• Harnessing Chiral Spin States in Molecular Nanomagnets for Quantum Technologies [44.1973928137492]
  We show that chiral qubits naturally suppress always-on interactions that can not be switched off in weakly coupled qubits. Our findings establish spin chirality engineering as a promising strategy for mitigating always-on interaction in entangling two chiral qubits in molecular quantum technologies.

  The concept of Maxwell demon plays an essential role in connecting thermodynamics and information theory, while entanglement and non-locality are fundamental features of quantum theory. Recently, a novel concept called Maxwell demon-assistant Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering has been proposed, which suggests that it is possible to simulate quantum correlation by doing work. In this study, we demonstrate Maxwell demon-assistant EPR steering with superconducting quantum circuits.
