Low temperature decoherence dynamics in molecular spin systems using the Lindblad master equation
arXiv:2408.08768 · doi:10.1039/D4SC05627B
Abstract
Understanding the spin dynamics in low-temperature settings is crucial to designing and optimizing molecular spin systems for use in emerging quantum technologies. At low temperatures, irreversible loss occurs due to ensemble dynamics facilitated by electronic-nuclear spin interactions. We develop a combined open quantum systems and electronic structure theory capable of predicting trends in relaxation rates in molecular spin ensembles. We use the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation and explicitly include electronic structure information in the decoherence channels. We apply this theory to several molecular systems pertinent to contemporary quantum technologies. Our theory provides a framework to describe irreversible relaxation effects in molecular spin systems with applications in quantum information science, quantum sensing, molecular spintronics, and other spin systems dominated by spin-spin relaxation.
