Resolution of single spin flips of a single proton

Phys Rev Lett. 2013 Apr 5;110(14):140405. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.140405. Epub 2013 Apr 4.

Abstract

The spin magnetic moment of a single proton in a cryogenic Penning trap was coupled to the particle's axial motion with a superimposed magnetic bottle. Jumps in the oscillation frequency indicate spin flips and were identified using a Bayesian analysis.
