Project description

The practical implementation of coherent molecule-based spin qubits for challenging technological applications, such as quantum information processing or quantum sensing, would require precise organization inside a potential device. The aim of this project is to design chemical routes towards atomically precise 2D and 3D arrays of qubits via a controlled organization of chiral molecule-based spin qubits. The precise organization of molecular magnetic components into extended frameworks could allow development of design principles for spin coherence lifetime control and scale from proof-of-concept molecules to device-scale systems for quantum computing. The implementation of symmetry constrictions, such as the lack of an inversion centre in chiral magnetic molecules, could offer the possibility to operate such arrays using unpolarised light and/or electric rather than magnetic fields, thus, promising tailored materials for faster, more compact and energy efficient circuits.
