I'm also not an EECS person, so I do not know if we are here yet, but at some point you will have to deal with quantum effects.

- zhemao 13y agoWe already do have to worry about quantum effects. Electron tunneling is a real concern and one of the causes of chip degradation over operating lifetime. Essentially, an excited electron can jump across the transistor gate oxide and get trapped in the gate metal. If this happens enough, the threshhold voltage of the transistor increases, making it slower.
