Description:Literature Seminar Abstract\n\nSingle molecule magnets have bee
 n shown to be capable of performing as a quantum bit\, or qubit\, which is
  predicted to revolutionize the world of computing. However current day si
 ngle molecule magnets only exhibit magnetic hysteresis\, and thus can only
  act as a qubit\, below liquid nitrogen temperatures. In 2014 a study was 
 done on the low temperature relaxation dynamics of [Co(acac)2(H2O)2]. It w
 as found that at low ( &lt\; 2K) temperatures and near-zero field the prim
 ary relaxation pathway occurred by a one-phonon direct process and at high
 er temperatures a two-phonon Raman process dominated. Recently a study by 
 Moseley et. al. used Raman and far-IR spectroscopy to observe and quantita
 te the spin-phonon coupling of the Raman relaxation pathway and create a v
 ibronic model that sheds light on the origin of the spin-phonon entangleme
