ABC* News noon today, Tuesday May 25.
I do not claim to understand the science, I'm simply reporting:
Australian scientists have built a transistor using 7 phosphorus atoms.
The scientist interviewed said the aim is to put computers into the quantum world,replacing classical computers within 5 to 10 years .
WHY? It was claimed this technology will increase computer speed exponentially,which would result in doing computations currently impossible with classical computers.
