Quantum Relaxation of Ensembles of Nanomagnets

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Recent theory and experiment in crystals of molecular magnets suggest that fundamental tests of the decoherence mechanisms of macroscopic quantum phenomena may be feasible in these systems (which are almost ideal quantum spin glasses). We review the results, and suggest new experiments.
