WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers at Purdue University have opened a new frontier in quantum science ...

Modeling the effects of molecular handedness on electron spin challenges fundamental assumptions in physics, including Onsager reciprocity and time reversal symmetry.

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

The length scale over which the travelling electron spin keeps the memory of its initial orientation is known as the spin-diffusion length 1,2,3,4,5, which is a critical parameter for many spintronic ...

Electrons have a property called spin, which can be crudely thought of as the rotation of an electron about an axis. As an electron moves, its motion and spin can become linked through an effect known ...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, also known as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, is a powerful analytical technique used to probe the magnetic properties of paramagnetic ...

A team of German researchers has taken a significant step towards exploiting electron spin interactions to store and process information. The group, from the Max Planck Institute and the universities ...

The spin of an electron is in many ways the archetypical quantum system. If you measure the spin, it will take one of two values: spin up or spin down. It's a perfect binary, which makes it good for ...

A new discovery led by Princeton University researchers could upend our understanding of how electrons behave under extreme conditions due to the laws of quantum physics. The finding provides ...

Free electrons moving through space are fundamental and indivisible: they are not built up of smaller particles, in contrast with protons and neutrons. However, within materials, interactions among ...
