Abstract Scope |
Extreme operation conditions and large device footprint are two major challenges quantum computers are currently facing. Organic conjugated molecules, known as dyes, which can absorb and emit light, are potential candidates for room-temperature quantum computing due to their unique electronic and optical properties. When dyes are aggregated, they exhibit exciton delocalization and coherence features importantly at ambient temperature. These novel features can overcome exiting quantum computing challenges. To aggregate the dyes, DNA nanotechnology provides scaffolding upon which dyes attach in an aqueous environment. To better control the process and optimize the properties, we applied multiscale modeling techniques to reveal dye structures and properties to facilitate the dye synthesis and characterization experiments. |
