title: A parallel electromagnetic molecular logic gate.
abstract: A theoretical study of transport through a three-terminal molecular ring in the presence of a magnetic field is presented. The physical principles necessary to achieve logic operations based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect are discussed. We show that a proper combination of a gate potential and a realistic magnetic field can be used to obtain parallel logic operations such as AND and AND+NOT.
