| Abstract | ABSTRACT: The focus of the present project is to develop the fundamentals of quantum circuit modeling. Quantum circuit modeling will enable us to describe the integration of quantum nanodevices into circuits and the simulation of the circuit as a whole for novel applications. These models are essential if one is to anticipate novel computing architectures where molecular devices may function far differently from modern transistors and where optimized circuit design may entail radically different patterns of device interconnections. |

| Bio | Kalman Varga, Assistant Professor of Physics. Kalman Varga received his PhD in 1996 at the University of Debrecen, Hungary. His research interests include computational nanoscience, molecular dynamics simulations, density-functional and time dependent density functional calculations, electron transport, and the development of linear scaling first-principles approaches. He has published more than 100 papers, co-authored two books, and currently serves as Condensed Matter Field Editor on the editorial board of Few-Body Systems (Springer). He is member of the Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE). Brandon Cook received his BS in Mathmetatics and BS in Physics from Lynchburg College in 2003. He is a second year graduate student at Vanderbilt University. His research interests include first principles calculation for nanoscale devices and quantum molecular dynamics, and improving the scaling of current approaches. |
