Probing the f→d transition in lanthanide ions for qubit switching

Metal centres with single unpaired electrons have great potential as qubit systems; the two spin-states of the electron (up and down) can be mapped onto classical bits 0 and 1, with additional superpositions of the states allowing for increased computational speed following Quantum Information Processing (QIP) algorithms compared to classical computer systems.
