Quantum physics research background

Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics encompasses abroad spectrum of research where scientists of different backgrounds and interestsjointly place special emphasis on quantum theory applied to molecules, molecular interactions and materials. The meeting was divided into several sessions, each addressing a different aspect of the field 1 - Density matrices and density functionals 2 - Electron correlation treatments 3 - Relativistic formulations and effects 4 - Valence theory (chemical bond and bond breaking) 5 -Nuclear motion (vibronic effects and flexible molecules) 6 - Response theory (properties and spectra) 7 - Reactive collisions and chemical reactions, computational chemistry and physics and 8 - Condensed matter (clusters and crystals, surfaces and interfaces). 

Quantum chemistry is hence a rapidly developing field which falls between the historically established areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. As a result there is a wide diversity of backgrounds among those interested in quantum chemistry. Since the results of the research are reported in periodicals of many different types, it has become increasingly difficult for both the expert and the nonexpert to follow the rapid development in this new multidisciplinary area. 

Weyl thus answered the second question in his investigations of the mathematical analysis of the space problem. His researches with the representation theory of Lie groups started because of his diverse background, from the philosophy of mathematics to the natural sciences. Further, he clarified Heisenberg s non-commuting physical quantities in quantum mechanics, which were initially stated in a mathematical form rather than a physical form. 

Our ambition is to provide a modern introduction to the field of relativistic quantum chemistry, aimed at the advanced student and the practicing nonspecialist researcher. The material has been divided into five parts. Parts I and II provide the necessary background from classical physics, relativistic quantum mechanics, and group theory. Part III covers the application of these principles to fully relativistic methods for quantum chemistry within a four-component framework. Part IV deals with the main...
