Features: Currently, large-scale integrated circuits are still advancing along the principles of microelectronics, following macroscopic statistical laws. The chip's unit devices and interconnections are approaching their physical limits, and microscopic quantum effects will significantly impact device performance. Whether to utilize or avoid quantum effects has become a reality that professionals in the microelectronics industry must face. However, regardless of the outcome, electronic devices that leverage quantum effects will inevitably replace microelectronics-based integrated devices, leading to a new industrial revolution. This book bridges the gap between popular science and professional introductions. However, it may present challenges to readers in certain sections. Nanotechnology is developing rapidly, and materials cited a year or two ago may be outdated by the time of publication. Nevertheless, some of its concepts and perspectives will not change quickly, as these are indeed the reflections of the authors, written with genuine sincerity. We hope readers will gain something from it.
