Manipulation of spin cluster qubits by electric-field induced modulation of exchange coupling, $g$-factor, and axial anisotropy

Abstract

Electric fields are increasingly used for coherently manipulating spin states in semiconductor and molecular systems. Here we discuss the spin manipulation allowed by the modulation of the main parameters entering the Hamiltonians of molecular spin clusters. In particular, we focus on transitions between states that differ in terms of scalar quantities, such as the total- or the partial-spin sums, but have vanishing expectation values of both the total- and the single-spin projections. These conditions supposedly define subspaces that are immune to the main decoherence mechanisms and that cannot be identified in individual spins, where the total- and the partial-spin sums are fixed or cannot be defined. We show that the desired transitions can in principle be realized in systems as simple as a spin dimer, by modulating the g-factor, the axial anisotropy, or, under suitable conditions, the exchange interaction.
