From waste heat to quantum innovation: Advancing spintronics

The team led by Dr. Justin Bergfield, associate professor of physics, undergraduate researcher Runa Bennett, and AFRL senior research scientist Dr. Joshua Hendrickson has uncovered how quantum interference—a phenomenon where particles behave like waves and either reinforce or cancel each other—can efficiently generate a “spin-voltage” to control the flow of quantum information.
