Classical computers are built from semiconductor chips containing billions of transistors. For decades, the number of transistors on a chip has roughly doubled every two years, a trend known as Moore’s Law. However, as transistors approach atomic scales, continuing this trend is becoming increasingly difficult, motivating the exploration of new computing paradigms such as quantum computing.
