spintronics
Spintronics (a portmanteau of spin transport electronics), also known as spin electronics, is the study of the intrinsic spin of the electron and its associated magnetic moment, in addition to its fundamental electronic charge, in solid-state devices. The field of spintronics concerns spin-charge coupling in metallic systems. The analogous effects in insulators fall into the field of multiferroics.

thumb|upright=0.8|Eigenenergies E_m(first three levels, m = 0, 1, 2) of the qubit Hamiltonian as a function of the effective offset charge n_g for different ratios E_J/E_c. Energies are given in units of the transition energy E_{01}, evaluated at the degeneracy point n_g = 0.5. The zero point of energy is chosen as the bottom of the m = 0 level. The charge qubit (small E_J / E_c, top) is normally operated at the n_g = 0.5 "sweet spot" where fluctuations cause less energy shift and the anharmonicity is maximal. Transmon (large E_J / E_c, bottom) energy levels are insensitive to fluctuations bu
