Molecule-in-a-crystal system could boost quantum computing via chemically engineered qubits

Phys · · 626 words · By Sam Jarman

Researchers at NVision Imaging Technologies have developed a method to embed synthetic carbene molecules within a crystal to create a more controllable qubit-photon interface. The study, posted to arXiv, demonstrates that these molecular qubits offer stable light emission and coherent spin control, potentially aiding the development of quantum computing networks.
