TL;DR
This paper reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances in understanding quantum relaxation in molecular magnet ensembles, highlighting their potential for testing decoherence in macroscopic quantum systems and proposing new experimental directions.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive review of current results and suggests novel experiments to explore quantum relaxation and decoherence in molecular magnets.
Findings
Molecular magnets serve as nearly ideal quantum spin glasses.
Recent results support their use in testing decoherence mechanisms.
Proposed experiments aim to deepen understanding of quantum relaxation.
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.
