How does computer memory work? To truly understand how computer memory works, we must first examine the basic building blocks that make it possible: transistors and logic gates.

Modern computers are electronic. Both the processor and memory are made of transistors, each of which can be in one of two states—like a switch (these are called logic gates).

The path beyond the limits of regular computers, even the most powerful supercomputer, lies with the theory of quantum mechanics. Quantum computing promises to change the world, but how do quantum ...
