Biochemical and Quantum-mechanical Computers

Information processing requires new concepts for the solution of complex problems that will become even more complex in the future. All solutions for these problems envisioned today use parallel computation. However, the traditional microelectronics does not offer appropriate architectures nor efficient wiring technologies for parallel processing. Therefore, these problems are a challenge for nanoelectronics. The difficulty of finding appropriate solutions for these problems gives ample scope for new, unusual ideas, too.
