Single-molecule quantum network nodes
A quantum network has the potential to transform various fields in science and technology by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to enable secure communication, quantum cloud computing, and distributed quantum sensing. Numerous advances are in the making to identify suitable architecture and material platforms to establish a quantum network. As an elementary building block, a network node needs to fulfill the requirements of storing, processing quantum information in stationary qubits, and efficiently interconverting the information to flying photons. In this project will combine the recent advances in single-molecule microscopy, precision spectroscopy, spin control, and cavity quantum electrodynamics to exploit the potential of single-molecules as quantum network nodes.
