Entangling single spins in optically addressable molecular qubits

  Research Group: Quantum Optospintronics
Overview. How can we isolate, control, and entangle individual spins from the bottom up? You will develop optical interfaces to spins in chemically synthesised molecules, using laser spectroscopy and pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance to demonstrate molecular qubits with new entanglement capabilities.
