The Engineering Puzzle of Storing Trillions of Bits in your Smartphone, SSD using Quantum Mechanics
It s a puzzle as to how your smartphone or the solidstate drive in your laptop can store gigabytes to terabytes of data by the click of a button It s amazing that your devices work flawlessly, and the information doesn t leak out. In this video, we ll learn how scientists and engineers use quantum mechanics to store this information reliably. We ll take a look on the inside of the 3D NAND technology, and see an application of quantum mechanics specifically quantum tunneling. 0:35 Where is the storage microchip in your Smartphone 1:12 Inside the memory storage microchip. 2:08 Exploring the walls of the charge trap. 3:00 Writing information to a memory cell. 3:48 How Quantum Mechanics is applied to writing to a memory cell. 5:30 Dimensions of a memory cell. 6:24 Memory cells DO lose their over time. 6:49 Wrapping up Do you want to support indepth engineering and technology education Join our YouTube Membership, or on Patreon Patreon:
