Quantum Supremacy
How Quantum Computers will Unlock the Mysteries of Science and Address Humanity’s Biggest Challenges
One of the best known and loved Physicists is back with a new book!
This time it’s time for Quantum computing and quantum technology. This book is a lucid and exciting review of how we are moving towards a quantum supremacy, exploring the possible applications of this new disruptive technology.
The book provides quite a good review of various technologies, such as CRISPR, The Environment, Materials & Chemistry and how Quantum could enhance each of these fields.
Kaku touches on other use cases, such as optimization, as utilized by automotive companies such as Ford and GM, who have demonstrated using a quantum optimization process for routing vehicles. Much of these have been demonstrated by hardware from D-wave and their Quantum Annealers.
