Article Abstract

We propose a two-qubit gate based on dipolar exchange interactions between individually addressable ultracold polar molecules in an array of optical dipole traps. Our proposal treats the full Hamiltonian of the Σ molecule NaCs, utilizing a pair of nuclear spin states as storage qubits. A third rotationally excited state with rotation-hyperfine coupling enables switchable electric dipolar exchange interactions between two molecules to generate an iSWAP gate. All three states are insensitive to external magnetic and electric fields. Impacts on gate fidelity due to coupling to other molecular states, imperfect ground-state cooling, blackbody radiation and vacuum spontaneous emission are small, leading to potential fidelity above 99.99% in a coherent quantum system that can be scaled by purely optical means.

Designing Spin-Correlated Radical Ion Pairs for Quantum Sensing of Electric Fields: Effect of Electron-Nuclear Hyperfine Coupling.

Light-driven formation of radical ion pairs that occurs much faster than their electron spin dynamics results in correlated spins whose coherence properties can be used as a quantum-based electric field sensor. This results from the radical ion pair having charge and spin distributions that track one another. Thus, electric field induced changes in the distance between the two charges are reflected in the spin-spin distance that can be measured directly using out-of-phase electron spin echo envelope modulation (OOP-ESEEM), a pulse-EPR technique.

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has emerged as a powerful technique to overcome the sensitivity limit of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy through polarizing agents (PAs) carrying unpaired electrons. Nitroxide biradical-based PAs have garnered great attention due to their superior DNP performance. Here, we report TJPols─water-soluble acrylamide-linked nitroxide biradicals featuring facile large-scale synthesis.

Dipolar coupling between closely spaced magnetic waveguides enables magnonic directional couplers serving as signal combiners, power splitters, demultiplexers, and more. The wavelength-dependent coupling, combined with the weak nonlinear variation of spin-wave wavelength at constant frequency, introduces power-dependent characteristics of directional couplers. This property has been utilized in magnonic logic elements and other applications.

ConspectusAdiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR), which exploits the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), remains the only helium-free refrigeration technology capable of reaching temperatures below 1 K. With the rapid growth of quantum computing and astronomical observation, there is a pressing need for large-capacity ADR systems─underscoring the critical demand for magnetic refrigerants capable of generating substantial magnetic entropy changes (-Δ) at millikelvin temperatures. However, a long-standing challenge persists: achieving both large -Δ values and low magnetic ordering temperatures ().

Heteronuclear NMR methodologies developed over the past 40 years have enabled atomic level insights into the solution-state structure and dynamics of proteins of ever-increasing size, some as large as 1 MDa. Unfortunately, H-C and H-N correlated methods foundational for studies of proteins have been less useful when applied to larger RNAs (>50 nucleotides; ∼17 kDa) due primarily to adverse relaxation effects caused by strong H-C dipolar coupling and difficulties obtaining and assigning H-N correlated spectra for exchangeable protons. Recently, alternative homo- and heteronuclear NMR approaches have been developed that involve nucleotide- and sequence-specific isotopic labeling.
