Talk title: Quantum Computing with Molecules
Abstract:
Metal complexes will be proposed to acting as active quantum units for Quantum Computing (QC). We report on the implementation of metal complexes into nanometre-sized (single-)molecular spintronic devices by a combination of isotopologue chemistry, bottom-up self-assembly and top-down lithography techniques. The control of the Hilbert space of the molecular quantum magnets on conducting surfaces/electrodes will be shown and persistence of magnetic properties under confinement in Supramolecular Quantum Devices (SMQD) will be proven. The quantum behaviour (e.g.. superposition) of the metal complexes will be addressed at the single molecule level1-13 to finally implement a quantum algorithm on a TbPc2-Qudit performing quantum computing operations.10 Moreover, we will show that that the components of SMQDs as the Quantum Magnet14 and the graphene sheets15 can be made from CO2 guaranteeing a negative Carbon footprint and sustainability of the molecular approach towards QC.
