Jeannine Grüne
Dr. Jeannine Grüne is a Research Fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 in the Department of Materials. Her research focuses on spin physics in molecular systems, with particular expertise in optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), combining magnetic resonance with optical spectroscopy to probe spin dynamics, coherence, and spin-dependent processes relevant to quantum technologies.
Her Fellowship project 'Single-Molecular Qubits with Optical Readout for Next Generation Quantum Technologies' explores the use of individual molecules as qubits. Molecular qubits are especially promising due to their scalability and customisability: they can be produced in large numbers and tailored for specific quantum functionalities. With the use of ODMR, spin states of individual molecules can be read out and controlled under ambient condition - enabling their use in future applications such as secure communication, large-scale quantum computing, and high-precision sensing.
Prior to this fellowship, she held a postdoctoral position at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge and completed her PhD in the Department of Physics at the University of Würzburg.
