Photogeneration of Electron Spin Qubit Pairs in Molecular Materials for Quantum Information Applications

Watch a detailed lecture exploring the photogeneration of entangled electron spins in molecular materials for quantum computing applications. Discover how ultrafast photogeneration of electron-hole pairs in donor-acceptor systems creates entangled spins with coherence times suitable for CNOT gate operations and quantum state teleportation. Learn about innovative applications of photogenerated entangled spin pairs as molecular electric field sensors and explore how chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) affects spin dynamics in donor-chiral bridge-acceptor molecules. Gain insights from Michael R. Wasielewski, the Clare Hamilton Hall Professor of Chemistry and Applied Physics at Northwestern University, as he shares findings from his laboratory's research on using chiral molecular building blocks to control electron spin states for quantum information applications. Drawing from his extensive experience leading multiple quantum research initiatives and having authored over 800 publications, Professor Wasielewski presents cutting-edge developments in light-driven processes, artificial photosynthesis, molecular electronics, and quantum information science.
