DNA-Templated Dye Aggregates for Room-Temperature Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Information Applications
We computationally screen a wide range of dyes using an integrated approach that combines ab initio calculations, molecular dynamics, and machine learning. This allows us to predict both ground- and excited-state properties, uncover structure–property relationships, and gain fundamental insight into the role of quantum entanglement. We further investigate how hydrophobicity and polarity influence dye behavior in the context of quantum-coherent excitonic devices. Building on these insights, we design excitonic transmission lines and quantum gates based on dye aggregates organized by DNA scaffolds, enabling applications in universal quantum computation.
