Silicon chips for optical quantum computing

UK researchers at Bristol University have shown that it is possible to control single photons on a silicon chip. The team developed 'the world's smallest optical controlled-NOT gate -- the building block of a quantum computer.' As said the lead researcher, 'This is a crucial step towards a future optical...

Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers

Architects of the next generation of computers are developing a variety of nanostructures to meet the demand for increasingly smaller features for semiconductors, microprocessors, and other components. These tiny building blocks are quite extraordinary-some even self-assemble. And they'll help overcome many of the limitations of today's microelectronics...
