Quantum mechanics future trends

A general trend which could be noticed over the last few years and which may be expected to develop further in the near future involves a closer coupling between the use of general tools of computational chemistry (ab initio and semi-empirical quantum chemistry, statistical-mechanical simulations) and relaxation theory. When applied to model systems, the computational chemistry methods have the potential of providing new insights on how to develop theoretical models, as well as of yielding estimates of the parameters occurring in the models.
