Digital information technology has great impact on our lives that has strongly motivated scientists to look for faster and more energy-efficient ways to process streams of digital signals. Recently, electrical engineers has proposed using not just electricity but also light to send the signals even inside semiconductor chips, and condensed matter physicists are studying ways of exploiting the spin instead of the charge of electrons for electronic devices.
