Document Summary
Quantum mechanical computer is expected to replace the transistorized computer once the technical barriers to moore"s law can no longer be overcome. The basis of this computer is a chip that runs on atoms instead of transistors. Atoms are used in place of transistors to provide computing power and memory. While putting a few hundred million transistors on an integrated circuit/microchip size of a thumb nail, there are billions upon billions of atoms in the same space. Result: if successful, quantum mechanical chips will be far more powerful, far faster and have far more memory than conventional transistorized chips. In the first diagram, you have a small circle (the nucleus of the atom) around which there is a larger broken or dotted circle (the orbit of the electron), and an. The simple version of the atomic or quantum chip. Reference to your diagram shows an atom composed of the nucleus and the.
