Quantum technology

Electrons spin in the field

Nature volume 468, pages 1045–1046 (2010)Cite this article

Subjects

Nanowires are candidates for enabling the exchange of quantum information between light and matter. The rapid control of a single electron spin by solely electrical means brings this possibility closer. See Letter p.1084
