Spin-phonon relaxation rates can now be accurately computed for molecular crystals using a fraction of the basis functions, revolutionizing the study of magnetic materials.

Forget simple rules: tweaking a molecule's structure to improve spin qubit coherence is far more complex than previously thought, demanding advanced computational methods.

Three-phonon contributions to spin relaxation are typically negligible, but a small increase in spin-phonon coupling could change that, potentially opening new avenues for manipulating spin systems.
