Nanoelectronics - from artificial atoms to the computers of the future

As electronics keep getting smaller and smaller, what will happen when a transistor is the size of an atom?
Will a computer chip still work? Will the strange laws of quantum physics impose limits on computers or will they open new possibilities for quantum communication or materials - and how do you make such electronics?
