Unlocking Quantum Potential

“An equation, perhaps no more than one inch long, that would allow us to, quote, 'Read the mind of God.'” What if everything we know about computing is on the verge of collapsing? Physicist Michio Kaku explores the next wave that could render traditional tech obsolete: Quantum computing. Quantum computers, Kaku argues, could unlock the secrets of life itself: and could allow us to finally advance Albert Einstein’s quest for a theory of everything. 00:00:00 Quantum computing and Michio’s book Quantum Supremacy00:01:19 Einstein’s unfinished theory 00:03:45 String theory as the "theory of everything" and quantum computers 00:06:20 Quantum computers vs. Digital computers 00:08:55 Real-world applications: Fertilizers, fusion energy, and medicine00:11:30 The global race for quantum supremacy 00:14:05 Moore’s Law collapsing 00:16:40 Quantum encryption and cybersecurity threats 00:19:15 How quantum computers work 00:21:50 The future of quantum biology 00:24:30 Alan Turing’s legacy 00:27:45 The history of computing 00:31:10 Quantum supremacy achieved: What’s next? 00:33:50 String theory explained00:38:20 Is the universe a simulation? 00:41:40 UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence 00:45:15 Civilizations beyond Earth
