Abstract

In this work we propose a novel device for controlling the flow of information using Weyl fermions. Based on a previous work of our group, we show that it is possible to fully control the flow of Weyl fermions on several different channels, by applying an electric field perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particles on each channel. In this way, we can transmit information as logical bits, depending on the existence or not of a Weyl current on each channel. We also show that the response time of this device is exceptionally low, less than 1 ps, for typical values of its parameters, allowing the control of the flow of information at extremely high rates, of the order of 100 Petabits per second. Alternatively, this device could also operate as an electric field sensor. In addition, we demonstrate that Weyl fermions can be efficiently guided through the proposed device using appropriate magnetic fields. Finally, we discuss some particularly interesting remarks regarding the electromagnetic interactions of high energy particles.
