Untargeted metabolomics involves a large-scale comparison of the fragmentation pattern of a mass spectrum against a database containing known spectra. Given the number of comparisons involved, this step can be time-consuming. In this work, we present a GPU-accelerated cosine similarity implementation for Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS) with approximately 1000-fold speedup compared to the MatchMS reference at a rate of 0.005% incorrect matches and a rate of 0.002% incorrect scores. We describe the underlying reasons for these errors and provide means to avoid them.

We present a conceptual study on the realization of functional and easily scalable all-optical NOT,
AND and NAND logic gates using bandgap solitons in coupled photonic crystal waveguides.
The underlying structure consists of a planar air-hole type photonic crystal with a hexagonal lattice of air holes
in crystalline silicon (c-Si) as the nonlinear background material. The remaining logical operations can be performed using
combinations of these three logic gates. A unique feature of the proposed working scheme is that it operates in the true time-domain,
enabling temporal solitons to maintain a stable pulse envelope during each logical operation. Hence, multiple concatenated all-optical
logic gates can be easily realized, paving the way to multiple-input all-optical logic gates for ultrafast full-optical digital
signal processing. In the suggested setup, there is no need to amplify the output signal after each operation, which can be
directly used as a new input signal for another logical operation. The feasibility and efficiency of the proposed logic gates
as well as their scalability is demonstrated using our original rigorous theoretical formalism together with full-wave computational
electromagnetics.

Digital signal processing in coupled photonic crystal waveguides and its application to an all-optical AND logic gate
The realization of all-optical AND logic gates for pulsed signal
operation based on the photonic bandgap transmission phenomenon
is proposed. We are using realistic planar air-hole type coupled
photonic crystal waveguides (C-PCWs) with Kerr-type nonlinear
background medium. The novelty of our analysis is that the
proposed AND logic gate operates with the temporal solitons,
which maintain a stable envelope propagating in the nonlinear
C-PCWs, enabling true ultrafast full-optical digital signal
processing in the time-domain. The bandgap transmission takes
place when the operating frequency is chosen at the very edge of
the dispersion curve of one of the supermodes in the C-PCWs. In
this regard, our original fast and accurate method is used to
efficiently calculate the supermodes of the C-PCW system. The
underlying semi-analytical full-wave modal analysis is based on
the evaluation of the lattice sums for complex wavenumbers using
the transition-matrix method in combination with the generalized
reflection-matrix approach. As a proof of concept successful
pulse operation of the all-optical AND logic gate is demonstrated
in the framework of extensive full-wave finite-difference
time-domain electromagnetics analysis.
