Topics
IWCN 2029 welcomes contributions across the broad field of computational nanotechnology and related areas of quantum science and engineering.
The workshop provides a forum for the development and application of computational, theoretical, and data-driven approaches to nanomaterials, nanostructures, nanoscale devices, and physical processes at the nanoscale.
The scientific areas listed below are intentionally broad. The examples are provided as inspiration and are neither exhaustive nor intended to restrict submissions.
Broad Scientific Areas
Development, analysis, and application of computational and theoretical methods for nanoscale science and engineering.
Computational investigation and design of materials, structures, surfaces, interfaces, and heterostructures at the nanoscale.
Modelling of physical processes, interactions, dynamics, and transport phenomena in materials, structures, and devices.
Simulation, design, and evaluation of nanoscale devices, integrated structures, emerging architectures, and their applications.
Approaches connecting different spatial or temporal scales, coupled physical phenomena, fabrication processes, and device performance.
Computational and theoretical research on quantum systems, quantum phenomena, quantum technologies, and their applications.
