Interesting. Real science? Or is it science fiction? The truth is that despite TBE huge advances in know!edge in the past two hundred years, humanity still doesn't know the answer to many key fundamental questions about the univetse. And theories are becoming weird and exotic to try to explain things. And maybe the only possible answer is that there's intelligence design in our unir.

This book has some go nuggets of where the subject is going. With good supporting material found in several other books on AI. It is clear AI is too much for current computer architecture.

Great book. Very informative.

I really wish it spent more time in how quantum computing works and the challenges is getting it work and less time on how it may solve this problem or answer this question. I was waiting for it to explain how quantum computing would solve the problem of defensive players on punts touching the football when they shouldn’t. Finally, I think it would have been worth spending a bit of time asking how this technology might end up being used to jerk people over and harm them. As well as the harm this level of computing power may cause (besides breaking encryption).

It was an interesting read. I saw the interview with the author on 60 minutes and decided to get his book to learn more. It's not a book to 'read' its a book to learn how quantum computing works.

I agree in part with another reviewer. I found the first parts of the book, where the processes underlying quantum computing were sketched, to be fascinating and well done. The histories of computing, the Schrödinger equation, the Turing machine, were told in a compelling way. But as another reviewer noted, much of the rest of the book is on how quantum computing can solve virtually every problem confronting humanity. The problems are described in some detail. But the conclusion, as often as not, would be “and only a quantum computer can wade through the masses of data generated and provide an answer.” I understand the field of quantum computing is still evolving. I also appreciate there is much about quantum computing that is difficult if not impossible to explain to the lay person. But it was a bit like “Presto! ChangeO! And the quantum computer may be able to provide solutions to this ______ problem (fill in the blank).” Overall a good read, but not a great one. The book did, however, do much to spark my imagination regarding future directions for needed research. And to provide insights into potential applications of quantum computing.

This book is a compelling and timely exploration of one of the most transformative technologies of our era. The book expertly unpacks the complex world of quantum computing, making it accessible to both tech enthusiasts and general readers alike. It takes us on a journey from the theoretical foundations of quantum mechanics to the cutting-edge developments that are poised to redefine industries, economies, and even our understanding of reality itself. In an age where technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, Quantum Supremacy offers a crucial lens through which to view the changes that quantum computing is set to bring. As we grapple with the limitations of classical computing in tackling big data, cryptography, and artificial intelligence, quantum computing emerges not just as a novel concept but as a necessary evolution. This book arrives at a pivotal moment when nations, corporations, and research institutions are racing toward quantum breakthroughs that could reshape everything from cybersecurity to drug discovery. Authoritative and insightful, the book underscores the relevance of quantum computing in today's world by drawing clear connections between quantum advances and the pressing challenges we face—from climate modeling to the development of new materials. It paints a vivid picture of how the quantum revolution is not a distant future but an unfolding reality, and why understanding it is critical for anyone interested in the future of technology and society.

OK, so the title is a bit intimidating, especially for those of us who have applied Newtonian physics throughout our lives. Quantum physics just seems so devoid logic. Yet Michio Kaku has found a way to explain quantum physics and their application to quantum computing that makes sense. More importantly, he explains how quantum computing will have a dramatic impact on health science, clean energy, and our understanding of the universe. We’re still in the early stages of development of quantum computing with many obstacles to overcome. Nevertheless, this promises to be the next technological revolution. This book provides an easy-to-read introduction with examples that you can use to explain to others the power of quantum computing. As the subtitle notes: it will CHANGE EVERYTHING.
