Book: Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything Author: Dr. Michio Kaku Published: 2023, Doubleday ISBN: 978-0385548366
The Chapter Where Kaku Goes Full Biology
After five chapters of quantum computing basics, hardware races, and qubit architectures, Kaku shifts gears completely. Chapter 6 is about the origin of life. It actually makes sense in context though, because the argument he builds is that understanding how life started is fundamentally a quantum problem. Quantum computers might be the only tools powerful enough to crack it.
