Quantum computing enables us to exceed the speed of conventional computing and a spin transistor reduces energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p>However, electron spins have yet to be used in realistic electronic devices except as part of magnetic devices for information storage. The reason is that spin polarization in a semiconductor is easily randomized, and consequently, it is difficult to transport spin polarization over a long distance.<\/p>\n<p>An electron spin itself is a quantum spin angular momentum. Electrical transport and the manipulation of spin polarization are essential technologies if electron spins are to be employed in a device.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2016\/04\/160405114221.htm\">https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2016\/04\/160405114221.htm<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost all electronic devices operate by using an electron charge controlled by electrical means.
