SUMMARY Goals & Challenges: LANEF addresses three major research, technological, economical and societal challenges: ICT, energy & electricity, and health & wellness. Fundamental, groundbreaking R&D is the wellspring of innovation and a major challenge is to build a unique environment where basic multidisciplinary research (with an emphasis on physics and electrical engineering) will be integrated in a larger campus for research & innovation, that is the Grenoble GIANT1 project [ref GIANT]. Interdisciplinary research appears more and more at the heart of innovation, and a close link between fundamental and applied research is mandatory to sustain innovation on the long run. The mission of LANEF is to be the reservoir and provider of basic research in nanosciences and materials research to the integrative network of Grenoble, within the frame of the new national strategy: SNRI, NanoINNOV, the Grenoble IRT "Nano-microelectronics", and, the Grenoble IEED "INEDI". Thanks to their exceptional international position and visibility acquired over the long term, the teams of the LANEF will facilitate access to forefront research in Grenoble for hundreds of students, R&D engineers, SMEs and start-up companies. Grenoble is the place to develop such an integrative network since it hosts major basic research laboratories, which will be partners of LANEF, a unique combination of large instrument facilities (ESRF and ILL), technological research centres and industry. When combined, Grenoble’s Minatec and GIANT reach the critical mass needed to ensure national and international visibility. This provides a favourable environment for research and innovation. The concomitant high level connections between LANEF teams and both the international community and local industrial partners, including technological facilities, produces a fruitful environment for the mixing of ideas. This will benefit the production of scientific knowledge and the societal impact of the research through intellectual property and transfer of know-how to industry. Strategy of the institutions The objectives of LANEF directly address the objectives of the Université de Grenoble (with UJF and Grenoble-INP at the forefront), and of the CNRS and CEA. 1 Acronyms are defined in the appendices. 3/106 APPEL A PROJETS LABEX/ LANEF CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2010 DOCUMENT SCIENTIFIQUE B / SCIENTIFIC SUBMISSION FORM B All have placed ICT, energy, health, as well as innovation and transfer, advancement of knowledge and education, at the heart of their strategy. Research project: The project identifies nine major research fields, required for Grenoble innovation, where LANEF provides a critical mass and fore-front expertise to produce significant breakthroughs: • Photonics and semiconductors (quantum optics, production and conversion of light, silicon photonics), • Spintronics and nanomagnetism (Electric field control of magnetism, synthesis and advanced magnetic microscopy for spintronics), • Quantum nanoelectronics (growth, fabrication and scanning probe microscopy of nanostructures , coherent spintronics, hybrid nanostructures), • Electrical energy (Magnetism for sustainable energy, Exotic materials for novel Energy Systems and Power-MEMS, From hydrogen to electricity, Green power electronics), • Advanced superconductivity (Innovative

  • Light-Matter Interaction and Optical Spectroscopy from Infrared to X-Rays
    24th ETSF Workshop on Electronic Excitations Light-Matter Interaction and Optical Spectroscopy from Infrared to X-Rays Jena, Germany 16 – 20 September 2019 Welcome The workshop series of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF) provides a fo- rum for excited states and spectroscopy in condensed-matter physics, chemistry, nanoscience, materials science, and molecular physics attracting theoreticians, code developers, and experi- mentalists alike. Light-matter interaction will be at core of the 2019 edition of the ETSF workshop. Cutting-edge spectroscopy experiments allow to probe electrons, plasmons, excitons, and phonons across different energy and time scales with unprecedented accuracy. A deep physical understanding of the underlying quantum many-body effects is of paramount importance to analyze exper- imental observations and render theoretical simulations predictive. The workshop aims at discussing the most recent advances in the theoretical description of the interaction between light and matter focusing on first-principles methods. This broad subject will be covered in its diverse declinations, from core-level spectroscopy to collective low-energy excitations, dis- cussing also matter under extreme conditions, and systems driven out of equilibrium by strong laser pulses. Exchange between theorists and experimentalists is fostered to open new horizons towards the next generation of novel spectroscopy techniques. The workshop will also face the challenges posed by the formidable complexity of heterogeneous and nanostructured systems such as those of interest for light harvesting and energy generation, prompting to bridge the gap be- tween experimental and in silico spectroscopy. Workshop topics include: Linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy • Core-level spectroscopies • Ultrafast excitation dynamics • Electron-phonon coupling • Light harvesting in natural and synthetic systems • We are glad to welcome you in Jena, the city of light, and wish you an inspiring workshop with lots of interesting science and fruitful discussions.

