Scientists Synthesize ‘Bright’ Quantum Bits

Qubits are often made of the same semiconducting materials as our everyday electronics. But an interdisciplinary team of chemists and physicists has developed a new method to create tailor-made qubits: by chemically synthesizing molecules that encode quantum information into their magnetic, or “spin,” states.

This new bottom-up approach could ultimately lead to quantum systems that have extraordinary flexibility and control, helping pave the way for next-generation quantum technology. Chemical synthesis enables atomistic control over qubit structure. Molecular chemistry creates a new paradigm for quantum information science.

This is a proof-of-concept of powerful and scalable quantum technology, said the researcher. We can harness the techniques of molecular design to create new atomic-scale systems for quantum information science. Bringing these two communities together will broaden interest and has the potential to enhance quantum sensing and computation.
