Quantum computing of molecular magnet Mn₁₂

Quantum computation in molecular magnets is studied by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation numerically. Following Leuenberger and Loss [Nature (London) 410, 789 (2001)], an external alternating magnetic field is applied to populate and manipulate a superposition of single-spin states in molecular magnet Mn₁₂. The conditions to realize parallel recording and reading databases of Grover algorithms in molecular magnets are discussed in detail. It is found that an accurate time duration of the magnetic pulse as well as the discrete frequency spectrum and the amplitudes are required to design a quantum computing device.
