Chemical Approaches to Quantum Information Science

Synthetic chemistry enables us to build up systems from the bottom up with angstrom scale precision. We harness this precise synthetic control towards the emerging challenge of quantum information science (QIS), in which we are creating and understanding qubits, the smallest unit of a QIS system. Our approach enables fundamental insight into the factors that contribute to electronic spin decoherence, the creation of qubits with millisecond coherence times, and the creation of arrays of qubits. These results and others will be described.
