Over the last four decades, the size of a bit, the smallest logical unit in a computer, has decreased by more than two orders of magnitude and will soon reach a limit where quantum phenomena become important. Inspired by the power of quantum mechanics, researchers have already identified pure quantum systems, having, analog to a classical bit, two controllable and readable states. In this regard, the inherent spin of electrons or nuclei with its two eigenstates, spin up and spin down, is a promising candidate. Using expertise in the field of single-molecule magnets, the author developed a molecular transistor, which allows quantum information to be written onto a single nuclear spin by means of an electric field only, and, in addition, enables the electronic read-out of this quantum state. This novel approach opens a path to addressing and manipulating individual nuclear spins within a very confined space (a single molecule), at high speed. Thus, the author was able to show that single molecule magnets are promising candidates for quantum information processing, which is triggering a new field of research towards molecular quantum electronics.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Quantum computersSpintronicsBiophysicsBiophysicsNuclear physicsHeavy ionsMagnetismMagnetic materialsQuantum Information Technology, Spintronicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Nuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadronshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010Magnetism, Magnetic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25129Quantum computers.Spintronics.Biophysics.Biophysics.Nuclear physics.Heavy ions.Magnetism.Magnetic materials.Quantum Information Technology, Spintronics.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.Nuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons.Magnetism, Magnetic Materials.530Thiele Stefanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut516170MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254605903321Read-Out and Coherent Manipulation of an Isolated Nuclear Spin2513913UNINA
