An all-optical universal logic gate has been developed under the scientific guidance of the VYZOV Prize laureate

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Wuppertal (Germany), under the scientific guidance of Pavlos Lagoudakis, Vice President for Photonics at Skoltech, laureate of the VYZOV Prize for Future Technologies, have developed an All-optical universal gate based on polaritons. 

These logic gates are cascadable. It brings scientists closer to the creation of a fully optical computer that operates much faster than electronic analogues. 

The findings of this research have been published in Nature Communications.
