The first project, titled “On-surface radical qubits for optically detected spin sensing” (ORQOSS), is a collaboration with Prof. Alexander Kühne from the University of Ulm and Prof. Philip Willke from KIT in Karlsruhe. The second project, titled “Molecular Scaffolds for programmable quantum systems” (MoSPro-Q), brings together Prof. Anke Krüger, Dr. Susanne Baumann, and Prof. Sebastian Loth, all at the University of Stuttgart. We are extremely grateful for the support from the Baden-Württemberg Foundation and very much look forward to the fruitful collaborations these projects will bring.
