Quantum physics: A spin solo
Guido Burkard1
Abstract
Quantum computers could solve problems insurmountable to conventional computers. The missing ingredient for quantum computing with electron spins is now available — the rotation of a single spin.
How can one rotate the spin of a single electron? How can such a tiny rotation, once achieved, be detected?
- Guido Burkard is in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 82, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland.
