Chemical Intuition in Spin Dynamics: from Single Spins to Correlated Magnets
Over the past several decades, quantum information science has made a number of strides towards applications in fields such as computation, metrology, communications, transduction, and sensing. Chemical intuition in the design of molecular qubits and their coherent properties opens a parallel pathway for the advancement of the next generation of quantum technologies. In this talk, we show how chemical design can delicately tune the electronic structure of spin qubits, engender electron-nuclear transduction, result in porous magnonic structures, and form exotic magnetic materials.
