  • Abstract
    A novel logic device using coupled quantum dots is proposed. The authors show that the (N)OR/(N)AND functions can be performed simultaneously by a single electron tunnelling between the quantum dots, if electron-electron interaction is taken into account. Data input and output are performed by irradiation and absorption of photons, respectively. The device size, the operation temperature and speed are briefly discussed.
