Nanocomputers and Swarm Intelligence

For the last 50 years, the power of integrated circuits has continued to grow. However, this performance will end up reaching its physical limit. What new ways will then be available to develop even more powerful and up-to-date systems? This book introduces the principles of quantic computing, the use of nano-tubes in molecular transistors and ADN computing. It suggests new fabrication methods for the 21st century and introduces new architecture models, ranging from the most conventional to the most radical. Using a chronological theme, it explains our unavoidable entry in the nano-device world: from the 1948 transistor to the microchip. It concludes by anticipating the changes in daily living: investments, impact on coding activities, nanocomputing systems implementation and IT job mutation.

在過去的50年中，集成電路的功率持續增長。然而，這種性能最終將達到其物理極限。那麼，開發更強大和最新系統的新方法將會有哪些？本書介紹了量子計算的原理，以及在分子晶體管和DNA計算中使用納米管的方法。它提出了21世紀的新製造方法，並介紹了從最傳統到最激進的新架構模型。通過按時間順序的主題，它解釋了我們不可避免地進入納米設備世界的過程：從1948年的晶體管到微芯片。最後，它預測了日常生活的變化：投資、對編碼活動的影響、納米計算系統的實施以及IT工作的變異。
