Using macroscopic order of spin phase uniquely formed in a chiral magnetic crystal, a novel research field named “Spin Phase Electronics” is exploited. This will provide fundamental technology for controlling and manipulating the phase of electron spins that are a source of magnetism. By utilizing quantum phenomena and functions that emerge due to macroscopic coherence of spin phase, a basic principle such as multi-bit processing and high-speed transmission of sliding soliton will be developed for a dramatic improvement of information-processing technology. As well, a route to innovate magnetic devices for information processing using chiral magnetic order will be given.
