چکیده

We characterize supramolecular magnetic structures, consisting of two weakly coupled antiferromagnetic rings, by low-temperature specific heat, susceptibility, magnetization and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements. Intra- and inter-ring interactions are modeled through a microscopic spin-Hamiltonian approach that reproduces all the experimental data quantitatively and legitimates the use of an effective two-qubit picture. Spin entanglement between the rings is experimentally demonstrated through magnetic susceptibility below 50 mK and theoretically quantified by the concurrence.

Portraying entanglement between molecular qubits with four-dimensional inelastic neutron scattering

Entanglement is a crucial resource for quantum information processing and its detection and quantification is of paramount importance in many areas of current research. Weakly coupled molecular nanomagnets provide an ideal test bed for investigating entanglement between complex spin systems. However, entanglement in these systems has only been experimentally demonstrated rather indirectly by ma...

Engineering the coupling between molecular spin qubits by coordination chemistry.

The ability to assemble weakly interacting subsystems is a prerequisite for implementing quantum information processing and generating controlled entanglement. In recent years, molecular nanomagnets have been proposed as suitable candidates for qubit encoding and manipulation. In particular, antiferromagnetic Cr7Ni rings behave as effective spin-1/2 systems at low temperature and show long deco...

Heterometallic rings made from chromium stick together easily.

The idea that coordination complexes could be used in quantum information processing (QIP) was introduced by Leuenberger and Loss, and later developed by them and others. Our contribution has been to look at the S= =2 ground state {Cr7Ni} anti-ferromagnetically coupled rings, [4,5] including measuring spin coherence times. For QIP to work there is a need to link such rings into more sophisticat...
