Design Rules for Open-Shell Molecular Wires: Insights from Correlated Many-Body Transport

Open-shell π-conjugated systems have emerged as promising molecular wires that can sustain unusually high low-bias conductance over tens of nanometers. However, predictive design rules remain limited because near-degeneracy and spin polarization give rise to correlated electronic states that are not reliably captured b...

How NOT to build control-target gates in semiconductor quantum dots and beyond

Universal quantum computation requires single-qubit control together with at least one entangling two-qubit gate. CNOT and CROT gates are two famous examples of such gates, wherein the state of one qubit (control) dictates the transformation applied to the other (target). By using a simple derivation motivated by symme...
