In a just in Physical Review Letters published article we report on the first detection of single spin-flips of a single proton. We use Bayesian analysis methods and obtain spin state detection fidelities close to 100%. This is a major step towards the application of the so-called double Penning-trap method to measure magnetic moments of both the proton and the antiproton with ppb precision.
