Solitonic Gateless Computing
Abstract
A number of logic functions and mathematical operations were implemented in the laboratory based on soliton collisions in photo- refractive media. In addition to the usual NAND and AND logic gates, soliton collisions do transfer information and two successive collisions can be made to mimic a unitary matrix or its inverse. This program dictated and led developments in the field of soliton science and its applications. Its scientific impact was immense. It can be quantified in terms of the publications and presentations that flowed from it. Specifically, 98 of the total of 230 published papers in refereed journals were in the high impact factor letters journals Science, Nature, Physical Review Letters, Optics Letters, Optics Express and Applied Physics Letters. Finally there were 98 invited papers at international conferences, of which 4 were plenary. In addition there were 187 contributed conference presentations.
