Sentences with phrase «computer on a silicon chip»

Researchers create the first quantum computer on a silicon chip.

Not exact matches

Unlike traditional computers, in which a silicon chip's transistors are either turned on or off, a qubit can be both at the same time.

Quantum computing relies on particles called quantum bits, or qubits, to process data, unlike modern computers that rely on transistors packed into conventional silicon chips.

Whereas silicon chips encode data in either two states — on or off as represented by a «0» or «1» — qubits can store data in both states at the same time, potentially letting the computers crunch data more quickly.

To suggest otherwise is silly, akin to saying that silicon chips don't work (despite writing the comment on a computer using them.)

The tiny power chips will be made on six - inch silicon carbide wafers using the same manufacturing technique used to make other types of computer chips.

Instead of light, computers run on electrons moving through silicon - based chips — which, despite huge advances, are still less efficient than photonics.

These techniques include: human tissue created by reprogramming cells from people with the relevant disease (dubbed «patient in a dish»); «body on a chip» devices, where human tissue samples on a silicon chip are linked by a circulating blood substitute; many computer modelling approaches, such as virtual organs, virtual patients and virtual clinical trials; and microdosing studies, where tiny doses of drugs given to volunteers allow scientists to study their metabolism in humans, safely and with unsurpassed accuracy.

«Our design incorporates conventional silicon transistor switches to «turn on» operations between qubits in a vast two - dimensional array, using a grid - based «word» and «bit» select protocol similar to that used to select bits in a conventional computer memory chip,» he added.

Unlike almost every other major group elsewhere, CQC2T's quantum computing effort is obsessively focused on creating solid - state devices in silicon, from which all of the world's computer chips are made.

Using the new methods of micromachining, which borrow technology for making computer chips to carve out and build up microscopic structures on silicon wafers, Peter Gammel and his colleagues at Bell Labs / Lucent Technologies reduced three of the critical devices of a cell phone to Lilliputian size that will allow all the components of a phone to be constructed on a single chip.

Today, shrunk to just nanometres across and carved into beds of silicon, these electrical on - off switches mass in their billions on every single computer chip.

Like silicon, graphene is a semiconductor, but the nano - sized ribbons could be used to pack much more processing power on every computer chip.

There he is working to create a computer that will fulfill his boyhood vision — a new kind of computer, based not on the regimented order of traditional silicon chips but on the organized chaos of the human brain.

To improve the efficiency of waveguides — devices that guide light on the surface of silicon optical computer chips — a complex balance must be struck.

These «organs on a chip» — so called for their resemblance to silicon computer microchips — look nothing like the body parts they're meant to replicate.

The iPhone, for example, is made from commodities such as silicon, iron, plastic, steel, and rare earth metals fashioned into computer chips, screens, and so on.
