A single-atom transistor developed by Australian and Finnish scientists could prove extremely useful in the search of a better quantum bit for the next generation of personal computers.

A newly developed optical transistor could be the key to higher-performance CPUs and a leap forward toward a practical quantum computer.

But in placing a single-atom transistor on a silicon crystal -- and carefully isolating it from the surrounding substrate -- it provides a clearer path to a working quantum computer.
