How does one make logical gates with waves?
Quite a few such things popping up recently, looks like alternative/natural computing is trending.
I wonder what the reasons for that are - Moore’s law drying up?

- ncmncm 7y agoIf you can get an event that needs a wave above a certain height to trigger, you can make a gate by having input of waves a fraction of that height that, when they constructively interfere, exceed the threshold. If your logic is based on wave interference, you may be able to get a lot of interesting behaviors even more useful than primitive logic gates.
