A magnetic molecule coupled to a superconductor induces Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states, detected by tunneling spectroscopy as long-lived quasiparticle excitations inside the superconducting gap [1]. The degeneracy of the system can be lifted by intrinsic magnetic anisotropy so that entangled spin and YSR excitations are possible [2]. We tune the exchange coupling between a FeTPP-Cl molecule and the proximitized Au(100)/V substrate to go through a Quantum Phase Transition from an unscreened half-integer spin (even parity) system to a screened integer spin (odd parity) system [3]. We use a single site superconductor model [4] to prove the capability to detect the parity of the system, getting fundamental insight into the interplay of YSR and spin excitation.
