EPR as a probe for the mechanisms of chirality-induced spin selectivity in photoinduced charge transfer

Arianna Cantarella, D. K. Andrea Phan Huu, Paolo Santini +3

Several models for chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) in charge transfer have been proposed, but rarely compared directly with experiments. This step is essential for their…

Beyond Pure Dephasing: Quantum Error Correction in Single Molecules Requires Multiple Spins

Matteo Mezzadri, Silvia Macedonio, Luca Lepori +6

We propose multi-spin molecules as a viable architecture for fault-tolerant quantum computing. To this aim, we introduce a correction protocol handling both diagonal and off-diagon…

Vibrationally-mediated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction as the origin of Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity in donor-acceptor molecules

Alessandro Chiesa, D. K. Andrea Phan Huu, Arianna Cantarella +4

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) was recently observed in photo-excited donor-chiral bridge-acceptor molecules, but a predictive theory able to explain available experimen…

Molecular spin qudits to test generalized Bell inequalities

S. Macedonio, L. Lepori, A. Chiesa +10

We show that Yb(trensal) molecular nanomagnet, embedding an electronic spin qubit coupled to a nuclear spin qudit, provides an ideal platform to probe entanglement in a qubit-qudit…

Dephasing-tolerant quantum sensing for transverse magnetic fields with spin qudits

Matteo Mezzadri, Luca Lepori, Alessandro Chiesa +1

We propose a dephasing-tolerant protocol for quantum sensing of transverse magnetic fields which exploits spin qudit sensors with embedded fault-tolerant (FT) quantum error correct…

Room-temperature optical spin polarization of an electron spin qudit in a vanadyl -- free base porphyrin dimer

Alberto Privitera, Alessandro Chiesa, Fabio Santanni +8

Photoexcited organic chromophores appended to molecular qubits can serve as a source of spin initialization or multi-level qudit generation for quantum information applications. So…

Many-Body Models for Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity in Electron Transfer

A. Chiesa, E. Garlatti, M. Mezzadri +6

We present the first microscopic model for chirality-induced spin selectivity effect in electron-transfer, in which the internal degrees of freedom of the chiral bridge are explici…

Quantum Information Processing with Molecular Nanomagnets: an introduction

Alessandro Chiesa, Emilio Macaluso, Stefano Carretta

Many problems intractable on classical devices could be solved by algorithms explicitly based on quantum mechanical laws, i.e. exploiting quantum information processing. As a resul…

Direct Observation of Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity in Electron Donor-Acceptor Molecules

Hannah J. Eckvahl, Nikolai A. Tcyrulnikov, Alessandro Chiesa +5

The role of chirality in determining the spin dynamics of photoinduced electron transfer in donor-acceptor molecules remains an open question. Although chirality-induced spin selec…

Controlled coherent dynamics of [VO(TPP)], a prototype molecular nuclear qudit with an electronic ancilla

Simone Chicco, Alessandro Chiesa, Giuseppe Allodi +6

We show that [VO(TPP)] (vanadyl tetraphenylporphyrinate) is a promising system suitable to implement quantum computation algorithms based on encoding information in multi-level (qu…
