The chip of the future comes from Japan: it is 1,000 times faster than current semiconductors and does not heat up

University of Tokyo researchers unveiled a nonvolatile quantum switching prototype that encodes bits magnetically and processes information in about 40 picoseconds.

The device stayed stable through more than 100 billion operations and could use far less energy than conventional silicon chips.

If it can be manufactured at scale, it may help remove a major speed-and-heat bottleneck in computing.

The team is targeting a prototype timeline around 2030.
