C08 – Controlling quantum systems by electrical current
Funding period: 2008 – 2011
Principal investigator: Wolfgang Belzig
Scientific staff: Anna Posazhennikova, Fei Xu, Milena Filipovic, Cecilia Holmqvist
In this project we want to investigate theoretically the quantum manipulation of molecular magnets by electric currents. By contacting the molecular magnet, the possibility of manipulation is introduced simultaneously with decoherence and relaxation. We are particularly interested in the mutual dynamics of the molecular spin and the conduction electrons. We want to find out whether the spectral density of current noise allows us to control the coherent quantum dynamics.
