Could Quantum Materials Kill Silicon Chips?

Imagine your laptop booting instantly or AI that processes data in microseconds. Scientists just unlocked a 'hidden metallic state' in a quantum material, 1T-TaS₂, that can switch from insulator to conductor with a flash of light—processing info 1,000 times faster than silicon. If this scales, are we witnessing the dawn of a post-silicon era, or will practical hurdles keep us grounded? Would you trust your devices to quantum materials? #Tech #QuantumComputing #TechDebate
