Book Review"Expertly describes and rectifies common misconceptions about quantum computing—a technology regarded by experts as one that is likely to have profound societal implications. . . . Kaku deftly navigates the relevant scientific landscape. . . . Lucid. . . . Kaku excels at developing understandable metaphors for the complexities of quantum mechanics and computing. . . . Well written and accessible, offering readers a comprehensive overview of quantum computing, its underlying principles, and its potential." —Science "A renowned physicist explains the mind-blowing potential of quantum computing. Translating complicated scientific concepts into language that lay readers can understand is an art. Kaku, a professor of physics at the City University of New York, is one of the best practitioners. . . . Kaku examines how quantum computing could profoundly affect biotechnology, medicine, energy, food production, and environmental modelling—virtually every aspect of human activity. . . . The author pauses occasionally to provide summaries, which is important given the inherent complexity of the subject. As always, Kakus enthusiasm is contagious, and this latest book is an important guide to a crucial part of the tech future. An informative and highly entertaining read about the computing revolution already underway." —Kirkus Reviews"Illuminating … revealing a breathtaking, expansive look into the promise, power, and possibility of quantum computing. . . . Kaku will spark the imagination of [readers] interested in the nexus of computers and quantum mechanics." —Booklist Details ISBN0593744233 Author Michio Kaku Short Title Quantum Supremacy Publisher Diversified Publishing Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 0593744233 ISBN-13 9780593744239 Format Paperback Imprint Random House Large Print Subtitle How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything Country of Publication United States Pages 496 Publication Date 2023-05-23 AU Release Date 2023-05-23 NZ Release Date 2023-05-23 US Release Date 2023-05-23 UK Release Date 2023-05-23 Edition Description Large type / large print edition DEWEY 006.3843 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
