Electrons and nuclei get entangled
Jul 1, 2003
Every 18 months the number of transistors that can be packed onto a typical computer chip doubles. This is Moore's law - an empirical demonstration of our ingenuity to develop faster computers. Moore's law has held for the last 50 years, and if it holds for another 10 to 20 years then we will have created transistors that are the size of atoms. At this scale the classical laws of physics break down and are replaced by quantum mechanics.
