Synthetic Pathways to Eliminate Nuclear Spins

Molecular Quantum Bits (MQBs) are promising prototypical qubits for implementing Quantum Information Processing (QIP). However, their utility is impeded by short coherence times caused by small magnetic contributions from nuclear spins in the surrounding environment. This project explores synthetic pathways to eliminate nuclear spins to achieve T₂ long enough to make MQBs viable for QIP using nuclear spin free organic radicals.
