Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

Nanomagnetism is a rapidly expanding area of research which appears to be able to
provide novel applications. Magnetic molecules are at the very bottom of the possible size of …

A new mechanism of the magnetoelectric effect based on the spin supercurrent is
theoretically presented in terms of a microscopic electronic model for noncollinear magnets …

Experimental and theoretical progress toward quantum computation with spins in quantum
dots (QDs) is reviewed, with particular focus on QDs formed in GaAs heterostructures, on …

A very exciting prospect in coordination chemistry is to manipulate spins within magnetic
complexes for the realization of quantum logic operations. An introduction to the …

Technological challenges for quantum information technologies lead us to consider aspects
of molecular magnetism in a radically new perspective. The design of new derivatives and …

As an approximation to the quantum state of solids, the band theory, developed nearly
seven decades ago, fostered the advance of modern integrated solid‐state electronics, one …

The physical implementation of quantum information processing relies on individual
modules—qubits—and operations that modify such modules either individually or in groups …

Nanomagnetism is the discipline dealing with magnetic phenomena specific to structures
having dimensions in the submicron range. This Colloquium addresses the challenges and …
