Hi

I’ve seen quite a few articles on spin gap compounds as they relate to quantum computing.  
What is meant by a spin gap compound and what bearing does it have on quantum superposition?  
What bearing does it have on magnetism as it applies to superconductivity?  
I look forward to your feedback.
