      abstract = {This thesis sheds new light on the worldwide first  electrical manipulation of a single nuclear spin. Over the  last four decades, the size of a bit, the smallest logical  unit in a computer, has decreased by more than two orders  of magnitude and will soon reach a limit where quantum  phenomena become important. Inspired by the power of  quantum mechanics, researchers have already identified pure  quantum systems, having, analog to a classical bit, two  controllable and readable states. In this regard, the  inherent spin of electrons or nuclei with its two  eigenstates, spin up and spin down, is a promising  candidate. Using expertise in the field of single-molecule  magnets, the author developed a molecular transistor, which  allows quantum information to be written onto a single  nuclear spin by means of an electric field only, and, in  addition, enables the electronic read-out of this quantum  state. This novel approach opens a path to addressing and  manipulating individual nuclear spins within a very  confined space (a single molecule), at high speed. Thus,  the author was able to show that single molecule magnets  are promising candidates for quantum information  processing, which is triggering a new field of research  towards molecular quantum electronics.},
