Abstract
Localized spin states in conventional superconductors at low temperatures are expected to have a long decoherence time due to the strong suppression of spin relaxation channels. We propose a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiment allowing the direct measurement of the decoherence time of a single spin in a conventional superconductor. The experimental setup can be readily applied to general-purpose spin-polarized STM and to local spin relaxation spectroscopy. A possible extension of the setup to a quantum information processing scheme is discussed.
