Physicist, National Institute of Standards and Technology

Richard Silver is a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland.  He received his Bachelors in Physics from the University of California at Berkeley and his PhD in physics from University of Texas at Austin. He leads a research effort developing atom-based silicon quantum electronics for solid state quantum computing and analog quantum simulation.  His research focusses on fabrication, design, and measurement of atom-based Si structures that rely on single or few atom clusters, precisely placed in an epitaxial silicon environment to explore dopant-based electron spin qubits and manybody physics in arrayed Hubbard model systems.
