Note: Traditional circuits on chips rely on electrons as information carriers.  In the future, photons, which transmit information in optical circuits at the speed of light, could also take over this task.  The basic building blocks of such new nanochips are quantum light sources, which are then connected to waveguides and nano-quantum optical detectors.

In  the building blocks of nanomolecular quantum memories,  light sources must be coupled to photonic circuits, such as waveguides, to enable light-based quantum computing. The decisive factor here is the precise and controllable placement of the light sources. In conventional 3D materials, there are also active quantum light sources such as diamond or silicon, but they cannot be precisely positioned. By taking advantage of the structure of nanomolecular memories , the size of the memory bits can be reduced substantially further, thereby increasing the density and efficiency of magnetic memory and reducing its cost and availability.

Nanolithography methods are now being used to provide some very powerful memories. The science and technology of nanoelectronics  offer different nanomolecular memory  possibilities . For example, photorefractive materials represent just one type of optical memory. In fact, using nanotechnology, it is possible to increase the storage capacity of information by a thousand times or more. Information storage is a very important and necessary topic that can be   done in various ways through nanomolecular memories  . One new tool for storing information is the use of nickel quantum dots in nanometer sizes, which are expected to be used to store terabytes of data.   There is a great potential for activity in this field with regard to nanomolecular memories .



Each quantum dot consists of a discrete ball of a few hundred atoms that can have one of two magnetic states. This allows them to hold a single bit of information (a zero or a one), as is customary in machine computing. In conventional hard drives, bits of information must be spaced far enough apart to avoid interference. Quantum dots act as completely independent units that are not structurally connected, so they can be brought closer together to some extent. In fact, nanotechnology can increase data storage capacity by a factor of a thousand or more. Data storage is a very important and urgent topic that can be   addressed in various ways through nanoscale memories .   One new data storage tool is the use of nanoscale nickel quantum dots, which are expected to be used to store terabytes of data. With  nanoscale memories,  there   is great potential for activity in this field.


Conclusion: 

Traditional circuits on chips rely on electrons as information carriers.  In the future, photons, which carry information in optical circuits at the speed of light, could also take over.  The basic building blocks of such new nanochips are quantum light sources, which are then connected to waveguides and nano-quantum optical detectors.
