The future of information and computing technologies will revolve around three words: smaller, cooler, faster. Spintronics--electronics based on electron spin rather than electron charge--has received much recent attention for its potential to push this technology forward. Several recent experiments have proven that it is possible to build nanometer-scale devices that operate on a single spin; these devices would generate far less heat than conventional ones; and quantum propteries of spin are far more robust than those of charge, allowing dramatic speedups for many computational problems.

信息和计算技术的未来将围绕三个词展开：更小、更酷、更快。自旋电子学——基于电子自旋而不是电子电荷的电子学——最近因其推动这项技术发展的潜力而受到广泛关注。最近的几个实验已经证明，有可能制造出单次自旋运行的纳米级设备；这些装置产生的热量比传统装置少得多；而且自旋的量子特性远比电荷的量子特性更强大，这使得许多计算问题的速度大大提高。
