Research Interests

David mages the molecular dynamics simulation program. In this program, simulations of atomic and electronic structure using density functional theory are used to aid the interpretation of atomic force microscope images of surfaces at various stages in the construction of the buried phosphorus qubit. In addition, the top down and bottom up strategies are simulated using dynamical methods. The simulations are used by experimental collaborators to assist in refining the procedures used to place phosphorus atoms.
