Abstract
The detection and manipulation of nuclear spins has become an important multidisciplinary tool in science, reaching from analytic chemistry, molecular biology, to medical imaging and are some of the reasons for a steady drive towards new nuclear spin based technologies. In this context, recent breakthroughs in addressing isolated nuclear spins opened up a new path towards nuclear spin based quantum information processing [1–4]. Indeed, the tiny magnetic moment of a nuclear spin is well protected from the environment, which makes it an interesting candidate for storage of quantum information [5, 6]. On this account, we are going to investigate an isolated nuclear spin using a single-molecule magnet spin-transistor in regard to its read-out fidelity and lifetime, which are important figures of merits for quantum information storage and retrieval.
