Abstract
Provided is a logical operation element that performs logical operations on three or more inputs using a single unique device. The logical operation elementis provided with an electrodeA and the other electrodeB that are provided to have a nanogap, a metal nanoparticlearranged between the electrodeA and the other electrodeB in insulated state, and a plurality of gate electrodesC,D,A,B for adjusting a charge of the metal nanoparticle. Electric current that flows between the electrodeA and the other electrodeB is controlled in accordance with the voltage applied to three or more of the gate electrodesC,D,A,B.
