There has been a resurgence of interest in optical computing since the early 2010s, both in
academia and in industry, with much of the excitement centred around special-purpose …

Magnonics addresses the dynamic excitations of a magnetically ordered material. These
excitations, referred to as spin waves and their quanta, magnons, are a powerful tool for …

Complex-valued neural networks have many advantages over their real-valued
counterparts. Conventional digital electronic computing platforms are incapable of executing …

Carbon dots are luminescent carbonaceous nanoparticles that can be endowed with chiral
properties, making them particularly interesting for biomedical applications due to their low …

Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) offer long carrier-diffusion lengths, high
absorption coefficients, tunable band gaps and long spin lifetimes. The flexible crystal …

Recently, there has been significant interest in the use of chiral metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs) and coordination polymers (CPs) for photonics applications. The promise of these …

Manipulating topological invariants is possible by modifying the global properties of optical
devices to alter their band structures. This could be achieved by statically altering devices or …

Electronic processors are reaching the physical speed ceiling that heralds the era of optical
processors. Multifunctional all-optical logic gates (AOLGs) of massively parallel processing …

For many years, optics has been employed in computing, although the major focus has been
and remains to be on connecting parts of computers, for communications, or more …

The explosive demand for a wide range of data processing has sparked interest towards a
new logic gate platform as the existing electronic logic gates face limitations in accurate and …
