Si l'on se pose la question de la vitesse ultime, compte tenu de quelques phénomènes physiques fondamentaux (énergie nécessaire pour distinguer deux états, vitesse de propagation d'une onde électromagnétique, chaleur dissipable par unité de volume), on est conduit à envisager pour les mémoires très rapides un fonctionnement à basse température. Une solution intéressante consiste à utiliser l'effet Josephson (supraconduction tunnel). 2, record 2, French, - effet%20Josephson
