Abstract Quantum computation provides great speedup over its classical counterpart for certain tasks. Spin system is one of the most important candidates to realize quantum computations. The initialization, readout and quantum gate operations of spin-qubits can be accomplished by advanced spin resonance techniques, which include nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance and optically detected magnetic resonance. This review aims to summarize recent experimental progresses in spin-based quantum computing. Preserving quantum states, precise quantum operations, quantum algorithms and quantum simulations on spin systems are reviewed. The fast improvement of quantum technology motivated by quantum computations results in recent progress in spin magnetic resonance in nanoscale. This review also introduces the achievements in nanoscale magnetic resonance with Nitrogen vacancy centers in diamonds. Graphical Abstract
