Hope he's right, but the words "might" and "may" do a WHOLE LOT of heavy lifting here. Would like something a bit more in-depth, this just scratches the surface. ( ) It would not be entirely fair to let a just-completed reading of Hertog's meaty _On the Origin of Time_ lead one to say that physicist Kaku's book consists of shallow froth. True, he does seem to have pitched it at the level of readers who know little or nothing about science, accordingly allowing too much imprecision to infect the section on computer science and quantum theory. (E.g., he sloppily equates the superposition and uncertainty principles.) But in the later sections, where his style is occasionally more reportorial, he usefully surveys possible application areas for future quantum computers. Examples include Alzheimer's disease, AI, antibiotics, batteries, black holes, cancer, cosmology, fusion power, global warming, human aging, immunotherapy, nitrogen fixing, origin of life, photosynthesis, proteins, stars, viruses, and weather. But how likely is it that the machines will really contribute to all these areas and many others? geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"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"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
