We discuss the transport properties of a single-level quantum dot weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads with non-collinear magnetizations. The conductance of such a device directly depends on the non-equilibrium spin on the quantum dot [1]. The dot spin undergoes an interaction induced intrinsic spin precession [2], which can suppress magnetoresistance and can lead to a negative differential conductance. Spin relaxation can be addressed by an all electrical Hanle setup [3]. While the conductance is sensitive to the time average dot spin only, the time dependent spin dynamics can be observed in the current-current correlation function.
