Is it possible to program at an atomic level?

What do you mean

Components are made of atoms, right?
What if the ones and zeros were single atoms instead of electronic pulses.
Your programs are compiled to machine language, which are executed on a CPU with complex circuit gate patterns made up entirely of tiny transistors only 14nm across, meaning your instructions are affecting the state of tiny transistors only 14 atoms wide.
You're already doing it.
There's quantum computing, where 1 and 0 is determined by electron half spin.
It's possible and now they are trying to transition quantum computing from lab to commercial world
yeah, because everything we know is a simulation, so whoever did that can program at the atomic level.

Bohr radius is 0.5 angstroms, which implies that in 14nm you could fit 280 hydrogen atoms in the ground state.
OP here I did a search and it says we can't even view atoms yet so I guess that's that.

Yes and no.
>>54456872
This. Turns out it's hard to continually program electrons.

If you cant see your penis it doesnt mean you cant use it.
Even 1 year olds know this.

>can't view atom
We can, with STM. In fact, you can write your name with letters one atom thick

do you mean like god? we /x/ now

Yes but first we need a 3D programming language.

1 year olrs don't know shit.

I see what you did there :^)

IBM did it. They built this thing called molecular cascade logic. By arranging CO molecules with a an atomic force microscope on a surface just right you can make molecular dominos and make logic gates capable of performing one computation
