The Hill Group’s research in quantum science was recently featured in Florida State University’s article, Year of Quantum: FSU poised to lead in quantum science and engineering.

Led by Professor Stephen Hill, the group is exploring lanthanides, rare earth elements with unique magnetic and optical properties, as potential building blocks for qubits. These elements can store quantum information for extended periods, offering a chemical alternative to fragile superconducting circuits.

The article emphasized how Hill’s team, through publications in Nature Chemistry and JACS, is pushing the boundaries of molecular quantum science. It also highlighted the importance of close collaboration between chemists and physicists in advancing quantum applications with elements such as praseodymium and lutetium.
