Quantum computing is the next revolution

Dr. Michio Kaku, the renowned theoretical physicist, walks us through the evolutionary journey of computing, from analog to digital to the quantum era.

Quantum computers hold immense promise because of their ability to tap into the weirdness of quantum mechanics. If nature allows us full access to its secrets, we could boost computing power exponentially, which in turn would allow us to solve all types of complex problems.

The race between major tech companies to create a quantum computer is intense, but the endeavor faces many challenges. For instance, we have yet to create a fully functional quantum computer.
