CUSO Summer School 2011 Villars
Date | So, 21.08.2011 - Do, 25.08.2011 | |
Location | Eurotel Victoria, Villars sur Ollon, Switzerland | |
Program | Solving the Schrödinger Equation - From Electronic Structure to Quantum Dynamics Organizers: Prof. Clémence Corminboeuf and Prof. Jiří Vaníček (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) Invited Speakers: Prof. Irene Burghardt (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris): From quantum to mixed quantum-classical dynamics: wavefunctions, densities, and trajectories Prof. Todd Martinez (Stanford University): First Principles Quantum Dynamics and Quantum Chemistry on GPUs Prof. Hans-D. Meyer (University of Heidelberg): Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree Method and Applications Prof. Mark Tuckerman (New York University): Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics and Path Integrals 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. |
