Quantum leap : Recent observations using pulsed EPR spectroscopy suggest that it is possible magnetic molecules such as the {V 15 } polyoxometalate cage (see picture; V red, As blue, O white) could be used in quantum information processing (QIP). Controlled interactions of cage complexes with an S =1/2 ground state, acting as qubits, could allow QIP.
