Abstract
A system for performing digital operations, including a first device configured to transform a digital input into one or more signals, at least one AB ring, the at least one AB ring irreducibly-coupled and configured to include at least three terminals, a second device configured to read a portion of a signal expressed upon two or more of the at least three terminals, and a third device configured to transform the portion of the signal expressed upon two or more of the at least three terminals into a digital output, the third device operationally connected to the second device.
Claims16
A method of performing digital operations comprising:
- transforming at least one digital input into a signal;
- using the signal to excite an irreducibly-coupled Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring network, wherein the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring network is configured with three terminals;
- reading a state of the irreducibly-coupled Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring network, the state read by evaluating what portion of a transmission probability can be measured on one or more of the three terminals.
A system of performing digital operations comprising:
- a first device configured to transform a digital input into one or more signals;
- at least one Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring, the at least one Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring irreducibly-coupled and configured to include at least three terminals;
- a second device configured to read a portion of a signal expressed upon two or more of the at least three terminals;
- a third device configured to transform the portion of the signal expressed upon two or more of the at least three terminals into a digital output, the third device operationally connected to the second device.
An apparatus for performing digital operations comprising:
- at least one electron waveguide, defining an irreducibly-coupled Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring network and the at least one electron waveguide operationally connected to at least three terminals;
- a modulator operationally connected to the at least one electron waveguide;
- an electron wave transmission detector operationally connected to the at least one electron waveguide for detecting a portion of an electron wave transmission expressed upon two or more of the at least three terminals;
- a signal-to-digital converter operationally connected to the electron wave transmission detector and configured to express the portion of an electron wave transmission expressed upon two or more of the at least three as a digital output.
A device, comprising:
- a first irreducibly coupled Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring having at least three terminals;
- and a second irreducibly coupled Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring having at least three terminals;
- wherein the second irreducibly coupled AB ring is operationally connected to the first irreducibly coupled Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring.
