Without quantum mechanics there would be no transistor, and hence no personal computer; no laser, and hence no Blu-ray players.

没有量子力学，就不会有晶体管，从而就不会有个人电脑；没有激光，那么就不会有蓝光唱机。

The transistor became the basis of a new invention called the "computer" which I suspect those of you reading this may be familiar with.

晶体管后来成为了一项叫做“计算机”的新发明的基础，我想正在阅读本文的你对于这个应该比较熟悉吧。

The University of New South Wales' Centre for Quantum Computer Technology (CQCT) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison created the transistor by manipulating atoms using a special microscope.

新南威尔士大学的量子计算机技术中心(CQCT)和威斯康辛大学麦迪逊校区利用特殊的显微镜操纵原子联合研制了这块晶体管。

The strange science of quantum mechanics promises a revolution in computer power as radical as that following the invention of the transistor in the 1950s.

The recent spurt in American productivity may be the productivity pay-off from the computer revolution, which started 50 years ago with the invention of the transistor.

In 65 short years, the humble transistor evolved into an artificial life form called Watson, a computer system that recognizes natural language and, in 2011, handily defeated two former champions on the TV quiz show Jeopardy.
