An atom can’t be a transistor. That’s like saying “a single atom banana”. An atom can encode spin state, which can be used for computation.

- ben_w 6y agoI don’t make any claim of being a material scientist, I just wish to note that there is something with the name “single atom transistor”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-atom_transistor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-atom_transistor
- postalrat 6y agoMaybe an atom can be something more powerful than a transistor and be able to emulate the properties of a transistor.
