Abstract
During my thesis, my work was dedicated to the study of single-molecule magnet based transistors in order to perform a coherent quantum manipulation and a non-destructive read-out of a single nuclear spin. Towards this goal, I designed an experimental setup to perform ultra low noise electrical measurements at very low temperature (40 mK), under the influence of fast sweeping 3D magnetic fields and RF electromagnetic fields.
