Abstract
Various embodiments of a phononic system to achieve quantum-analogue phase-based unitary operations are disclosed. A plurality of diatomic molecules is adsorbed on a cubic crystal surface. At least a first pair of parallel chains is created from the plurality of diatomic molecules, such that the two constituent chains of the first pair of parallel chains each comprise three or more diatomic molecules. One or more diatomic molecules of the first pair of parallel chains are displaced in order to thereby create one or more kinks in the first pair of parallel chains. The one or more kinks apply a first desired phase transformation to elastic waves scattered by the plurality of diatomic molecules and adjusting the number of kinks or adjusting the order in which kinks are created or modified causes a corresponding adjustment to the first desired phase transformation.
