AbstractExciton science sits at the intersection of chemical, optical and spin-based implementations of information processing, but using excitons to conduct logical operations remains relatively unexplored. Excitons encoding information could be read optically (photoexcitation–photoemission) or electrically (charge recombination–separation), travel through materials via exciton energy transfer, and interact with one another in stimuli-responsive molecular excitonic devices.

Australian researchers have taken the first steps to creating ultrafast computing devices smaller than a nanometre by studying the behaviour of perylene as a candidate molecule for excitonic logic operations. Conventional computing devices are currently made from semiconducting electronic chips and function through binary logic, where high or low voltages are used to encode information in ‘bits’ of 1 or 0.
