UltraRAM Breakthrough Brings New Memory and Storage Tech to Silicon
Graphene, unlike silicon, lacks a ‘band gap’ — a rate of current flow that is so low that it causes the material to drop to zero conductivity. The best-of-both-worlds technology is one that’s non-volatile, fast to access, and cheap to create. As part of the newly expanded ten-year IBM Quantum Development Roadmap, IBM plans for this system to also house IBM’s future generations of quantum processors.
Sat down with outgoing CTO Martin van den Brink to talk about the company’s rise to dominance and the life and death of Moore’s Law.
