Quantum technologies are poised to revolutionize current methods for large-scale computations and solving complex quantum physics and chemistry problems. Qubits, the fundamental units of quantum technologies, can be realized in a multitude of systems, such as superconducting circuits, nitrogen vacancies in diamonds, or electronic spins in molecules. Molecular Spin Qubits (MSQs), based on the spin levels of metal ions or organic radicals, appear to be natural candidates for this role, given their inherently quantum nature. This talk will address some cutting edge approaches and suggest prospective strategies for overcoming the current limitations of MSQs. In the first part, we will show how click chemistry, a technique recognized with the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, can be utilized to prepare a self-assembled monolayer of MSQs. The second part will be devoted to the integration of MSQs into polymeric-based organic semiconductors, aiming not only to achieve an electrical read-out of the qubit states but also to explore potential applications in the field of spintronics.
