[comp.arch] Quantum Dynamics saving the Super Computers

mitsolid@acf5.NYU.EDU (Thanasis Mitsolides) (11/18/89)

Whatever happened to that gate which was based on the Tuneling Effect
of Quantum Dynamics I believe and was 100 times smaller, 100 times faster
and spend 100 times less electricity that normal gates?

Anybody with any information?
Any projections for the time when it is expected to be used in ICs?

TI is active among the industrialists. Answer to 2nd question: probably
sooner than one thought. (No idea)
