All-optical design for inherently energy-conserving reversible gates and circuits

Reversible gates, like Fredkin gates, may be useful for energy conservation efforts. Cohen et al. present a formalism that may be used to produce any reversible logic. This method is implemented over an optical design of the Fredkin gate which utilizes only optical elements that inherently conserve...
