Subject: 11.08.21 Summer School, Villars, Switzerland: Solving the Schrodinger Equation - From Electronic Structure to Quantum Dynamics
The recent advances in chemical theory and computer technology are allowing what was until recently unthinkable, namely the simultaneous quantum mechanical treatment of both electronic structure and chemical dynamics. Within this context, the boundary between the two communities of quantum chemists, i.e., those seeking an accurate description of the electronic structure (treating the molecular dynamics classically) and those developing efficient schemes for quantum dynamics (using simple model potentials for the electronic structure) is starting to disappear. A modern computational chemist should be aware of the most important developments in both areas. The school will focus on the most recent advances at the interface between electronic structure theory and the theory of quantum molecular dynamics.
