Abstract
Recently, spin-bearing molecules have been experimentally demonstrated to have great potential as building blocks for quantum information processing due to their substantial advantages including tunability, portability, and scalability. Here, we propose a theoretical model based on the theory of open quantum systems for spin dynamics in a molecule containing one radical, which can interact with the triplet state arising from another part of the molecule owing to optical excitation and intersystem crossing. With the initial state being a classical mixture of a radical 1/2-spin, the exchange interaction between the radical and the triplet produces a spin coherent state, which could potentially be used for a qubit-qutrit quantum entangling gate. Our calculations for the time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectra showed good qualitative agreement with the related experimental results for radical-bearing molecules at high temperature (~77 K, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen). This work therefore lays a solid theoretical cornerstone for optically driven quantum gate operations in radical-bearing molecular materials, aiming toward high-temperature quantum information processing.
