Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy for Characterization and Read-out

面内富勒烯(分子化合物，其中一个原子有一个电子矩驻留在一个空心球分子中)是很有吸引力的量子比特(量子比特)候选者，因为面内富勒烯在化学和电子上保护着作为量子比特的电子矩，这将导致较长的自旋弛豫时间，并有机会在表面上建立计算机而不需要掩埋。该项目的目标是将磁共振作用力显微镜应用于单个面体内富勒烯的检测和研究，以及计算机的制造、表征和读出，希望最终具有单自旋灵敏度。为了实现这一点，将开发用于操纵和研究表面富勒烯的技术，并将进行高灵敏度的磁共振力显微镜研究其磁性。

Endohedral fullerenes (molecular compounds in which an atom with an electronic moment resides inside a hollow "buckyball" molecule) are attractive candidates for quantum bits (qubits) because the endohedral fullerene chemically and electrically protects the electronic moment that will serve as a qubit leading to long spin relaxation times and the opportunity to build the computer on surface without the need for burying. The goal of the project is the application of a magnetic resonance force microscope to the detection and study of individual endohedral fullerenes, and to the fabrication, characterization and readout of the computer, ultimately with single spin sensitivity, it is hoped. To achieve this techniques for manipulating and studying fullerenes on surfaces will be developed, and high sensitivity magnetic resonance force microscopy studies of their magnetic properties will be performed.
