In recent years we have shown, that molecular Lanthanide-based coordination complexes hold potential for use as physical supports for the implementation of single- and entangled-qubit quantum gates in Quantum Information Technology devices [1,2]. The coupled electronic qubit-nuclear qudit nature of this system allowed to propose a scheme for intrinsic implementation of efficient quantum error...
Triangular-lattice antiferromagnets (TLAFs) provide a versatile platform for exploring frustrated magnetism, where geometric constraints inhibit conventional long-range order and foster exotic quantum states [1]. In these systems, the interplay between spin–orbit coupling and crystal electric field effects induces markedly different behaviors between Kramers and non-Kramers ions; Kramers ions...
EuZn$_{2}$P$_{2}$ is a narrow-gap semiconductor (0.11 eV) belonging to the Zintl phase family, characterized by mixed ionic and covalent bonding. Although long-range antiferromagnetic order is established only below $23$ K, strong short-range magnetic correlations significantly reduce electrical resistivity well above the ordering temperature, leading to a giant magnetoresistance...
Recently, a large number of hard disc drives have been decommissioned due to wear and their replacement with more efficient and reliable solid-state drives. However, before the decommissioning, the data stored on the HDD should be erased. This process is typically carried out through degaussing. However, the aluminium-steel casing of HDDs significantly attenuates magnetic flux density....
