The spin degree of freedom of an electron or a nucleus is one of the most basic properties of
nature and functions as an excellent qubit, as it provides a natural two-level system that is …

BACKGROUND The past two decades have seen intense efforts aimed at building quantum
computing hardware with the potential to solve problems that are intractable on classical …

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are a family of one-dimensional (1D) materials with a
graphitic lattice structure. GNRs possess high mobility and current-carrying capability …

For the past three decades nanoscience has widely affected many areas in physics,
chemistry and engineering, and has led to numerous fundamental discoveries, as well as …
