Once called a "classically non-describable two-valuedness" by Pauli , the electron spin is a natural resource for long-lived quantum information since it is mostly impervious to electric fluctuations and can be replicated in large arrays…

We consider a single spherical nanomagnet and investigate the spatial magnetization profile $\mathbf{m}\left(\mathbf{r}\right)$ in the continuum approach, using the Green's function formalism. The energy of the (many-spin) nanomagnet…
