ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, systems and methods for implementing molecular quantum memory are disclosed. In one implementation, a source of polarized electrons and a source of oppositely polarized electrons may be selectively coupled to at least one probe tip of a probe assembly. The at least one probe tip may, in turn, be electrically coupled to a molecule so that information may be written to the molecule using a time-varying polarized electron current selectively derived from the polarized electron current sources.
