Molecular spintronics and quantum computing

Molecular spintronics is a new and emergent sub-area of spintronics that can benefit from achievements in molecular electronics and molecular magnetism. This issue highlights the current trends and challenging goals of this area: from the development of molecular analogs of the existing inorganic materials used in the construction of spintronic structures, to the evolution towards single-molecule spintronics. In this last aspect, particular attention is devoted to the possibilities offered by magnetic molecules and single-molecule magnets for future applications in quantum computing.
