7. Forum 2: Replacing Silicon

Now, based on what you learned in Section 8 above, what do you think: what will future computers look like? How probable is that silicon will be replaced by another material?

In your opinion, what is the material that has the potential to replace silicon in our computers?

Is it possible that instead of our conventional computers, quantum computers will be used?

Are there any drawbacks of using quantum computers?

If one of the drawbacks was cooling, would superconductors solve this problem?

Answer at least two of these questions and respond to at least one contribution of a fellow student in this forum.
