Spinutbytes
Spinutbytes are a unit of information used in spin-based computing concepts and certain speculative quantum memory architectures. A spinutbyte represents a fixed amount of information encoded in the spin state of particles, and is intended to be comparable in magnitude to a classical byte. Unlike a conventional byte, which is defined by eight bits in a static electrical medium, a spinutbyte is defined by a controlled configuration of quantum spin states subject to specific encoding rules. The exact mapping to bits depends on the encoding scheme employed.
The term combines spin, referring to the intrinsic angular momentum used in spintronics and quantum information,
Technology and encoding: Spinutbytes rely on spintronic or quantum memory concepts, encoding binary information in the
Applications and status: The concept is primarily theoretical or in early-stage experiments. Researchers explore spinutbytes as
