Summary
With support from the Chemical Synthesis Program in the Chemistry Section, Professor Daniel N. Huh of the University of Rhode Island will develop a new class of molecule-based quantum compounds, known as molecular qubits, using group 4 metals (titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and hafnium (Hf)) and rare-earth elements to advance quantum information science. By controlling the electronic structure of these metals, this project seeks to understand and mitigate electron spin decoherence in molecular inorganic complexes. Over the project period, systematic variations in metal identity and ligand envi
