• The pathway of breakthrough technologies from
  the laboratory to the real world usually follows
  an S shaped curve. The bottom flat part of the
  curve is mostly the time in the lab and very
  early trial applications. This is followed by a
  gradual climb in market penetration until the
  market is eventually saturated or a better
  technology takes over the drive forward. So the
  march of technology over time is usually
  portrayed as series of overlapping S curves as
  one technology gives wave to the next. The big
  breakthroughs begin with major scientific
  advances like the discovery that quantum
  entanglement was more than a mere fantasy. As we
  come to understand the science better this leads
  to new core technology, such as a magnetic RAM
  and then that becomes major applications like
  instant on memories in a lap top computer.
  Today we can already see the next three waves at
  various stages in the S curve. Spintronics is
  already out of the lab and onto the desktop with
  MRAMs from Freescale having jus gone onto the
  market. Nanophotinics is still mostly in the lab
  but technologies that could lead to applications
  are in the works. The first of these may improve
  conventional chipmakin by providing the ability
  to move lithography to the nanometer scale. And
  quantum computing is still at the basic science
  level, where we are still trying to understand
  phenomena like superposition and entanglement
  which were once merely theoretical concepts but
  now have real world examples. To move to
  technology we will need solve very hard
  scientific problems, for example, sustaining the
  coherence of a quantum bit, a so-called q-bit.
