Towards quantum sensing with molecular spins

Molecular spins have shown genuine quantum properties, both as collections of independent units and as individual objects. Their properties and performances can be engineered at molecular level, while advanced technologies to coherently manipulate magnetic objects and to address them with unprecedented spatial and energy resolution have emerged in the last years. Here we address the question on how to exploit quantum features of molecular spins for quantum sensing. To this end, we summarise some basic ideas and discuss some examples where molecular spins can play a role in the field.
