General aspects of thermoelectric effects in spin valves consisting of two magnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic spacing layer are considered, with the main focus on the spin Seebeck effects. The Seebeck and spin Seebeck effects are considered in both current-in-plane and current-perpendicular-to-plane geometries. The corresponding thermopower and spin thermopower in the macroscopic limit of electronic transport are also considered. Physical origin of the spin effects is discussed in detail.
We propose a new approach to producing the qubits in electron ballistic transport in low-dimensional structures such as double quantum wells or double quantum wires. Next, we examine the possibility to produce quantum entanglement in the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model and shown that at least in principle, the entanglement can be achieved due to series of "revivals" and "collapses" in the population inversion due to the interaction of a quantized single-mode EM-field with a two-level system.
