Super benzene oligomers pave the way for new types of quantum computers

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is routinely employed by physicists and chemists to capture atomic-scale images of molecules on surfaces. Now, an international team led by Christian Joachim and co-workers from the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering has taken STM a step further: using it to identify the quantum states within 'super benzene' compounds using STM conductance measurements. Their results provide a roadmap for developing new types of quantum computers based on information localized inside molecular bonds.
