Abstract
Quantum tunneling of nano-magnets finds a natural description in terms of intermediate spin. Periodic magnetic effects correspond to a change of flux by the flux quantum . Schr\"odinger cat states with different superpositions of the applied magnetic field occur. The molecular magnet Fe is discussed and oscillations are predicted for Mn.
