Molecular QuBits

Spin - Phonon Interactions and Dynamics

The investigation of the magnetization dynamics of a vanadyl complex in both solid-state and frozen solution, showed an anomalous and unprecedentedly observed field dependence of the relaxation time. The temperature dependence of the weight of the processes was found to well correlate with the low energy vibrations as determined by THz spectroscopy. This detailed experimental comparative study represents a fundamental step to understand the spin dynamics of potential molecular quantum bits, and enriches the guidelines to design molecule-based systems with enhanced quantum coherence.
