Abstract
A ballistic logic gate is disclosed. The ballistic logic gate may include an etched silicon substrate with a pair of etched silicon triangular baffles defining input channels. An electron may travel through the input channels toward a nano-deflector with a parabolic deflection surface. The parabolic deflection surface may guide electrons into a fixed path of an output channel toward an output terminal for performing a logic function.
