요약
"An exhilarating tour of humanity's next great technological achievement-quantum computing-which may eventually unravel 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"--Provided by publisher.

Author Introduction

미치오 카쿠(지은이)

뉴욕시립대학교 물리학과 교수. 이론물리학계의 세계적 석학이자 미래학자이다. 1947년 미국 캘리포니아에서 일본계 미국인으로 태어나 하버드대학교를 숨마쿰라우데(최우수등급)로 졸업하고, UC버클리에서 박사학위를 받았다. 끈 장이론string field theory의 공동창시자이다. 주요 저서로 《아인슈타인을 넘어서》 《초공간》 《비전》 《아인슈타인의 우주》 《평행우주》 《불가능은 없다》 《미래의 물리학》 《마음의 미래》 등이 있다. 〈퍼블리셔스 위클리〉는 그의 저작들을 두고 “날카로운 통찰과 정교한 논리로 푼 카쿠의 책은 대단히 과학적이지만, 조금도 지루할 틈을 주지 않는다”라고 평가했다. 집필하는 책마다 예리한 분석과 통찰, 대담한 추론을 통해 미래 과학의 세계를 명쾌하면서도 흥미진진하게 펼쳐냈다. 어려운 이론물리학의 세계를 탁월한 비유와 위트로 전달하는 저술가로서 과학 전문 TV와 라디오 프로그램에 출연하며 과학 대중화에 앞장서고 있다.
