Abstract

In this work, we discuss the applicability of photon-coupled, photoswitchable proteins in multi-valued computing circuits. The proposed operational principle is based on photoswitchable proteins, capable of switching between more than two forms when subjected to light with well-defined frequencies. The molecules must be able to emit light with specific frequencies, determined by their forms (e.g. fluorescent photoswitchable proteins) in order to enable photo-coupling between neighboring proteins. According to our considerations such protein arrangements are potentially suitable for the realization of low power-consuming, terahertz-frequency, nanoscale, multiple-valued logic circuits.
