contents Electron spins in single molecules are a promising platform for quantum information processing. However, their practical implementation as qubits requires reliable control at the single-entity level, including an efficient state initialization. Here, we demonstrate the remote, all-electrical initialization of the electron spin in single molecules: Using electron spin resonance scanning tunneling microscopy, we investigate coupled pairs of S=1/2 molecules (Fe-FePc), where one molecule serves as a readout and pumping unit for the neighboring one. We show that the exchange interaction between them enables angular momentum transfer, which allows for the control of the remote spin state via the direction and magnitude of the spin-polarized tunneling current and the exchange coupling strength. These results establish a general, all-electrical approach for remote spin initialization that is readily transferable to a wide range of spin-based quantum architectures.
