Synopsis "Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything (Random House Large Print) "

An exhilarating tour of humanity's next great technological achievement--quantum computing--which may eventually illuminate the deepest mysteries of science and solve some of humanity's biggest problems, like global warming, world hunger, and incurable disease, by the bestselling author of The God Equation. The runaway success of the microchip processor may be reaching its end. Running up against the physical constraints of smaller and smaller sizes, traditional silicon chips are not likely to prove useful in solving humanity's greatest challenges, from climate change, to global starvation, to incurable diseases. But the quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, already 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. Automotive companies, medical researchers, and consulting firms are betting on quantum computing, hoping to exploit its power to design more efficient vehicles, create life-saving new drugs, and streamline industries to revolutionize the economy. 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. And 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 is not a single problem humanity faces that couldn't be addressed by quantum computing. Told with Kaku's signature clarity and enthusiasm, Quantum Supremacy is the story of this exciting frontier and the race to claim humanity's future.

Michio Kaku es un físico teórico, futurista y divulgador científico estadounidense, conocido por su trabajo en la teoría de cuerdas y por su capacidad para explicar conceptos complejos de la física al público general. Nació el 24 de enero de 1947 en San José, California, en una familia de origen japonés. Estudió en la Harvard University, donde se graduó en Física, y obtuvo su doctorado en la University of California, Berkeley.

Es profesor de física teórica en el City College of New York, donde ha desarrollado investigaciones en el marco de la teoría de campos y la teoría de cuerdas, una de las principales candidatas para unificar la física cuántica con la relatividad general.

Además de su labor académica, Kaku es uno de los divulgadores científicos más reconocidos del mundo. Ha escrito numerosos libros de éxito como Physics of the Impossible, The Future of the Mind y The Future of Humanity, donde explora cómo la ciencia podría transformar la vida humana en el futuro.

También participa frecuentemente en programas de televisión, documentales y conferencias, donde analiza temas como la inteligencia artificial, los viajes espaciales y el futuro de la tecnología. Gracias a su estilo claro y visionario, Michio Kaku se ha convertido en una de las figuras más influyentes en la divulgación de la física moderna.
