Synopsys QuantumATK

The QuantumATK team at Synopsys develops the QuantumATK simulation tool for fast and reliable atomic-scale modeling of nanostructure. QuantumATK is fully supported and delivered in an easy-to-use interface, tailored from state-of-the-art methods, and developed by experts to the specifications of our customers. Who we are The QuantumATK team are former employees of QuantumWise which was acquired by Synopsys Inc. in 2017. At present, the QuantumATK team are part of Synopsys TCAD and has more than 30 employees, working with developing the QuantumATK code and supporting the users. Most of the employees have a Ph.D. in physics or chemistry, and/or are seasoned programmers with long experience in numerical modeling and GUI development. Our aim and philosophy We position ourselves as a facilitator by interacting with both the research community to extract the latest state-of-the-art methods and techniques, and with researchers in companies and universities that seek to utilize these tools. We strive to deliver these advanced numerical tools in an easy-to-use package. Our primary aim is to make the latest developments within atomic-scale modeling available to enable technologists to solve real life problems within the materials and semiconductor industry. Unlike most other commercial companies offering software for atomic-scale modeling, we develop our own code from the bottom up, and we have the in-house expertise to develop novel functionality all the way down to the quantum-mechanical level. Our software is a constant work in progress, and our development is test-driven and guided by customer requests and requirements. We spend a lot of energy on ensuring the quality and reliability of the software. Can we help you solve a problem? If you have any questions related to our products or company, please get in touch with us (quantumatk@synopsys.com), as we would love to hear from you! Requests and feedback from our customers is what helps us evolve our products.
