Spin transport phenomena in ultracold atomic gases

了解粒子的流动——比如电子的传递——对于设计和制造设备至关重要。随着电子学变得越来越小，经典物理学不再描述传输，量子力学变得重要起来。此外，下一代设备不仅利用材料的电性能，还利用磁性来形成多功能电路元件，例如计算机存储器。具有磁性的粒子流，在微观量子水平上被称为“自旋”，形成了自旋输运场。

Understanding the flow of particles – such as transport of electrons – is vital in designing and creating devices. As electronics become smaller and smaller, classical physics ceases to describe transport, and quantum mechanics becomes important. Additionally, next-generation devices make use of not just electric properties of materials, but also magnetic properties to form versatile circuit elements, such as computer memory. The flow of particles with magnetic properties, known as "spin" at the microscopic quantum level, forms the field of spin transport.
