Gate-All-Around Transistors, Quantum Refrigerators To Be Targeted By U.S. Export Rules
The trade war between the United States and China took a sharp turn for the tech world earlier this year when the United States' Bureau of Industrial Security added Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei in its Entity List and required American companies to seek government approval before making sales to the company. This move followed concerns that sensitive technology that can be used against American national security interests will make its way into undesirable actors' hands, as per the current administration.
Now, after nearly a year of experience with the list, American authorities are well on their way to classify which exports can be harmful to the country, reports Reuters. The United States Department of Commerce is drafting up five new rules that will limit a specific set of technologies for export. These include Gate-All-Around Field Effect transistors jointly developed by Samsung and IBM, and quantum dilated refrigerators.
Gate-all-around field-effect transistors are expected to be used at the "3nm" node.

If I recall correctly, one of the lost Air Malaysia flights had a lot of Transmeta people on it, people who were working on quantum stuff. Pretty convenient how they would just disappear. Boeing aircraft, perhaps with a backdoor that others learned how to exploit externally to divert somewhere else. Just like on 9/11.
