Quantum supremacy : how the quantum computer revolution will change everything / by Kaku, Michio,author.(CARDINAL)164337;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-313) and index.Rise of quantum computers. End of the age of silicon ; End of the digital age ; Rise of the quantum ; Dawn of the quantum computers ; The race is on -- Quantum computers and society. The origin of life ; Greening the world ; Feeding the planet ; Energizing the world -- Quantum medicine. Quantum health ; Gene editing and curing cancer ; AI and quantum computers ; Immortality -- Modeling the world and the universe. Global warming ; The sun in a bottle ; Simulating the universe ; A day in the year 2050 -- Epilogue: Quantum puzzles."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."--

The downloaded / by Sawyer, Robert J.,author.(CARDINAL)435623;
The new novel by Canada's top Science Fiction writer. In 2059 two very different groups have their minds uploaded into a quantum computer in Waterloo, Ontario. One group consists of astronauts preparing for Earth's first interstellar voyage. The other? Convicted murderers, serving their sentences in a virtual-reality prison. But when disaster strikes, the astronauts and the prisoners must download back into physical reality and find a way to work together to save Earth from destruction.

Programming the universe : a quantum computer scientist takes on the cosmos / by Lloyd, Seth,1960-(CARDINAL)472962;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-221).Is the universe actually a giant quantum computer? According to Seth Lloyd--professor of quantum-mechanical engineering at MIT and originator of the first technologically feasible design for a working quantum computer--the answer is yes. This book illuminates the professional and personal paths that led him to this remarkable conclusion. All interactions between particles in the universe, Lloyd explains, convey not only energy but also information--in other words, particles not only collide, they compute. And what is the entire universe computing, ultimately? "Its own dynamical evolution," he says. "As the computation proceeds, reality unfolds." To elucidate his theory, Lloyd examines the history of the cosmos, posing questions that in other hands might seem unfathomably complex: How much information is there in the universe? What information existed at the moment of the Big Bang and what happened to it? How do quantum mechanics and chaos theory interact to create our world? Could we attempt to re-create it on a giant quantum computer?--From publisher description.

Double vision / by Ingermanson, Randall,1958-(CARDINAL)358507;
Rachel Meyers and Dillon Richard are about as opposite as two people can get. She is quirky, erratic, and liberal-and she despises the government and the constraints that "Big Brother" has placed on her. He is uptight, meticulous, and conservative-and he believes rules and laws are made to be followed, and done so with enthusiasm. But they are both brilliant and are working together on a top-secret project-a quantum computer that has global implications. On the eve of certain breakthrough, the sabotage begins, and each questions the other's integrity. When co-worker Keryn Wills brokers an uneasy truce-in spite of her jealousy-the project appears to be back on track. However it is clear that someone knows about their world-changing discovery...and the danger is escalating. The trio has no choice except to run... But are they running from or toward their unseen enemy?
