Microchips are evolving rapidly, driven by the demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. Nvidia and Google have made significant advancements, with Google’s new chip achieving tasks in minutes that would take traditional computers billions of years. The microchip's history dates back to the invention of the transistor in 1947. Innovations continue with light-based data processing, aiming for greener technology solutions. The potential quantum economy could reach $2 trillion by 2035, fueled by substantial public investments.
