The 2010 Poynting Lecture

This talk reviews reviews recent experimental progress on using the electron spin as a holder of coherent quantum information, and the challenges of performing elementary operations on individual spins. Materials systems to be compared are GaAs and carbon nanotubes. The role of nuclear spin as the dominant source of loss of coherence will be emphasized.

Charlie Marcus is Professor of Physics at Harvard and one of the world leading experimental physicists working on quantum condensed matter physics.
