Quantum computation in molecular magnets is studied by solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation numerically. Following Leuenberger and Loss [Nature (London) $410,$ 789 (2001)], an external alternating magnetic field is applied to populate and manipulate a superposition of single-spin states in molecular magnet ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{12}.$ The conditions to realize parallel recording and reading databases of Grover algorithms in molecular magnets are discussed in detail. It is found that an accurate time duration of the magnetic pulse as well as the discrete frequency spectrum and the amplitudes are required to design a quantum computing device.Quantum computation in molecular magnets is studied by solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation numerically.

We propose two potential realizations for quantum bits based on nanometre-scale magnetic particles of large spin S and high-anisotropy molecular clusters. In case (1) the bit-value basis states |0⟩ and |1⟩ are the ground and first excited spin states S z = S and S -1, separated by an energy gap given by the ferromagnetic resonance frequency. In case (2), when there is significant tunnelling through the anisotropy barrier, the qubit states correspond to the symmetric, |0⟩, and antisymmetric, |1⟩, combinations of the twofold degenerate ground state S z = ± S . In each case the temperature of operation must be low compared to the energy gap, Δ, between the states |0⟩ and |1⟩. The gap Δ in case (2) can be controlled with an external magnetic field perpendicular to the easy axis of the molecular cluster. The states of different molecular clusters and magnetic particles may be entangled by connecting them by superconducting lines with Josephson switches, leading to the potential for quantum computing hardware.We propose two potential realizations for quantum bits based on nanometre-scale magnetic particles of large spin S and high-anisotropy molecular clusters.
