Physical and Theoretical Chemistry

Molecular Qubits, Spin Chemistry and Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity

Additional sessions will consider single-molecule magnets, molecular qubits with long coherence times, and chemical design strategies that protect quantum information from vibrational and magnetic noise. Presentations may cover spin-controlled reactivity, chiral electrodes and asymmetric synthesis driven by spin selectivity, and magneto-optical detection methods. Discussion will extend to the open mechanistic debate on chirality-induced spin selectivity, including the decisive experiments that could distinguish competing explanations and establish reproducibility across laboratories. Theory of zero-field splitting, spin relaxation and relativistic effects will also be addressed. Translational potential will be emphasized, including molecular sensors, quantum-compatible materials, and cross-disciplinary workflows linking spectroscopy, synthesis and device fabrication.
