   Jim Bell's comment:
   My isotope-modified integrated circuit material
   invention [2]https://daltonium.com/     uses a very similar principle,
   putting spin-containing atomic nuclei into an electric field.  The main
   difference is, my invention does not act on individual atoms, but
   fields of atoms in a layer.
   Also, Intel was just granted a patent for an isotopically-purified way
   to build a material relatively free of nuclear spin.

   So, effectively, in patent terms, I will own the right hand of a
   duplex, while Intel will own the left hand of a duplex.

Chance discovery brings quantum computing using standard microchips a step
closer

   By [4]Adrian ChoMar. 11, 2020 , 12:35 PM
   An accidental innovation has given a dark-horse approach to quantum
   computing a boost. For decades, scientists have dreamed of using atomic
   nuclei embedded in siliconâthe familiar stuff of microchipsâas quantum
   bits, or qubits, in a superpowerful quantum computer, manipulating them
   with magnetic fields. Now, researchers in Australia have stumbled
   across a way to control such a nucleus with more-manageable electric
   fields, raising the prospect of controlling the qubits in much the same
   way as transistors in an ordinary microchip.

   âThatâs incredibly important,â says Thaddeus Ladd, a research physicist
   at HRL Laboratories LLC., a private research company. âThis could
   potentially change the game for nuclear qubits in silicon.â

   An ordinary computer flips bits from 1 to 0 and back again. A quantum
   computer employs qubits that can be set to 0, 1, or, thanks to the
   bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, 0 and 1 at the same time. This
   enables a quantum computer to crunch a huge number of inputs
   simultaneously, which is one reason why a big one should able to solve
   certain types of complex problems that would swamp any conventional
   computer. Last year, researchers with Google claimed their small
   quantum computer [5]performed an abstruse calculation that would have
   taken conventional supercomputers millennia.
