Quantum Supremacy

The quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, promises to be every bit as revolutionary as the transistor and microchip once were.  Its unprecedented gains in computing power herald advancements that could change every aspect of our daily lives. Medical researchers, consulting firms, and automotive companies are betting on quantum computing, hoping to exploit its power to create life-saving new drugs, streamline industries to revolutionize the economy, and design more efficient vehicles.  But this is only the beginning.  Quantum computers could allow us to finally create nuclear fusion reactors that create clean, renewable energy without radioactive waste or threats of meltdown.  They could help us crack the biological processes that generate natural, cheap fertilizer and enable us to feed the world's growing populations.  They could unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of previously incurable diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, and Parkinson's, helping us to live longer, healthier lives. There isn't a single problem humanity faces that couldn't be addressed by quantum computing.  Told with Michio Kaku's signature clarity and enthusiasm, Quantum Supremacy is the story of this exciting frontier and the race to claim humanity's future.
