Over the past several decades, quantum information science has emerged to seek answers
to the question: can we gain some advantage by storing, transmitting and processing …

Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes
on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field …

A general strategy to maintain the coherence of a quantum bit is proposed. The analytical
result is derived rigorously including all memory and backaction effects. It is based on an …

Using X-band pulsed electron-spin resonance, we report the intrinsic spin-lattice (T 1) and
phase-coherence (T 2) relaxation times in molecular nanomagnets for the first time. In Cr 7 …

Isolated electronic and nuclear spins in solids are at present being actively explored for
potential quantum-computing applications. Spin degrees of freedom provide an excellent …

To exploit the quantum coherence of electron spins in solids in future technologies such as
quantum computing,, it is first vital to overcome the problem of spin decoherence due to their …

Robust measurement of single quantum bits plays a key role in the realization of quantum
computation and communication as well as in quantum metrology and sensing. We have …

The transfer of information between different physical forms—for example processing
entities and memory—is a central theme in communication and computation. This is crucial …

The term 'molecular magnet'generally refers to a molecular entity containing several
magnetic ions whose coupled spins generate a collective spin, S (ref.). Such complex multi …

Quantum computers, which process information encoded in quantum mechanical systems,
hold the potential to solve some of the hardest computational problems. A substantial …
