Description
Many hardware platforms exist to implement qubit operations for quantum technologies, but these platforms, although conceptually elegant, do not offer a straightforward path toward consumer applications in terms of energy/resource usage (#QEI): low/very low temperatures, external magnetic fields, lasers/microwave sources, a room-full of optical/electrical/vacuum/cryogenic equipment, difficulty to entangle qubits... To address this challenge, we propose to utilize spintronics, and its industrial penetration as a green nanotechnology, to develop a new platform around the quantum spintronic qubit. Since this paradigm is onyl now emerging, this experimental topic will investigate the first foundational elements of this new paradigm, with inroads into quantum communication and energy harvesting.
