Projektinformationen

The project wants to establish a sound basis for a truly scalable solid-state quantum computer based on molecular spin qubits in paramagnetic endohedral fullerenes (PEF)that are optically read out via pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) of shallow nitrogen vacancy centres (NVC) in diamond. A fundamental demonstration of the atomic scale engineering principles and the read-out scheme is targeted for the first application period (three years), while a small demonstrator device with approximately five coherently manipulated qubits is aimed at for the entire project period (six years). Work in the first application period will be focused on passing three milestones representing achievements necessary for the construction of the demonstrator device: Positioning PEF atop NVC, demonstrating spin-spin coupling of the PEF with the NVC and the evaluation of the coherence time in the spin systems by ODMR that will critically determine the Scalability limits of the read-out concept.
