This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is supporting Professor Michael R. Wasielewski of Northwestern University in developing molecular quantum bits (qubits) for quantum information applications. The $630,000 award, with a period of performance from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, will focus on using light to generate unpaired electron spins in molecules that can serve as qubits. The project aims to produce oriented qubit pairs that can be addressed and manipulated using microwave pulses, enabling the implementation of two-qubit quantum gates. Additionally, the project will investigate teleporting spin states between two sites using long-lived excited states of stable radicals. This research is expected to advance the field of quantum information science and provide education and training for students in this rapidly expanding domain.
