Could better spin injection lead to a quantum information device?

One of the more promising types of materials for use in spintronics today is the class of metal alloys known as Heusler alloys. These alloys are named after a German engineer, and might be useful in technology in which electron quantum spin states are used to enhance electronic devices. Additionally, Heusler alloys may have an effect in quantum memory processing and telecommunications.
