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.

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
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
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
