Abstract

An ultrafast paralell data processor is described in which amplitude mode excitations of a charge density wave (CDW) are used to encode data on the surface of a 1-T TaS_2 crystal. The data are written, manipulated and read using parallel femtosecond laser pulse beams, and the operation of a database search algorithm is demonstrated on a 2-element array.
