Photochemical Logic Gate - Creating The NOT Gate

Creating The NOT Gate

To stop the electron transfer chain completing, producing output signals, the input of a photon, h, is used to produce a ‘pump probe spectroscopy’ effect by promoting an electron in an electron transfer chain. The fall of the pump probe promoted electron produces an output that is quenched down an electron transfer chain.

An alternative is similar to the AND gate alternative; an input causes a change in molecule structure breaking the electron transfer chain by not allowing the smooth energy transfer of electrons.

Famous quotes containing the words creating and/or gate:

    It is useless to contend with the irresistible power of Time, which goes on continually creating by a process of constant destruction.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)

    What heaven-entreated heart is this
    Stands trembling at the gate of bliss;
    Holds fast the door, yet dares not venture
    Fairly to open it and enter?
    Whose definition is a doubt
    ‘Twixt life and death, ‘twixt in and out?
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
