    Abstract: In the examples provided herein, an optical logic gate includes multiple couplers, where no more than two types of couplers are used in the optical logic gate, and further wherein the two types of couplers consist of: a 3-dB coupler and a weak coupler with a given transmission-to-reflection ratio. The optical logic gate also includes a first resonator, wherein the first resonator comprises a photonic crystal resonator or a nonlinear ring resonator, wherein in operation, the first resonator has a dedicated continuous wave input to bias a complex amplitude of a total field input to the first resonator such that the total field input is either above or below a nonlinear switching threshold of the first resonator, where the optical logic gate is an integrated photonic circuit.

    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus includes a bus waveguide, a plurality of optical gates coupled to the bus waveguide and an injection coupler. The bus waveguide receives a plurality of constraint signals. Each optical gate outputs an internal state via a local phase shift when at least one of the plurality of constraint signals has a wavelength that matches a respective resonant wavelength. The injection coupler combines the at least one of the plurality of constraint signals with additional constraint signals that are injected. An error is detected in a bit of a message when an overall phase shift has occurred to the at least one of the plurality of constraint signals causing a power level to exceed a power level threshold of an optical gate when the at least one of the plurality of constraint signals constructively interferes with the additional constraint signals that are injected.
