From Classical Electronic Computing to Cutting-Edge Quantum Computing: Celebrating a Century of Field-Effect Transistors and Quantum Science and Technology

For centuries, mechanical calculators have dominated the history of human calculation. Starting with the seminal conception of transistors in 1925, we have embarked on an extraordinary journey of today’s classical electronic computing and are now going to embrace cutting-edge quantum computing. The great milestones in this human computing evolution showcase that each conceptual development and technology advancement has paved the route for the next and culminated in the powerful modern digital computers we use today.

Abstract

For centuries, mechanical calculators have dominated the history of human calculation. Starting with the seminal conception of transistors in 1925, we have embarked on an extraordinary journey of today’s classical electronic computing and are now going to embrace cutting-edge quantum computing. The great milestones in this human computing evolution showcase that each conceptual development and technology advancement has paved the route for the next and culminated in the powerful modern digital computers we use today.
