Programmable exploration of magnetic states in Lieb-kagome interpolated lattices

We investigate a hybrid modeling framework in which a quantum annealer is used to simulate magnetic interactions in molecular qubit lattices inspired by experimentally realizable systems. Using phthalocyanine assemblies as a structurally constrained prototype, we model a continuous deformation from a Lieb to a kagome lattice, revealing frustration-driven disorder and magnetic field-induced reordering in the spin structure. The goal is to show how a quantum annealer can operate as a physically instantiated, programmable platform to emulate experimentally relevant lattice deformations and produce observables in a manner analogous to an experimental measurement, enabling the characterization of magnetic arrangements beyond the reach of current molecular architectures. This surrogate modeling approach offers a pathway to explore and iteratively design tunable magnetic states in synthetic materials. The synthetic design, structural characterization, and quantum simulation framework established here defines a modular and scalable paradigm for probing the limits of engineered matter across chemistry, condensed matter, and quantum information science.
