Well, software will survive, but even software has to be rearranged because quantum computers are probabilistic. LSEBR: What about Silicon Valley companies that are not necessarily dealing with hardware? Heat generation and leakage due to the quantum theory will doom silicon computers, meaning that we have to go to molecular computers, optical computers, and eventually quantum computers, which compute on individual atoms. Silicon becomes useless at the atomic level. At that point electrons leak out, because of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. However, in the coming years, it’ll be five atoms across. You realise that your Pentium chip may have a layer of maybe 20 atoms across, at the minimum. Moore’s law, which says that computer power doubles every 18 months, is slowing down, and will eventually collapse, because of the quantum theory. The golden age of silicon is gradually coming to an end. LSEBR: In your talk this morning, you said Silicon Valley risks becoming another rust belt.
