Complexes as Realizations of Qubits and Qugates for Quantum Computing

Guillem Aromi, Fernando Luis, and Olivier Roubeau 

Lanthanides and Actinides in Molecular Magnetism, First Edition. 

In this chapter, we focus on the use of lanthanides as spin-based hardware for QC. The remainder of this introductory section provides some essential concepts and definitions and then it succinctly describes some of the existing proposals for QC. The second section provides a brief overview of results obtained with spin-based systems other than lanthanides. The following two sections review experiments made on qubits and quantum gates, respectively, based on lanthanides, highlighting their specific properties and advantages for QC applications.
