The control of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale is a grand challenge that cuts across modern photonics, plasmonics, and optoelectronics. The development of simulation tools for predictive modeling of nanostructured light emitters and absorbers is critical to successfully tackling this grand challenge. Existing state-of-the-art tools are not suitable for the following reasons: a) Phenomenological models of materials, commonly employed in the full-wave solutions to Maxwell’s equations, are fit to experimental data for bulk materials and fall short when attempting to analyze nanostructures. b) Nonlinearities in optical response can arise solely from nanostructuring, and require time-dependent quantum electronic transport techniques to capture. c) Emergent materials with exotic and tunable physical properties are increasingly used, but their properties are very sensitive to the substrate, impurities, and edge termination, and require an accurate description of interband and intraband processes, as well as dissipation. d) Microscopic modeling of electronic transport usually employs simplified electrodynamics, and realistic models that couple full electronic transport with full-wave electrodynamics are needed for accurate photonics simulations. The objective of this project was to computational tools that will overcome the limitations faced by current modeling tools and provide an unprecedented level of accuracy for predictive modeling of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale.
