Nanoring as logic gate and memory mass device

Abstract

We study the application of one nanoring driven by a laser field in different states of polarization in logic circuits. In particular we show that assigning boolean values to different state of the incident laser field and to the emitted signals, we can create logic gates such as OR, XOR and AND. we also show the possibility to make logic circuits such as half-adder and full-adder using one and two nanoring respectively. Using two nanorings we made tho Toffoli gate. Finally we use the final angular momentum acquired by the eelctron to store information and hence show the possibility to use and array of nanorings as a mass device.
