Provided is a logical operation element that performs three or more input logical operations using a single unique device. The logical operation element (30) is provided with an electrode (5A) and another electrode (5B) that are arranged so as to have a nanogap, a metal nanoparticle (7) that is insulated and arranged between the electrode (5A) and the other electrode (5B), and a plurality of gate electrodes (5C, 5D, 11, 11A, 11B) for regulating the electrical load of the metal nanoparticle (7). Electrical current that flows between the electrode (5A) and the other electrode (5B) is controlled in accordance with voltage that is applied to three or more of the gate electrodes (5C, 5D, 11, 11A, 11B). |
