报告摘要：
As the thirst for computer power is ever-growing and the classical limits of conventional semiconductor electronics are slowly reached, new alternatives are needed. The innovation must happen on two roads: one with respect to the materials (e.g., starting to employ nanostructures), and one with respect to the logic (in other words using quantum logic instead of classical logic). Both paths can meet when magnetic molecules are taken into consideration as building blocks.
In this talk, after a brief introduction to the theoretical aspects of designing nano-spintronic devices, I will introduce some fundamental ideas regarding the logic functionalization of magnetic molecules and nanoclusters. The first-principles separation of laser-induced spin and charge dynamics benefits from the strong electronic correlations in magnetic materials. The Λ process represents a mechanism which allows for the rapid optical manipulation of the magnetic state of realistic molecules bypassing slow dynamical degrees of freedom.
Based on these concepts I will show that the molecular spins can be exploited as input and output bits in a variety of laser-driven, logical processes, going far beyond simple information storage. The systems considered here are realistic and mostly synthesized molecules (Fig. 1). As main examples of functionalities on magnetic molecules I will address the implementation of classical Boolean logic (AND, OR, and XOR gates), the spin-SHIFT register, as well as the ERASE operation by breaking time-reversal symmetry. Additionally, I will briefly mention some new concepts such as mechanically controlled spin dynamics and the inclusion of the molecular rotation.
Last but not least I will discuss the implementation of quantum phenomena, which can lead to new gates (e.g., gate), or the which-path interference, in which the final state of the spin reveals the path followed during the spin-transfer process.
