Spin-phonon relaxation from a universal ab initio density-matrix approach

First-principles calculations can help design and understand the behaviour of quantum technologies, but this requires the development of accurate methods to predict material properties. Here the authors present a method for calculating the spin-phonon relaxation time of general systems, a key quanti...
