Atomistic Modeling of Strains and Electronic Distortions in Materials for Quantum Computers

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The project focuses on developing predictive and interpretative mathematical models for the reliability of materials used in quantum computers. It specifically addresses the stability of qubits and quantum coherence, which can degrade due to distortion of electron wave functions caused by lattice strains. The research aims to generalize multiscale Green's functions methods to include electron-ion coupling, with a focus on materials such as graphene, silicene, phosphene, and NV centers in diamond. The goal is to improve the reliab...

Grantor Contact InformationVinod K. Tewary, phone: 303.497.5753Grantor Emailvinod.tewary@nist.govOther Grantor InformaitonThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
