Chemical tuning of quantum spin–electric coupling in molecular magnets - Nature Chemistry Molecular magnets may serve as engineerable spin qubit candidates for quantum information science; however, the magnetic fields often used for control can be challenging to confine. Now, it has been s...

🧪 Can we design molecules bearing quantum spins that we can control using electric fields? This would give us interesting opportunities in architecting molecular quantum technologies. Read about our recent progress:

🧪 Theory is one thing, experiment is quite another! We have taken the first steps in implementing an error-correctable quantum memory on a hyperfine-coupled qudit. Read about our experiment demonstrating the encoding and exploring its dynamics: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

Surely there's a case for condensed matter physics (CMP). Evidence for this? Periods of human history are labelled colloquially by the dominant CMP technology of the time: stone age, bronze age, iron age etc. Are we now living through the silicon age in BlueSky?

Hi Manu,
As a condensed matter experimentalist, I'd love to join the BlueSky science community!

All-Electrical Driving and Probing of Dressed States in a Single Spin The subnanometer distance between tip and sample in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) enables the application of very large electric fields with a strength as high as ∼1 GV/m. This has allowed for...

Another important step towards quantum technologies based on atomic spins on surfaces from colleagues at IBS QNS: the very high electric fields available in the STM allow for strong driving of ESR transitions, giving rise to the creation and control of dressed states. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Fault-tolerant qubit encoding using a spin-7/2 qudit The authors propose a quantum memory, implemented on a spin-7/2 nucleus coupled to an electron spin-1/2 qubit, which provides $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ error correction using fewer quantum resources than the ...

High spin nuclei hyperfine coupled to electron spin qubits offer a valuable quantum resource. For example, we can use them to implement quantum error correction algorithms more efficiently than qubit-based codes of equivalent effectiveness: journals.aps.org/pra/abstract...
