Photon computing is a "thing"... coming to your desktop any decade now!
I don't know for sure, but I'm fairly certain it will all come down to quantum fields: superposition of a million states onto a pair of entangled electrons, etc. etc.
When that happens, we can stop worrying about chip architecture, and start worrying about how to protect a species of pretty-smart monkeys from a collection of AI machines with the computing power of galaxies.
Just kidding. . . there will be literally nothing we could possibly do, and we will be lucky if any part of humanity is incorporated into the new God we've created. All hail Googlia!
