Michio Kaku: Quantum computing is the next revolution

"We're now in the initial stages of the next revolution."

Dr. Michio Kaku, the renowned theoretical physicist, walks through the evolutionary journey of quantum computing, from analog to digital to the quantum era. Quantum computers hold immense promise because of their ability to tap into parallel universes, which boosts their computational power exponentially. They could revolutionize agriculture, energy, and medicine, solving complex problems like creating efficient fertilizers, achieving fusion energy, and modeling diseases at the molecular level.

The race between major tech companies and intelligence agencies to actualize this power is intense, as they could redefine industries and even global power structures if they succeed.

The endeavor isn’t without challenges; we’ve yet to create a fully functional quantum computer. But Kaku envisions a future where quantum computers unravel complex equations, potentially shedding light on profound cosmic mysteries.

25 years ago I read Michio's book hyperspace.. I've been a physicist ever since and dedicated my life to the education of others in the realms of physics. Thank you Michio!

[alfonsodmeraz]

This man has influenced and inspired me, from his book on physics, to achieve getting a master’s in electrical/computer engineering after having graduated with a bachelors in business administration. My life has changed completely for the better, and now I plan to build technology companies!

I'm so glad to see Professor Kaku is back to make videos for this channel. I missed him :)

Dr Michio Kaku is one of my most favourite physicists the world over. His ability to communicate and explain his thoughts, and understanding of the universe around us is quite remarkable. He is really awesome... 🙂

[dipakgupta]

Even I can get a glimpse of what quantum computing is. Thanks, Kaku. You are an amazing teacher.

Dr. Kaku was my Astronomy Professor at City College (NYC) back in 2000! He wasn't famous yet but was a great professor. I took the class as a science requirement and loved it. (No, i had NO idea who he was back then).

[trggrt]

If i listen Profesor Michio kaku i never feel enough is very smart person &i loved to learn from him is a big personality & a huge library i like to congratulated him God Bless him

[LBenjamin]

I wish Dr.Michio Kaku a long and healthy life. I can’t imagine a world without him. We’ve already lost Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan.

[mahadihasan]

His last few sentences where he expresses his hope for a “theory of everything “ is what screams he is a physicist 😂. Lots of application will come and medicine, technology, agriculture will be revolutionised. But yet He wishes to know the workings of the universe like a true physicist

Just imagine:
People of around 80 years of age are witnessing how it all started with those huge computers and now we have quantum computers… man the speed of our evolution is extreme

[Spot]

This person is the only reason why i felt love in Computer Science.

[hnd]

it would be great if every chemical, physical concepts were taught from scratch and also to learn quantum computing

[meouby]

Never fail to inspire and amaze us. The way he project the idea is well articulated and creative

[neilc]

I imagine now how Quantum Computers can and will be used as weapons because that's what we have always done.

[ssteezy]

Your comparison to and respect for mother nature were just beautiful. Thank you, Michio

[hammam]

A wonderful sequence in presenting the importance of quantum computers and the extent of their impact on us in the future

[qndvphs]

More of Dr. Michio Kaku please!. Love Michio Kaku he inspires me..

[Markmix]

Very interesting keywords and the tones with honesty aww

[dickleijen]

My favourite professor! God bless you m.r kaku! GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS!

[nicholascrow]

I love Richard Feynman, a very entertaining communicator, definitely worth a watch!
