Todo es posible en la era cuántica.
«Su prosa lúcida y su proceso de reflexión dan mucho sentido a este punto de inflexión tecnológico». -The New York Times
El prestigioso físico teórico Michio Kaku expone en Supremacía cuántica todas las promesas y los escollos que pueden surgir a partir del uso del ordenador cuántico, del que se espera que permita desvelar algunos de los mayores misterios de nuestro universo y resolver muchos de nuestros principales problemas.
Entre las posibilidades de esta ciencia sin precedentes estaría impulsar la reducción del coste de la energía solar, alimentar a todo el planeta gracias al desarrollo de nuevos fertilizantes, permitir a los médicos tratar enfermedades como el cáncer y el Parkinsona nivel atómico, reorientar la inteligencia artificial e incluso acercarse al mítico grial del nanobot. El autor del bestseller La ecuación de Dios detalla con su perspicacia, energía y optimismo característicos cómo podría ser este futuro cuántico y ofrece al lector un asiento en primera fila para asistir a la mayor revolución en la carrera por nuestro futuro.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An exhilarating tour of humanity's next great technological achievement—quantum computing—which may supercharge artificial intelligence, solve some of humanity's biggest problems, like global warming, world hunger, and incurable disease, and eventually illuminate the deepest mysteries of science, by the bestselling author of The God Equation. • “Expertly describes and rectifies common misconceptions about quantum computing." —Science
"[Kaku's] lucid prose and thought process make abundant sense of this technological turning point.” —The New York Times Book Review
The runaway success of the microchip may finally be reaching its end. As shrinking transistors approach the size of atoms, the phenomenal growth of computational power inevitably collapses. But this change heralds the birth of a revolutionary new type of computer, one that calculates on atoms themselves.
Quantum computers promise unprecedented gains in computing power, enabling advancements that could overturn every aspect of our daily lives. While the media has mainly focused on their startling potential to crack any known encryption method, the race is already on to exploit their incredible power to revolutionize industry. Automotive makers, medical researchers, and consulting firms are all betting on quantum computing to design more efficient vehicles, create life-saving new drugs, and streamline businesses. But this is only the beginning. Quantum computing could be used to decode the complex chemical processes needed to produce cheap fertilizers and unleash a second Green Revolution; create a super battery that will enable the Solar Age; or design nuclear fusion reactors to generate clean, safe, renewable energy. It may even unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of as-yet-incurable diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s. Already, quantum computers are being put to work to help solve the greatest mystery in science—the origin of the universe.
There is no single problem humanity faces that might not be addressed by quantum computers. With his signature clarity and enthusiasm, Dr. Michio Kaku, who has spent his entire professional life working on the quantum theory, tells the thrilling story of this exciting scientific frontier and the race to claim humanity’s future.

Michio Kaku, nacido en 1947 en California, Estados Unidos, de padres japoneses, es un eminente físico teórico, uno de los creadores de la teoría de campos de cuerdas. Apadrinado por Edward Teller, que le ofreció la beca de ingeniería Hertz, se formó en Harvard y en el Laboratorio Nacional Lawrence Berkeley de la Universidad de California, donde obtuvo el doctorado en física en 1972. Desde hace casi treinta años ocupa la Cátedra Henry Semat de Física Teórica en la Universidad de Nueva York y es uno de los divulgadores científicos más conocidos del mundo; presenta dos programas de radio y participa en espacios de televisión y documentales. Es autor además de decenas de artículos y de varios libros, algunos de ellos traducidos al castellano: Visiones (1998), Hiperespacio (2001), El universo de Einstein (2005), Universos paralelos (2008), Física de lo imposible (2010) y La física del futuro (2011).
