There is not a single problem humanity faces that couldn’t be addressed by quantum computing.

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. They could help us crack the biological processes that generate natural, cheap fertilizer and enable us to feed the world’s growing populations. Quantum computers could allow us to finally create nuclear fusion reactors that create clean, renewable energy without radioactive waste or threats of meltdown. Its unprecedented gains in computing power herald advancements that could change every aspect of our daily lives.Īutomotive 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 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. 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.

The runaway success of the microchip processor may be reaching its end. His new book is Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything. He is the author of numerous New York Times bestselling books including: The God Equation, The Future of the Mind, The Future of Humanity, Physics of the Future, Hyperspace, Parallel Worlds, Physics of the Impossible, and Beyond Einstein. He hosts two national science radio shows, Exploration and Science Fantastic. He has hosted several TV specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery Channel, and the Science Channel.

He graduated with a BA from Harvard and a PhD in physics from the University of California at Berkeley.
