Resolving an individual one-proton spin flip to determine a proton spin state.

2013 
Previous measurements with a single trapped proton or antiproton detected spin resonance from the increased scatter of frequency measurements caused by many spin flips. Here a measured correlation confirms that individual spin transitions and states are detected instead. The high fidelity suggests that it may be possible to use quantum jump spectroscopy to measure the p and \pbar magnetic moments much more precisely.
