Abstract: Described herein are chemically assembled nanoparticles of a multiferroic material embedded into a conductive (e.g., metal-organic) framework host that allows for tunable qubit spacing and overall architecture. In certain aspects, the composites described herein can function as solid-state qubits. In other aspects, the composites described herein can be implemented in systems used in quantum information processing (QIP). In other aspects, the composites described herein can be used as a quantum sensor.
