True to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the 1960s. But this trajectory is predicted to soon plateau because silicon — the backbone of modern transistors — loses its electrical properties once devices made from this material dip below a certain size.

Quantum teleportation shows remarkable promise as being critical for the production of semiconductors in the future. The problem lies in trying to understand and transmit information via quantum entanglement.
