Abstract
A challenging paradigm in the computational sciences is the coupling of the continuum, the atomistic and the quantum descriptions of matter for a
unified dynamic treatment of a single physical problem. We described the achievement of such a goal. We have
spanned the length scales in a concerted simulation comprising the finite-element method, classical molecular dynamics, quantum tight-binding dynamics and seamless bridges between these different physical descriptions. We illustrate and validate the methodology for crack propagation in silicon.
