Are ‘colour molecules’ the key to a room-temperature quantum computer?

The Hindu  

A classical computer is a collection of information storage units called bits. If two electrons, one on a lower rung of the ladder and another on a higher rung, have their spins pointing in opposite directions, it is a singlet excited state. If the two electrons are on different steps of the energy ladder and have their spins in the same direction, the configuration would be called a triplet excited state. This process of generating two triplet excited chromophores from a singlet excited state chromophore is called singlet fission. The triplet state of one of the chromophores involves two of its energy levels, and that of the other chromophore involves two energy levels in its own energy ladder.
