The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) center embedded in extended and nanoscale diamond structures is a promising candidate for quantum information processing (QIP), magnetometry and even for biomarkers. A basic requirement for these applications is a precise prediction of the placement and a detailed understanding of the physical properties of the NV− center. Using a range of simulation techniques we consider the formation of NV− centers from the statistical standpoint, before performing accurate calculations for the optical properties of individual NV− centers. In particular, we investigate the channeling effect during shallow implantations in molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, a combination of a spin-polarized atomic effective pseudopotential and a configuration interaction approache is used to obtain many body effects in the excitonic spectra.
