• Abstract: Spin decoherence poses a significant challenge in molecular magnets, with the nuclear spin bath serving as a prominent source. Intriguingly, spin qubits at the clock transition exhibit remarkable insensitivity to the surrounding nuclear spins. Recent experimental studies have unveiled a correlation between the decoherence time and the density of spin qubits, prompting our investigation into the contribution of the qubit bath to spin decoherence. In this paper, we present a comprehensive theoretical analysis of a few S=1 spin qubits, focusing on their interaction at the clock transition. Employing the exact diagonalization and the cluster correlation expansion (CCE) method, we simulate the dynamics of spin decoherence while varying the density of the qubit bath. To ensure the realism of our simulations, we incorporate structural and energetic parameters derived from previous studies on the HoW10 crystal. Our findings indicate that when the energy mismatch between the energy splittings of two qubits exceeds their interaction strength, they can become effectively insensitive to each other, offering an explanation for the absence of observed changes in the T2 time during experiments with lower qubit densities. Understanding the role of qubit bath density in spin decoherence at the clock transition not only advances our knowledge of decoherence mechanisms but also provides insights for the development of strategies to protect coherence in molecular magnets and other quantum systems. By optimizing the density of spin qubits, we can enhance the coherence properties and pave the way for improved performance of quantum devices. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into the relationship between qubit bath density and spin decoherence at the clock transition, contributing to the broader understanding and control of quantum systems in molecular magnets.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
