Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of computers, and researchers at the University of Rochester have now developed the fastest ones ever created. By zapping graphene and gold with laser ...

Two independent research teams have each demonstrated collisional quantum gates using fermionic atoms: a long-sought ...

A study on logic gates titled "Light-field control of real and virtual charge carriers" has been published in the journal Nature. Researchers have developed a new kind of logic gate, the fundamental ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester and the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg have created the fastest logic gates ever. If the process is ever brought to market, the ...

Why it matters: For decades, scientists have dreamed of building computer chips that use light instead of electricity to process information. While our current silicon chips are incredibly fast, ...

A hybrid computer uses rotating mechanical beams for memory and electrical contacts for logic, performing reprogrammable computation through physical motion in environments where conventional ...

As Moore's Law begins to slow, the search is on for new ways to keep the exponential rise in processing speeds going. New research suggests that an exotic approach known as "lightwave electronics" ...

The processor in a quantum computer. The quantum chip contains the qubits as well as the quantum logic gates that manipulate the qubits. This differs dramatically from a classical computer where the ...

Forward-looking: Semiconductors are essential for today's electronics, providing computational capabilities and the ability to control electric signals. They are also highly complex and costly, so ...
