  We apply the recently proposed quantum spectral curve technique to the study
of twist operators in planar N=4 SYM theory. We focus on the small spin
expansion of anomalous dimensions in the sl(2) sector and compute its first two
orders exactly for any value of the 't Hooft coupling. At leading order in the
spin S we reproduced Basso's slope function. The next term of order S^2
structurally resembles the Beisert-Eden-Staudacher dressing phase and takes
into account wrapping contributions. This expansion contains rich information
about the spectrum of local operators at strong coupling. In particular, we
found a new coefficient in the strong coupling expansion of the Konishi
operator dimension and confirmed several previously known terms. We also
obtained several new orders of the strong coupling expansion of the BFKL
pomeron intercept. As a by-product we formulated a prescription for the correct
analytical continuation in S which opens a way for deriving the BFKL regime of
twist two anomalous dimensions from AdS/CFT integrability.
