  • Publication number: 20260043879
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for increasing a nuclear spin polarization of a target compound. In accordance with such systems and methods, a first non-thermal equilibrium nuclear spin polarization can be imparted to at least one source atom of a source compound, the source atom having a nuclear gyromagnetic ratio of at least 12 megahertz per tesla (MHz/T). A first solution can be obtained that includes the source compound and a target compound. The at least one source atom can be present in a source concentration of at least 0.1 molar (M) in the first solution. A second non-thermal equilibrium nuclear spin polarization of at least 0.01% can be imparted to the at least one target atom of the target compound via a nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) transfer of the first non-thermal equilibrium nuclear spin polarization to the at least one target atom.

  • Publication number: 20250311342
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes non-classical (e.g., quantum) computing systems and methods that utilize dopant molecules contained in host materials as qubits. The dopant molecules generally comprise ground-state triplet (GST) molecules, such as carbenes or nitrenes. The host materials generally comprise organic molecules. Precursors to the dopant molecules can be embedded in the host materials and then subjected to ultraviolet (UV) or visible light to form dilute molecular crystals comprising the dopant molecules embedded in the host materials. The triplet sub-levels of the dopant molecules may be manipulated using electromagnetic (EM) radiation such as optical, radiofrequency (RF), and/or microwave (MW) radiation to conduct non-classical computing operations.
