[Freedombox-discuss] The impending revolution of low-power quantum computers

[Melvin Carvalho]

By 2017, quantum physics will help reduce the energy consumption of
our computers and cellular phones by up to a factor of 100. For
research and industry, the power consumption of transistors is a key
issue. The next revolution will likely come from tunnel-FET, a
technology that takes advantage of a phenomenon referred to as
“quantum tunneling.” At the EPFL, but also in the laboratories of IBM
Zurich and the CEA-Leti in France, research is well underway. As part
of a special issue of Nature devoted to silicon, Adrian Ionescu, an
EPFL researcher, has written an article on the topic.
