Silicon-Based Qubits Very Similar in Design to Classic Silicon Transistors
“Hot” spin quantum bits in silicon transistors Quantum bits (qubits) are the smallest units of information in a quantum computer. Currently, one of the biggest challenges in developing this kind of powerful computer is scalability. A research group at the University of Basel, working with the IBM Research Laboratory in Rüschlikon, has made a […]
The Physical Speed Limit of Computers Is…
The maximum speed of signal transmission in microchips is about one petahertz (one million gigahertz), which is about 100,000 times faster than current transistors. Whether computer chips of this maximum speed can ever actually be produced is, however, questionable.
