Are you looking for a noun meaning a person with a long attention span, (most if not all candidates will probably be metaphoric / idiomatic / colloquial), or an adjective describing such a person (colloquial, or some domain-specific term that might be used by psychologists, for example)?

Up-voted, if you are, indeed, looking for a single word (noun) description. A 'focused' person, would describe them, but I am at a loss to think of a single noun.

Consider single-mindedness:
the quality of being very determined and thinking only about achieving a particular thing:
His quiet single-mindedness allowed him to accomplish something that others had been trying to do for years.
- They demonstrated a remarkable single-mindedness in pursuing their goals.

In the sense that light can be focused on something or used to narrow the field of view (spotlight). The word "concentrate" comes closest to the meaning you pose - verb (to concentrate), noun (concentration), adj/adv (concentrated/ly).
You call them a person who can concentrate on a thing...
