So it sounds like the challenge at this point is getting sufficiently small wires.

- da-bacon 15y agoMaking it work at room temperature is probably a greater long term issue. As the temperature goes up the system has a higher probability of accessing states that will make it not function properly (i.e. your logic gates become probabilistic.)
- NinetyNine 15y agoA massive redundant array of probabilistic logic networks sounds pretty familiar to me.
- flashingleds 15y agoActually the same people have essentially already worked that one out: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6064/64.full?rss=1 http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6064/64.full?rss=1 But as has already been mentioned, the biggest practical hurdle is temperature. This single atom device is measured at milliKelvin temperatures, and fundamentally could not operate at room temperature. It still has important consequences, but building computer chips is not an immediate one.
