attaching a molecular quantum bit to a real surface. First, we demonstrate that an organic
derivative of the pyrene–Blatter radical is a potential molecular quantum bit. Our study of the
interface of the pyrene–Blatter radical with a copper-based surface reveals that the spin of
the interface layer is not canceled by the interaction with the surface and that the Blatter
radical is resistant in presence of molecular water. Although the measured pyrene–Blatter …
