Okay, so I was looking at some ideas of storage based on making electrons spin "up" or "down" to store binary data, and I began wondering two things:
1) How does one change the spin "orientation" (for lack of a better word) of a particle?
2) How does one detect the spin "orientation" of a...
Clarification
I'm not really that far in physics (more of an applied guy--and a high school junior), so maybe this question is obvious. Does that mean that if I were to change the spin of one particle, the other would change as well?
