We review the present state of the art in using the endohedral fullerenes N@C60 and P@C60 as qubits in a spin quantum computer. After a brief introduction to spin quantum computing, we first discuss the rich spin structure of these endohedral fullerenes and specific theoretical proposals for architectures and operation models leading to a scalable quantum computer. We then briefly discuss those aspects of materials science that are needed to realize the proposed architectures. The central part…
