1. Excellent Introduction to Quantum Computing
   OK, so the title is a bit intimidating, especially for those of us who have applied Newtonian physics throughout our lives. Quantum physics just seems so devoid logic. Yet Michio Kaku has found a way to explain quantum physics and their application to quantum computing that makes sense. More importantly, he explains how quantum computing will have a dramatic impact on health science, clean energy, and our understanding of the universe.We’re still in the early stages of development of quantum computing with many obstacles to overcome. Nevertheless, this promises to be the next technological revolution. This book provides an easy-to-read introduction with examples that you can use to explain to others the power of quantum computing. As the subtitle notes: it will CHANGE EVERYTHING.

2. Excellent and well Documented Scientific Reference
   This is a must read for anyone who needs or wants to know more about the Quantum computing revolution. It is extremely well written in a way which does not take an advanced degree to understand the gist while also documented for those readers who desire a deeper dive. I highly recommend this book.

3. Good read, maybe longer than needed.
   A very interesting review of the basic concepts and potential of quantum computing; maybe a bit too much time on the many applications for my taste.

4. Haven’t started to read yet, but looking forward to it!
   Can’t wait to read this book, I’ve read several of his books and liked them, watch him on television all the time.

5. Not a bad book but….
   I really wish it spent more time in how quantum computing works and the challenges is getting it work and less time on how it may solve this problem or answer this question.I was waiting for it to explain how quantum computing would solve the problem of defensive players on punts touching the football when they shouldn’t.Finally, I think it would have been worth spending a bit of time asking how this technology might end up being used to jerk people over and harm them. As well as the harm this level of computing power may cause (besides breaking encryption).

6. Outstanding
   Michiu Kaku with is usual charisma takes a complex topic and makes it understandable for the novice. Highly recommended.

7. I learned a lot
   This isn’t the type of book I ordinarily would pick up, and it was slow-going for me. But a family member had recommended it enthusiastically. He died before I started reading. I miss, greatly, being able to discuss the book with him. I was particularly interested in quantum computers’ potential applications in agriculture and food production, and intrigued regarding their potential use in photosynthesis. And that’s just one field quantum computers could influence in major ways. Much to think about.

8. Good, Not Greay
   I agree in part with another reviewer. I found the first parts of the book, where the processes underlying quantum computing were sketched, to be fascinating and well done. The histories of computing, the Schrödinger equation, the Turing machine, were told in a compelling way. But as another reviewer noted, much of the rest of the book is on how quantum computing can solve virtually every problem confronting humanity. The problems are described in some detail. But the conclusion, as often as not, would be “and only a quantum computer can wade through the masses of data generated and provide an answer.”I understand the field of quantum computing is still evolving. I also appreciate there is much about quantum computing that is difficult if not impossible to explain to the lay person. But it was a bit like “Presto! ChangeO! And the quantum computer may be able to provide solutions to this ______ problem (fill in the blank).”Overall a good read, but not a great one. The book did, however, do much to spark my imagination regarding future directions for needed research. And to provide insights into potential applications of quantum computing.

9. I’ll admit that I’m a shameless fan. I’ve been reading his books since Hyperspace, almost 30 years…Michio Kaku never disappoints. I’ve learned so much from him… Quantum Supremacy is fantastic.Let’s face it, if you’re reading this review you already know the book is worth buying 😎
