Outline of Final Research Achievements

Quantum computer is an information processing technique based on the entanglement of quantum mechanics. In this study, we attempted to develop novel and practical NMR-qubit molecules containing 31P nucleus by utilizing synthetic chemistry. We developed the stereoselective synthesis of phosphaalkenes and the P=P cleavage reaction providing the various organophosphorus compounds bearing the non-equivalent (sp2-)phosphorus atoms. These low coordinated phosphorus compounds exhibited the suitable NMR properties to the quantum information processing. The newly developed phosphorus compounds can be utilized as ligands of metal-complexes, which enable to multiply the number of quibits.
