Linked paramagnetic cage complexes could potentially be used as quantum gates for quantum information processing. The cover picture shows such a supramolecular assembly, which consists of two heterometallic octagons (paramagnetic {Cr 7 Ni} cages) linked through a metal dimer. The white arrow represents the light input that switches the interaction between the two halves of the quantum gate. For more details see the Communication by M. Affronte, G. A. Timco, R. E. P. Winpenny et al. on page 6496 ff.
