The Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M2QM) aims to deepen understanding and optimize control of electron-level physical processes to turn molecular magnets into quantum materials. We tune inter-molecule communication via magnetic interactions in clusters and solids and we design and perfect the underlying materials science for future computers and […]
