Book: Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything Author: Michio Kaku Published: 2023, Doubleday ISBN: 978-0385548366

So here we are. Twenty posts later, we made it through the entire book. Time to step back and look at the whole picture.

What This Series Covered

Over the past posts, we walked through all four parts of Kaku’s book plus the epilogue.

Part I covered the rise of quantum computers. Started with the end of Moore’s Law and the silicon age, went through computing history from Babbage to Turing, got a primer on quantum mechanics basics, and followed the story from Feynman’s original insight through to the corporate race between Google, IBM, and China.

The Part Where Physics Meets Philosophy

After seventeen chapters of quantum hardware, algorithms, applications in medicine, energy, AI, and a full imaginary day in 2050, Kaku ends the book with something completely different. The epilogue is called “Quantum Puzzles” and it’s pure philosophy. Four big questions that even physicists can’t answer definitively. Honestly, this is one of the more interesting parts of the book because Kaku stops selling you on quantum computing and starts asking what it all means.
