To design molecular spin qubits with enhanced quantum coherence, a control of the coupling between the local vibrations and the spin states is crucial, which could be realized in principle by engineering molecular structures via coordination chemistry. To this end, understanding the underlying structural factors that govern the spin relaxation is a central topic. Here, we report the investigation of the spin dynamics in a series of chemically-designed europium(II)-based endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs). By introducing a unique structural difference, i.e. metal-cage binding site, while keeping other molecular parameters constant between different complexes, these manifest the key role of the three low energy metal-based vibrations in mediating the spin-lattice relaxation times (T1). The temperature dependence of T1 can thus be normalized by the frequencies of these low energy vibrations to show an unprecedentedly universal behavior for EMFs in frozen CS2 solution. Our theoretical analysis indicates that this structural difference determines not only the vibrational rigidity but also spin-vibration coupling in these EMF-based qubit candidates.

A general expression is derived for the dipolar NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ of a system exhibiting Brownian dynamics in a discrete and finite configuration space. It is shown that this approach can be particularly useful to model the proton relaxation rate in molecular rotors.

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors, because the authors have made abundant revisions and resubmitted the modified new version entitled Laser-induced atomic fragment fluorescence spectroscopy: A facile technique for molecular spectroscopy of spin-forbidden states to arXiv:0812.4554. Thanks for your attention.
The coupling between electronic spins and lattice vibrations is fundamental for driving relaxation in magnetic materials. The debate over the nature of spin-phonon coupling dates back to the 40s, but the role of spin-spin, spin-orbit and hyperfine in teractions, has never been fully established. Here we present a comprehensive study of the spin dynamics of a crystal of Vanadyl-based molecular qubits by means of first-order perturbation theory and first-principles calculations. We quantitatively determine the role of the Zeeman, hyperfine and electronic spin dipolar interactions in the direct mechanism of spin relaxation. We show that, in a high magnetic field regime, the modulation of the Zeeman Hamiltonian by the intra-molecular components of the acoustic phonons dominates the relaxation mechanism. In low fields, hyperfine coupling takes over, with the role of spin-spin dipolar interaction remaining the less important for the spin relaxation.
A mixed quantum-classical approach to simulate the coupled dynamics of electrons and nuclei in nanoscale molecular systems is presented. The method relies on a second order expansion of the Lagrangian in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDF T) around a suitable reference density. We show that the inclusion of the second order term renders the method a self-consistent scheme and improves the calculated optical spectra of molecules by a proper treatment of the coupled response. In the application to ion-fullerene collisions, the inclusion of self-consistency is found to be crucial for a correct description of the charge transfer between projectile and target. For a model of the photoreceptor in retinal proteins, nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations are performed and reveal problems of TDDFT in the prediction of intra-molecular charge transfer excitations.

Superconducting qubits are an attractive platform for quantum computing since they have demonstrated high-fidelity quantum gates and extensibility to modest system sizes. Nonetheless, an outstanding challenge is stabilizing their energy-relaxation ti mes, which can fluctuate unpredictably in frequency and time. Here, we use qubits as spectral and temporal probes of individual two-level-system defects to provide direct evidence that they are responsible for the largest fluctuations. This research lays the foundation for stabilizing qubit performance through calibration, design, and fabrication.
