The nanoscale is the meeting point of classical and quantum physics.
Previous research efforts were considering either smaller systems, for
which everybody could develop their own methods and software
independently, or much bigger systems, for which it was clearly
impossible to provide a fine-grained description. Addressing the issues
raised by the nanoscale requires however cooperative and coordinated
efforts in a multidisciplinary context. This metapackage is part of
