An experimental condensed matter physicist who coauthored controlled rotations of a single electron spin in a double quantum dot. An on-chip alternating magnetic field drove electron paramagnetic resonance; short bursts produced Rabi oscillations observed through spin-dependent transport. The experiment supplied a way to manipulate a spin qubit in a gated quantum dot, rather than only prepare or measure it.[ref]
