A Spin in a Molecule, a Photon in a Network: The New Chemistry of Quantum Interfaces

The molecule that links a spin to a photon A useful quantum-network node must perform two tasks that are usually optimized in different materials. It must preserve a quantum state long enough for remote operations, and it must emit or absorb light whose properties depend coherently on that state. Electronic spins can retain information while optical photons
