Excited state computational analysis using TheoDORE, revealed a higher percentage of charge transfer character in S0S1 in TIPS-PY compared to PY which can enhance the coupling of the triplet-pair state with the excited singlet-state, thereby increasing the efficiency of singlet generation.

A new green-emitting annihilator (TIPS-PY) display a record red-to-green TTA-UC quantum yield. The efficiency was achieved due to features of the TIPS-PY: 1) retaining a high fluorescence QY 2) reduced triplet energy to 1.29 eV and 3) a high efficiency of singlet generation after triplet coupling

Frequency Targeting In #superconducting quantum processors isn’t just a design detail — it’s a scaling bottleneck. Frequency crowding → higher gate error rates. Here we show how we work with this at con-science.se
