     Computational Challenges of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

     School of Computational Sciences, George Mason University

      This talk will focus on nonequilibrium many-body quantum 
phenomena in nanoscience and nanotechnology. A review will be given on 
some of novel nonequilibrium physical phenomena found in mesoscopic 
systems, nanodevices and low-dimensional systems, as well as in 
ultrafast electrodynamics of semiconductors, quantum control and 
quantum computer investigations. The computational challenges presented 
in physical modeling and in performing numerical simulation of these 
phenomena will be discussed. Advances in simulating the quantum 
transport physics in some of these systems will be reviewed. The 
underlying quantum transport physics beyond mean field theory needed to 
make further advances in the numerical analysis of 
highly-nonequilibrium ultrafast nanosystems and nanodevices will be 
outlined.
