A special focus is put on the realization of multi-level fluorescent switches with chemical inputs as well as on the demonstration of various memory-based operations with alloptical photochromic switches.}, organization = {This work has been supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (grants CTQ2008-06777-C02-02 and CTQ2011-28390) and the Andalusian Government (Projects of Excellence P08-FQM-3685 and P12-FQM-2140). I am indebted to all co-workers and collaborators that are mentioned in the cited references. I am especially grateful to Joakim Andreasson (Chalmers University of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden) with who we maintain a very fruitful collaboration on photochromic systems since many years. Finally, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the Award Committee and the Board of the Swiss Chemical Society for the honor of receiving the Grammaticakis-Neumann Award 2013.}, publisher = {Schweizerische Chemische Gesellschaft}, title = {Molecular switches as platforms for Information processing}, doi = {10.2533/chimia.2014.505}, author = {Pischel, Uwe}, }
