Transistors are now only tens of atoms wide, and that's the actual reason quantum matters
Chip names like Intel's 18A and TSMC's 2nm are labels, but real transistor features are now only tens of atoms across, where quantum tunnelling starts to break the switch. That's the physics behind why quantum computing is a different paradigm rather than a faster chip, and why IBM is committing over $10 billion to it.
