AbstractWith support from the Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD) program, Professor James D. Gaynor is investigating ultrafast spin-vibronic dynamics in photomagnetic complexes, molecular qubits, and materials for quantum information sciences. As qubits and quantum sensors, molecules present key advantages to the emerging field of quantum information science by combining atomic precision with reproducible and tunable components and properties. However, there are significant challenges associated with
