TLDR

This introductory review discusses the main problems facing the attempt to build quantum information processing systems (like quantum computers) from spin-based qubits. We emphasize ‘bottom-up’ attempts using methods from chemistry. The essentials of quantum computing are explained, along with a description of the qubits and their interactions in terms of physical spin qubits. The main problem to be overcome in this whole field is decoherence—it must be considered in any design for qubits. We give an overview of how decoherence works, and then describe some of the practical ways to suppress contributions to decoherence from spin bath and oscillator bath environments, and from dipolar interactions. Dipolar interactions create special problems of their own because of their long range. Finally, taking into account the problems raised by decoherence, by dipolar interactions, and by architectural constraints, we discuss various strategies for making chemistry-based spin qubits, using both magnetic molecules and magnetic ions.read more

Strong exchange and magnetic blocking in N₂³⁻-radical-bridged lanthanide complexes.
TL;DR: It is shown that the diffuse spin of an N(2)(3-) radical bridge can lead to exceptionally strong magnetic exchange in dinuclear Ln(III) (Ln = Gd, Dy) complexes, exhibiting the strongest magnetic coupling yet observed for that ion.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
TL;DR: Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

TL;DR: In this article, a functional-integral approach to the dynamics of a two-state system coupled to a dissipative environment is presented, and an exact and general prescription for the reduction, under appropriate circumstances, of the problem of a system tunneling between two wells in the presence of dissipative environments to the spin-boson problem is given.
