“…Indeed, it provides a large spin (I = 7/2, eight levels) nuclear qudit, coupled by hyperfine interaction to an electronic spin 1/2, both characterized by remarkable coherence. The electronic coherence and spin Hamiltonian were already characterized in previous works [50,51] and different electronic transitions (depending on the nuclear spin state) were recently assessed by broadband electron paramagnetic resonance [52]. However, to exploit the nuclear qudit in a quantum information perspective, a deeper understanding of the nuclear degrees of freedom is mandatory.…”

We show that [VO(TPP)] (vanadyl tetraphenylporphyrinate) is a promising system suitable to implement quantum computation algorithms based on encoding information in multi-level (qudit) units. Indeed, it embeds an electronic spin 1/2 coupled through hyperfine interaction to a nuclear spin 7/2, both characterized by remarkable coherence. We demonstrate this by an extensive broadband nuclear magnetic resonance study, which allow us to characterize the nuclear spin-Hamiltonian and to measure the spin dephasing time as a function of the magnetic field. In addition, we combine targeted measurements and numerical simulations to show that nuclear spin transitions conditioned by the state of the electronic qubit can be individually addressed and coherently manipulated by resonant radio-frequency pulses, thanks to the remarkably long coherence times and the effective quadrupolar coupling induced by the strong hyperfine coupling. This approach may open new perspectives for developing new molecular qubit-qudit systems.
