Goal

The goal of the school is to introduce the participants to modern methods and computational techniques in quantum chemistry. Participants are assumed to have at least a knowledge of quantum mechanics as represented, for example, by Molecular Quantum Mechanics, P. W. Atkins (Oxford University Press). In addition the participants are assumed to have a basic knowledge of quantum chemistry methodology, in particular the Hartree-Fock method as well as the concepts of Linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) and Slater determinants.
