Quantum Electrodynamics
• A photon goes from one place and time to
another place and time. • An electron goes from one place and time to another place and time. • An electron emits or absorbs a photon at a certain place and time.

Control
Store instructions in memory
Use a clock to drive an increment thing
That indexes into memory to fetch instructions
Decoder on the instructions
Then address either an adder or whatever
It’s a CPU!
Modern CPU has 5 billion transistors
Transistor size 28 nm
