I vaguely recall a research paper IBM published about 15 or 20 years ago that explored this general issue, although the focus was on the number of electrons that had to be affected in order to be reliably detectable. Even that concept may now be obsolete if individual atoms can be switched. I think at that time the conclusion was similarly that we had a few decades left.
