À propos de ce titre
 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An exhilarating tour of humanity's next great technological achievement—quantum computing—which may supercharge artificial intelligence, solve some of humanity's 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

"[Kaku's] lucid prose and thought process make abundant sense of this technological turning point.” —The New York Times Book Review

The 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 Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s. 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 humanity’s future.

Avis de la critique

Praise for Michio Kaku's 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. . . . [Kaku's] 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, Kaku’s 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

I'll keep the review brief. It's interesting, well informing, bit annoying (every sentence starts or ends with "quantum computer") and overall definitely worth to read! (or in my case listen to).

I'm quite the fan of Dr Kaku.

Definitely enjoyed this book.

I loved this book. The information is very interesting and told with superb storytelling. The narrator even mimics how Michio Kaku speaks. I found every part of the book highly engaging and I learned a lot.

All around excellent!

It is an engaging exploration of quantum computing’s potential and challenges, offering a glimpse into the future of technology. Kaku’s clear explanations make it a recommended read for those interested in science and computing. I dislike the book's very optimistic view on AI and quantum computing may not address the complexities and potential risks involved.

This is a random compilation of pretty much every imaginable topic and problem humanity faces right now or in the near future. Roughly described and then every chapter just ends with "and therefore quantum computers" without actually going into detail HOW quantum computing might be able to solve the issue at hand, apart from "more computing power". Not really about quantum computing. Full of platitudes if you are at least a little bit familiar with natural sciences.
Disappointing in all honesty.

NOT what I was expecting from the titel

I was expecting an overview, some history and future developments of quantum computing and the inner workings of quantum computers. What I got instead was an extremely superficial book that is only connected distantly to quantum computing.

After some very superficial intro to quantum computing, the book reduces to a boring list of todays problems and the end of each chapter an argument along the lines "this problem is so difficult, quantum computers are needed and will (!) be able to solve this problem.

The list includes better batteries, climate change, nuclear fusion, space, etc. Each chapter sounded extremely hyped up what quantum computing could do there and were superficial as well. They sounded like Chatgpt texts. And just flatout nonsense was ushered like "climate change" might lead to nuclear war between India and Bangladesh.

None of these problems have any direct link to quantum computing. Even worse, the authors doesnt mention once that quantum computer will probably not be good at general computing and only be advantageous for specific problems. He also mixes up big data/AI and claims that quantum computers will solve AI.

Trashy book, Chatgpt Essays are better
