Electronic spin-spin decoherence contribution in molecular qubits by quantum unitary spin dynamics

Abstract

The realisation of quantum computers based on molecular electronic spins requires the design of qubits with very long coherence times, T2. Dephasing can proceed over several different microscopic pathways, active at the same time and in different regimes. This makes the rationalisation of the dephasing process not straightforward. Here we present a computational methodology able to address spin decoherence processes for a general ensemble of spins. The method consists in the propagation of the unitary quantum spin dynamics on a reduced Hilbert space. Then we study the dependence of spin dephasing over the magnetic dilution for a crystal of Vanadyl-based molecular qubits. Our results show the importance of long-range electronic spin-spin interactions and their effect on the shape of the spin-echo signal.
