This study explores the synthesis of lanthanide-based coordination compounds using dissymmetric organic ligands, enabling the access to well-defined heterolanthanide compositions and versatile quantum gate design. The weak interaction between the Ln ions allows for multi-qubit quantum logical operations and the implementation of quantum-error correction protocols. The research shows the vast potential of these systems in spin-based quantum information processing.
The design of dissymmetric organic ligands featuring combinations of 1,3-diketone and 2,6-diacetylpyridine coordination pockets has been exploited to produce dinuclear and trinuclear lanthanide-based coordination compounds. These molecules exhibit two or more non-equivalent Ln ions, most remarkably enabling the access to well-defined heterolanthanide compositions. The site-selective disposition of each metal ion within the molecular entities allows the study of each centre individually as a spin-based quantum bit, affording unparalleled versatility for quantum gate design. The inherent weak interaction between the Ln ions permits the performance of multi-qubit quantum logical operations realized through their derived magnetic states, or implementing quantum-error correction protocols. The different studies performed to date on these systems are revised, showing their vast potential within spin-based quantum information processing.
