Abstract: The parametron, a resonator-based logic device, is a promising physical platform for emerging computational paradigms. When the parametron is subject to both parametric pumping and external driving, complex phenomena arise that can be harvested for applications. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate deterministic phase switching of a parametron by applying frequency tuning pulses. To our surprise, we find different regimes of phase switching due to the interplay between a parametric pump and an external drive. We provide full modeling of our device with numerical simulations and find excellent agreement between model and measurements. Our result opens up new possibilities for fast and robust logic operations within large-scale parametron architectures.
