When electrons are transported through a semiconductor quantum dot, they interact with nuclear spin in the host material. This interaction—often considered to be a nuisance—is now shown to provide a feedback mechanism that actively pulls the electron-spin Larmor frequency into resonance with that of an external microwave driving field.
