Single spin measurement in the solid state: a reader for a spin qubit
  We describe a paradigm for measuring a single electron spin in a solid. This is a fundamental problem in condensed matter physics. The technique can be used to read a spin qubit relatively non-invasively in either a spintronic quantum gate or a spintronic quantum memory. The spin reader can be self assembled by simple electrochemical techniques and can be integrated with a quantum gate.
