A team of scientists has developed an ultrafast all-optical logic gate that operates at room temperature at speeds up to 240 gigahertz.
The gate is powered by light and uses polariton condensation to perform logic operations without generating heat, making it significantly faster than conventional electronic devices.
This breakthrough is a major step towards the development of optical computers that could potentially replace traditional electronics in super-fast computing systems.
The research focused on understanding polariton interactions and optimizing timing of light pulses to enhance the speed and reliability of optical systems for future technological advancements.
