Thus, understanding decoherence when spin qubits are in close proximity will become a roadblock to overcome. Herein, we provide a general first-principles model that straightforwardly evaluates the spin bath effect on the qubit phase memory time $T_m$ . The method is applied to a ground-spin $J=8$ magnetic molecule 1 displaying atomic clock transitions, which remarkably increase $T_m$ at unusually high spin concentrations. Besides reproducing experimental $T_m$ values calculated by recent models in simple spin-1/2 systems, our approach unveils the causes that limit the coherence reached at the clock transitions in more challenging systems such as 1, where these previous models fail.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-26T17:57:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin qubits", "magnetic noise", "qubit phase memory time", "general first-principles model", "displaying atomic clock transitions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
