Implementing a logic machine on a single molecule was recently discussed with experimental roadmarks. Lasers were used to control the input and sometimes also the output of information with additional processing done via inter‐ and intramolecular dynamics. We examine the special requirements for an experiment that mimics a logic circuit. We use two‐photon processes as physical examples of our considerations and discuss both combinational and sequential logic machines.
