Note: The project described in this document is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI) to use TeraGrid's petascale environments for highly advanced scientific analysis and simulations that advance the frontiers of scientific and engineering research. For more, see ARCHIVED: Petascale computing on the TeraGrid.

This project produces simulations of ultra-miniaturized electronic and structural elements, nearly the size of a millionth of an inch, which are nano-sized components of nano-devices. Such simulations give highly reliable design characteristics of nano-materials and the devices and processes involved in making nano-devices.

The project is developing a set of open source petascale quantum simulation tools for the broad area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The major work of the project is carried out by an interdisciplinary team of theoretical physicists, computer scientists and device modeling specialists.
