Loss helped turn the spin of a confined electron into a detailed proposal for a quantum-computing building block. The shared Loss–DiVincenzo architecture specifies how spins could store information and interact to perform gates, while later work examines the obstacles between that proposal and an operating machine. His Basel research and participation in NCCR SPIN connect the theoretical program to a broader semiconductor-qubit effort. Inclusion recognizes an architectural contribution and sustained research activity, without assigning him every subsequent experimental result in the field.
