Molecular Nuclear Spin Qubits for Implementing Quantum Gatesand Quantum Algorithms
Nuclear spin states in molecules will be proposed to act as quantum registers for
Quantum Computing (QC). We report on the implementation of metal complexes into
nanometre-sized spintronic/optotronic devices by a combination of bottom-up self-assembly
and top-down lithography techniques. The controlled generation of magnetic molecular
nanostructures will be shown and persistence of their magnetic properties under
confinement Molecular Quantum Devices will be proven. The Hilbert space spanned by the
nuclear spins will be engineered synthetically and addressed both electrically and optically,
partially at the single molecule level [1-13]. Finally, Grover´s quantum search algorithm will
be implemented on the nuclear spin register of a TbPc2 Qudit [10].
