Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The unique combination of atomic-scale tunability, reproducibility, and chemical specificity make paramagnetic molecules a paradigm-shifting category of materials for quantum information science.
This capability has the potential to be transformative for developing a bespoke quantum ecosystem, as, for example, the requirements for a node within a quantum communications network are distinct and potentially orthogonal to those for a quantum sensor.
Our team imbued molecular qubits with the same read-out approach as defect-based systems. To achieve this, we envisioned an inverse design problem whereby we mimicked the electronic structure with an orthogonal physical structure. Using transition metal chemistry, we designed the ground state, excited states and dynamics based on straightforward ligand field analysis. By coupling optical read-out with spatial precision, we seamlessly integrated a new class of materials with existing read-out technology.
