About this collection
Chemistry is a molecular science that stands at the forefront of recent advances in information sciences, energy technologies, medicine, the design of novel materials, and molecular electronics. Chemistry is now poised to contribute to the burgeoning new field of quantum information science (QIS), which promises to revolutionize communications, sensing, and computing by replacing the binary classical bit with a quantum bit (qubit).
Guest Edited by Martin Kirk (University of New Mexico) and Jinlong Yang (University of Science and Technology of China), this collection of reviews highlights leading chemistry QIS research showing how molecular design principles can be used to prepare specific quantum states, entangle and manipulate qubits, and enable magnetic and optical readout of prepared quantum states.
