Coherent manipulation of molecular qudits by broadband NMR

We review recent results showing the capability of broadband Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to coherently manipulate the state of multi-level molecular qudits with radiofrequency pulses. Several qubit-qudit systems have been studied, paving the way for the realization of quantum-error correction protocols. Here we focus on the recent prototypical [VO(TPP)] complex, a very promising system with long coherence times and strong hyperfine interaction.
