We will present our latest results towards the electron spin quantum computer (QC) based on the group V endohedral fullerenes N@C₆₀ and P@C₆₀ as qubits. These molecules are very suitable for QC purposes because of their very long relaxation times and the possibility of good scalability [1]. We show the dependence of the spin-spin relaxation of polycrystalline P@C60 samples on the temperature and on spin concentration. At low temperatures and low concentrations, we found a value of T₂ = 150 µ s, which is very long for molecular systems. We also managed to align our fullerenes in the perfectly one-dimensional channels of the organic crystal BrPOT (2,4,6-tris-(4-bromo-phenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine) as described in [2]. The inclusion lowers the symmetry of the fullerene cage and gives rise to a considerable zero-field splitting. This provides a way to selectively address the (±3/2; ±1/2) and (1/2;-1/2) transitions, giving access to all internal spin degrees of freedom. The relaxation times of the corresponding transitions are also presented.
