The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.

  • -- Ralph Merkle 拉尔夫·默克尔

物理定律应该允许我们把东西一个分子一个分子地排列,甚至原子一个原子地排列,在某种程度上,我们不可避免地要开发一种技术,让我们做到这一点。

In order to figure out how to make atoms compute, you have to learn how to speak their language and to understand how they process information under normal circumstances.

为了弄清楚如何让原子计算,你必须学习如何说原子的语言,并理解它们在正常情况下是如何处理信息的。

The problems of language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary language.

这里的语言问题真的很严重。我们想以某种方式谈谈原子的结构。但是我们不能用普通的语言来谈论原子。
