Title: Toward Long-Range Entanglement between Electrically Driven Single-Molecule Magnets

Abstract

Over the past two decades, several molecules have been explored as possible building blocks of a quantum computer, a device that would provide exponential speedups for a number of problems, including the simulation of large, strongly correlated chemical systems. Achieving strong interactions and entanglement between molecular qubits remains an outstanding challenge. In this research, we show that the TbPc2 single-molecule magnet has the potential to overcome this obstacle because of its sensitivity to electric fields stemming from the hyperfine Stark effect. We show how this feature can be leveraged to achieve long-range entanglement between pairs of molecules using a superconducting resonator as a mediator. Our findings suggest that the molecule–resonator interaction is near the edge of the strong-coupling regime and could potentially pass into it given a more detailed, quantitative understanding of the TbPc2 molecule.
