Single-atom transistor promises new quantum computing breakthroughs
This single-atom transistor could prove extremely useful in the development of a better quantum bit for the next generation of personal computers.
Article Summary
As far as transistor size is concerned, it doesn't get any smaller than this. An international group of researchers from the Helsinki University of Technology, the University of New South Wales and the University of Melbourne have successfully built a fully working transistor that is just one atom in size, smashing previous records and, more importantly, creating a very unique venue to study phenomena to be exploited in the rapidly developing field of quantum computing.
