We describe spin-transparent storage rings that exhibit coherence times of many hours and store a large number of particles and their use in novel applications. For example, these rings can be used to directly measure the electric dipole moment of the electron, relevant to CP violation and matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, and to search for axion-mediated forces. These rings can also serve as a compelling platform for quantum computing. In particular, we will describe how spin-transparent rings can be used in conjunction with ion traps to enhance scalability and increase quantum-coherence times of ion quantum computing.