  • Programming Models for Quantum Many-Body Methods on Multicore and Manycore Processors
    Programming models for quantum many-body methods on multicore and manycore processors Jeff Hammond1 and Eugene DePrince2 1 Argonne 2 Georgia Tech 6 February 2011 Jeff Hammond Electronic Structure Calculation Methods on Accelerators Abstract The growing diversity in computer processor architectures poses a serious challenge to the computational chemistry community. This talk considers some of the key issues, including disjoint address spaces, non-standard architectures and execution models, and the different APIs required to use them. Specifically, we will describe our experiences in developing coupled-cluster methods for Intel multicore, Intel MIC, NVIDIA Fermi and Blue Gene/Q in both a clean-sheet implementation and NWChem. Of fundamental interest is the development of codes that scale not only within the node but across thousands of nodes; hence, the interaction between the processor and the network will be analyzed in detail.

Intro: Particle Accelerators - Where and What For? Where: •The total number of particle accelerators, all categories included, in operation in the world as of today is practically impossible to know with precision. The are recent estimates which list at about 1,500 the number used in industrial applications, 5,000 in the medical field (radiotherapy and production of radio-isotopes), and ~200 for basic research (particle physics, synchrotron radiation). In addition, about 7,000 units are used as ion implanters or to modify the state of surfaces, and 1,000 more for non- nuclear research. The grand total is approximately 15,000 accelerators [1]; •They are located on the 5 continents, although Africa unfortunately barely makes it on the list; •Total world investment can be estimated at several billions €/year; Ex.: the ILC (Internation Linear Collider, an international project under study now) would need approximately 14 billion $US to complete in 7 years, if built now with present technology. Its vacuum system is one of the major contributors to the total budget, and a possible show-stopper for the entire project.

    Virt&l-Comm.3.2012.1 A MODERN APPROACH TO AB INITIO COMPUTING IN CHEMISTRY, MOLECULAR AND MATERIALS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGIES ANTONIO LAGANA’, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, UNIVERSITY OF PERUGIA, PERUGIA (IT)* ABSTRACT In this document we examine the present situation of Ab initio computing in Chemistry and Molecular and Materials Science and Technologies applications. To this end we give a short survey of the most popular quantum chemistry and quantum (as well as classical and semiclassical) molecular dynamics programs and packages. We then examine the need to move to higher complexity multiscale computational applications and the related need to adopt for them on the platform side cloud and grid computing. On this ground we examine also the need for reorganizing. The design of a possible roadmap to establishing a Chemistry Virtual Research Community is then sketched and some examples of Chemistry and Molecular and Materials Science and Technologies prototype applications exploiting the synergy between competences and distributed platforms are illustrated for these applications the middleware and work habits into cooperative schemes and virtual research communities (part of the first draft of this paper has been incorporated in the white paper issued by the Computational Chemistry Division of EUCHEMS in August 2012) INTRODUCTION The computational chemistry (CC) community is made of individuals (academics, affiliated to research institutions and operators of chemistry related companies) carrying out computational research in Chemistry, Molecular and Materials Science and Technology (CMMST). It is to a large extent registered into the CC division (DCC) of the European Chemistry and Molecular Science (EUCHEMS) Society and is connected to other chemistry related organizations operating in Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Chemometrics, Omics-sciences, Medicinal chemistry, Forensic chemistry, Food chemistry, etc.

There were 46 oral presen- tations (23 invited speakers and 23 contributed talks) and 32 posters. The workshop allowed the participants to discuss the advances in the theoretical and computational treatment of optical and dielectric spectroscopy, photoemission spectroscopy and quantum transport in the framework of time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) theory. Invited speakers from leading international groups gave an in-depth overview of current research activities within these theories and placed recent results into context.
