Researchers have demonstrated the previously theoretical lightwave electronics in new logic gates operating at femtosecond speeds.
Rochester and Erlangen team uses lasers to control real and virtual charge.
In the domain of science and technology, an enduring mission has been to design electronics and information processing that function closest to the fastest timescales permitted by the laws of nature.
Researchers have now developed the fastest logic gates ever created, by zapping graphene and gold with laser pulses. The new logic gates are a million times faster than those in existing computers, demonstrating the viability of “lightwave electronics.”
