On the Cover

The image depicts measurements of a quantum dot's "nonlocal resistance", a measure of the spin polarization of current from the dot. The dot is set up in a focusing geometry and the effect of focusing, as a function of the applied magnetic field (horizontal axis), is shown by the increased signal in the center.
