Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...

UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering researchers created a "quantum-inspired” revolution in microelectronics, storing classical computer memory in crystal gaps where atoms should be.
