Robust Isolated Quantum Spins Established on a Magnetic Substrate

Researchers successfully realized a stable, isolated quantum spin on an insulating thin film laid over a magnetic surface

August 20, 2025

Creating stable isolated spins is crucial for quantum-spin applications, like quantum bits or qubits, sensors, and single-atom catalysts. Currently, most approaches include engineering isolated spins on noble metal surfaces, whose abundant conduction electrons can also disturb their spin state. In a new study, researchers successfully demonstrated for the first time isolated spins on an insulating magnesium oxide film, laid over a ferromagnetic iron substrate, suggesting a new pathway towards realizing qubits using conventional thin-film techniques.

Establishing robust isolated spins on solid surfaces is crucial for fabricating quantum bits or qubits, sensors, and single-atom catalysts. … Read More → "Robust Isolated Quantum Spins Established on a Magnetic Substrate"
