We propose mechanisms for the spin Hall effect in metallic systems arising from the coupling between conduction electrons and local magnetic moments that are dynamically fluctuating. Both a side-jump-type mechanism and a…
We investigate a spin-full double quantum dot (DQD) coupled to the leads in a pseudospin valve configuration. The interplay of interaction and interference produces in the stability diagram a rich variety of resonances, modulated by the…

Two-level systems (TLS) are the major source of dephasing of spin qubits in numerous quantum computing platforms. In spite of much effort, it has been difficult to substantially mitigate the effects of this noise or, in many cases, to fully…

At temperatures below the magnetic anisotropy energy, monodomain magnetic systems (small particles, nanomagnetic devices, etc.) must relax quantum mechanically. This quantum relaxation must be mediated by the coupling to both nuclear spins…
