Abstract

The implementation of a universal quantum processor still poses fundamental issues related to error mitigation and correction, which demand investigation of also platforms and computing schemes alternative to the main stream. A possibility is offered by employing multilevel logical units (qudits), naturally provided by molecular spins. Here we present the blueprint of a molecular spin quantum processor consisting of single molecular nanomagnets, acting as qudits, placed within superconducting resonators adapted to the size and interactions of these molecules to achieve a strong single spin-to-photon coupling. We show how to implement a universal set of gates in such a platform and to readout the final qudit state. Singlequdit unitaries (potentially embedding multiple qubits) are implemented by fast classical drives, while an alternative scheme is introduced to obtain two-qubit gates via resonant photon exchange. The latter is compared to the dispersive approach, finding in general a significant improvement. The performance of the platform is assessed by realistic numerical simulations of gate sequences, such as Deutsch-Josza and quantum simulation algorithms. The very good results demonstrate the feasibility of the molecular route towards a universal quantum processor.
