Research project: Kuprov: Decoherence-free subspaces in large quantum spin systems
This is a theoretical project exploring the unusual property of large interacting spin systems - the existence of multiple states that are immune to the external noise and show lifetimes several orders of magnitude longer than those commonly found in magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Subspaces containing these states may be used to store DNP hyperpolarization and facilitate MRI experiments as well as, potentially, as memory registers for quantum information processing devices.
