It’s time to do a series on logic including things such as programmable logic, state machines, and the lesser known demons such as switching hazards. It is best to start at the beginning &#82… ...

We recently demonstrated a complete family of basic logic functions, that is, AND, OR and NOT gates, in simple photonic networks composed of interconnected silver nanowires25.

To learn how gates work in a circuit, see Boolean logic. Transistors in Series In this AND example, both inputs have no pulses of electricity (both are 0).
