In the sheet of the material graphene (the horizontal surface with the hexagonal pattern of carbon atoms) placed in a strong magnetic field, electrons can move along the edges, and are prevented from moving in the inner part of the sheet. In addition, in these languages, only the electrons with the appropriate spin will move in one direction only (the blue arrow), while the electrons with the opposite spin (the red arrow) are prevented from moving. [Courtesy of the researchers].

What is between graphene and quantum computing?
