- Abstract: The wave spin of an electron can be fully characterized by the current
density calculated from the exact four-spinor solution of the Dirac equation.
In the excited states of the electron in a magnetic field-free quantum well,
the current density has a multiple vortex topology. The interaction of the
current with a magnetic potential produces a finer structure of anomalous
Zeeman splitting. When the magnetic potential is comparable to the size of the
individual vortices, fractional or zero spin effects can be observed.

Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance.
We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system.
Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
