Using the nascent concept of quantum spin-transfer torque [A. Zholud et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 119}, 257201 (2017); M. D. Petrovi\'{c} {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. X {\bf 11}, 021062 (2021)], we demonstrate that a current pulse can be…

Spin waves can transport both energy and angular momentum over long distances as they propagate. However, due to damping, their amplitude decreases exponentially as they move away from the source, leaving little capability for manipulating…
