Revolutionary UA transistor puts Tucson on global tech map | Local News
TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) – Researchers at the University of Arizona are making waves in the world of quantum computing with the development of the world’s first peta-hertz-speed photo-transistor for high-speed computers.
Researchers at the University of Arizona are making waves in the tech world with their groundbreaking development in quantum computing.
The new transistor could potentially make computers more than a thousand times faster than any modern microchip, according to tech experts.
The university is already known for the world’s fastest microscope and would now like it to be known for the world’s first transistor of its kind, said Mohammed Hassan, an associate professor of physics and optical sciences at the University of Arizona.
A transistor serves as an electronic switch or amplifier, controlling the flow of electricity.
