There are many global problems in our world, but computers can help predict them; that's why modern physics and many other modern sciences lead us into the computer world. Unfortunately, the potential of modern digital computers is limited—real-world problems need better computers, we need new computers that use new physical principles. But the creation of new computers requires breakthroughs in many areas: for new computers we need advanced materials, build a lot of new hardware, create new software to design those computers, develop new operating systems to run them, and also we... read more
