Researchers have demonstrated how to control the «electron spin» of a
nanodiamond while it is
levitated with lasers in a vacuum, an advance that could find applications in quantum information processing, sensors and studies into the fundamental physics of quantum mechanics.
«We've shown how to continuously flip the electron spin in a
nanodiamond levitated in a vacuum and in the presence of different gases,» said Tongcang Li, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy and electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University.
