Figure 1

Picture and exploded-view of an array of three acoustic waveguides coupled with epoxy resin and schematic illustration of the experimental system for generating and detecting logical phi-bits. Three separate signal generators and amplifiers are used to drive piezoelectric transducers. Driving and detecting transducers are attached to the opposite ends of the rod-like acoustic waveguides by the pressure of three independent rubber bands. A thin layer of honey is used as ultrasonic coupling agent between the transducers and the rod ends. The signals generated by the detecting transducers enter an oscilloscope via independent input channels for analysis. The array of waveguides is suspended by thin threads for isolation.
