Since Shor's algorithm breaks RSA cryptography, it makes sense to look for post-quantum cryptosystems: cryptosystems that can be carried out with classical computers today, but which will remain secure even if and when quantum computers are built.

Can we design, build and operate atomic-scale logic circuits that perform conventional binary computation using only the spin degree of freedom?

Since the invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM) by Binnig, Quate and Gerber in 1986, force-based scanning probes have become an essential tool for imaging, manipulating and measuring materials on the nanometer scale. At the heart of the AFM is a mechanical sensor or cantilever that transduces the force generated between the probe tip and the sample into a displacement.
