Creating Quantum states in everyday electronics is a major breakthrough

This may also spell an earlier demise for Moore’s Law

The emerging power and exponential growth of Quantum Computing in recent years have people questioning the validity of Moore’s Law — coined by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965 which deduced that computing power roughly doubled every 12 months while the price got cheaper at the same time.

Moore’s Law has fueled chip innovation for the past 50 years, but the recent revolutionary developments in Computing technology point towards an end to the transistor-based era. With Google & IBM developing the next-gen quantum computers and players like Microsoft & Amazon offering Cloud-based quantum computing services, the era of computing growth benchmark in the form of Moore’s Law is perhaps may lose its validity sooner than later.

There is still this argument in the scientific community that current quantum computing technology is too expensive with its reliance on exotic materials like superconducting metals, levitated atoms, or diamonds. And it would be a while before we can come up with ways to create inexpensive quantum computers like the one Google claims to have created recently — took 20 seconds to perform a highly complex calculation which would have taken the most powerful…
