Orientation mapping of Rabi frequencies in a rare-earth molecular qu<i>d</i>it

Abstract

Utilizing the <italic>S</italic> = 7/2 4f spin and the <italic>D</italic>₄ symmetry of a Gd(<sc>iii</sc>) complex, we propose and demonstrate an eight-leveled rare-earth molecular qu<italic>d</italic>it, which can be coherently manipulated between adjacent energy levels with precompiled pulse durations.
