Logic Gates with Bright Dissipative Polariton Solitons in Bragg-Cavity Systems

Abstract: Optical solitons are an ideal platform for the implementation of communication lines, since they can be packed extremely close one to another without risking partial loss of the encoded information due to their interaction. On the other hand, soliton-soliton interactions are needed to implement computations and achieve all-optical information processing. Here we study how bright dissipative polariton solitons interact and exploit their interaction to implement AND and OR gates with state of the art technology. Moreover, we show that soliton-soliton interaction can be used to determine the sign of {\alpha}2, the parameter describing the interaction between polaritons with opposite spin.
