提案编号：ECS-0732866提案标题：NSF设备和系统的量子、分子和高性能建模与仿真研讨会PI名称：Dowling，JonathanPI机构：路易斯安那州立大学提案范围：ECCS宣布在其核心计划中为设备和系统(QMHP)的量子、分子和高性能建模与仿真(QMHP)提供一个新的推力领域。这一领域的主要目的是捕捉科学和社会的新的重大机遇(大的智力价值和更广泛的价值)，这些机会可能来自涉及三个核心群体的新的基础交叉研究：(1)电子系统和设备的建模和模拟专家；(2)与系统和设备相关的高性能计算；以及(3)与系统和设备相关的量子多体原理。这次研讨会的目的是提高我们对这些新机会所在位置的理解，并创建一份研讨会报告，以激发对这一领域更多更好的建议。建议的科学价值：在电子学和光电子学的建模工作中，已经在科学理解方面取得了重要的、非常基本的进展，如腔量子电动力学(QED)，这对垂直腔面发射激光器的设计至关重要，但也是我们对物理定律理解的根本改变。研讨会将试图确定未来可能实现此类根本性突破的领域。提议的广泛影响：众所周知，电子和光子学技术的更广泛影响是巨大的。设计包本质上只是带有界面的模型。改进的设计将受益于改进的型号。该研讨会为NSF提供了更好地了解未得到满足的新机会，以改进模型和设计的方式，作为关键领域的促进者，如能源、普遍获得通信和大规模并行纳米计算。

Proposal Number: ECS-0732866Proposal Title: NSF Workshop on Quantum, Molecular and High Performance Modeling and Simulation for Devices and Systems.PI Name: Dowling, JonathanPI Institution: Louisiana State University Scope of Proposal: ECCS has announced a new thrust area in its core programs for on Quantum, Molecular and High Performance Modeling and Simulation for Devices and Systems (QMHP). The main purpose of this area is to capture the new large opportunities for science and society (large intellectual merit and broader merit) which may result from new fundamental cross-cutting research involving three core communities: (1) experts in modeling and simulation of electronic systems and devices; (2) high performance computing relevant to systems and devices; and (3) the quantum many-body principles relevant to systems and devices. The purpose of this workshop is to improve our understanding of where these new opportunities lie, and to create a workshop report to stimulate more and better proposals to this area.Scientific merit of proposal: Work in modeling for electronics and optoelectronics has already resulted in important very fundamental advances in scientific understanding, such as cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), essential to the design of VCSELs yet also a fundamental change in our understanding of the laws of physics. The workshop will attempt to identify areas where such fundamental breakthroughs may be possible in the future.Broad impact of proposal: Broader impacts of electronics and photonics technologies are known to be huge. Design packages are essentially just models with interfaces. Improved design will benefit from improved models. The workshop provide NSF with a better understanding of the unmet emerging new opportunities to improve models and designs in a way which serves as an enabler to such crucial areas as energy, universal access in communications, and massively parallel nanocomputing.
