Laser-Based Logic Gate Speeds Up Information Processing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A logic gate developed by researchers from the University of Rochester and the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg operates at femtosecond timescales, potentially enabling information processing at the petahertz limit. Logic gates, which are the basic building blocks necessary for computation, control how incoming information taking the form of a 1 or 0 is processed. Logic gates require two input signals and yield a logic output. In recent years, lasers have been developed that are able to generate pulses lasting a few femtoseconds to generate ultrafast...Read full article
