The increasing demand for high-speed, energy-efficient computing has propelled the development of integrated photonic logic gates, which utilize the speed of light to surpass the limitations of traditional electronic circuits. These gates enable ultrafast, parallel data processing with minimal power consumption, making them ideal for next-generation computing, telecommunications, and quantum applications. Recent advancements in nanofabrication, nonlinear optics, and phase-change materials have facilitated the seamless integration of all-optical logic gates onto compact photonic chips, significantly enhancing performance and scalability. This paper explores the latest breakthroughs in photonic logic gate design, key material innovations, and their transformative applications. While challenges such as fabrication precision and electronic–photonic integration remain, integrated photonic logic gates hold immense promise for revolutionizing optical computing, artificial intelligence, and secure communication.
