The tunnel splitting in biaxial antiferromagnetic particles is studied with a magnetic field applied along the hard anisotropy axis. We observe the oscillation of tunnel splitting as a function of the magnetic field due to the quantum phase interference of two tunneling paths of opposite windings. The oscillation is similar to the recent experimental result with Fe}$_8$textrm{ molecular clusters.}

The antiferromagnetic molecular wheel Fe18 of eighteen exchange-coupled Fe(III) ions has been studied by measurements of the magnetic torque, the magnetization, and the inelastic neutron scattering spectra. The combined data show that the low-tempera
ture magnetism of Fe18 is very accurately described by the Neel-vector tunneling (NVT) scenario, as unfolded by semiclassical theory. In addition, the magnetic torque as a function of applied field exhibits oscillations that reflect the oscillations in the NVT tunnel splitting with field due to quantum phase interference.
Quantum corrections to charge transport can give rise to an oscillatory magnetoconductance, typically observed in mesoscopic samples with a length shorter than or comparable with the phase coherence length. Here, we report the observation of magnetoc
onductance oscillations periodic in magnetic field with an amplitude of the order of $e^2/h$ in macroscopic samples of Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG). The observed effect emerges when all carriers are confined to their lowest Landau levels. We argue that this quantum interference phenomenon can be explained by invoking moire superlattices with a discrete distribution in periodicity. According to our results, when the magnetic length $ell_B$, the Fermi wave length $lambda_F$ and the length scale of fluctuations in local chemical potential are comparable in a layered conductor, quantum corrections can be detected over centimetric length scales.
Photoemission experiments have shown that Bi$_2$Se$_3$ is a topological insulator. By controlled doping, we have obtained crystals of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ with non-metallic conduction. At low temperatures, we uncover a novel type of magnetofingerprint signal
which involves the spin degrees of freedom. Given the mm-sized crystals, the observed amplitude is 200-500$times$ larger than expected from universal conductance fluctuations. The results point to very long phase breaking lengths in an unusual conductance channel in these non-metallic samples. We discuss the nature of the in-gap conducting states and their relation to the topological surface states.
Magnetization measurements of a molecular clusters Mn12 with a spin ground state of S = 10 show resonance tunneling at avoided energy level crossings. The observed oscillations of the tunnel probability as a function of the magnetic field applied alo
ng the hard anisotropy axis are due to topological quantum phase interference of two tunnel paths of opposite windings. Mn12 is therefore the second molecular clusters presenting quantum phase interference.
High spin magnetic molecules are promising candidates for quantum information processing because they intrinsically have multiple sublevels for information storage and computational operations. However, due to their susceptibility to the environment
and limitation from the selection rule, the arbitrary control of the quantum state of a multilevel system on a molecular and electron spin basis has not been realized. Here we exploit the photoexcited triplet of C70 as a molecular electron spin qutrit. After the system was initialized by photoexcitation, we prepared it into representative three-level superposition states characteristic of the qutrit, measured their density matrices, and showed the interference of the quantum phases in the superposition. The interference pattern is further interpreted as a map of evolution through time under different conditions.
