Abstract:
Interactions between quantum systems and their environments may always result in inevitable decoherence. Isolation of the quantum system from the undesired environmental noise is a great challenge for ideal quantum information processing. Herein, based on a parallelly shaped control-target molecular nanomagnet structure, we report a novel strategy which decouples the target molecular device from its surrounding conduction baths. By tuning the level differences between the control and target orbitals through external gate voltages, one manipulates both, neither or only the target subsystem to contribute to the quantum transport in sequence, corresponding to an "on-off-on" behavior in the linear conductance. In the off window, a local transport circulation develops, preventing the target device from being disturbed by the itinerant electrons. This finding provides a prospective method for confining integrated quantum devices with high intrinsic fidelity, remarkable tunability, and universal suitability.
