IWR School "Mathematical Methods for Quantum Chemistry"
October 2-6, 2017 • Heidelberg, Germany
The IWR school 2017 "Mathematical Methods for Quantum Chemistry" targets young researchers from both the field of mathematics and of computational chemistry. Starting with formal basic introductions into both fields to level the ground and introduce the leading concepts and models, the school quickly turns to key aspects of computational quantum chemistry. It analyzes the structure of the underlying eigenvalue problems and outlines and describes in detail numerical concepts of modern algorithmic approaches to deal with these problems in an efficient and error-controlled way. It then turns to basis set representations to open the view into the interplay between mathematical representation, computational treatment and research in quantum chemistry. The theoretical lectures are complemented by hands-on sessions to enable practitioners to make use of modern computation facilities for fast solution of large problems.
The training program is taught in a series of short courses by:
- Eric Cancès, Ecole des Ponts Paris Tech and INRIA Paris
- Denis Davydov, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
- Andreas Dreuw, Heidelberg University
- Guido Kanschat, Heidelberg University
- Katharina Kormann, Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics
- Reinhold Schneider, TU Berlin
