Book: Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything Author: Dr. Michio Kaku Published: 2023, Doubleday ISBN: 978-0385548366
Chapter 5: The Race Is On
This chapter is where the book shifts from theory to real-world stakes. Kaku covers three things: Shor’s algorithm and why it scared every government on the planet, what we can do about it, and the corporate race to build the most powerful quantum computer. For an engineer, this is the chapter where quantum computing stops being a physics curiosity and starts being a security and business problem.
