Osaamistavoitteet

The course aims at providing the student with a detailed understanding of modern quantum chemistry methods and the necessary skills to apply these methods in a meaningful way to chemical problems.

Suoritustavat

The students will carry out a one-to-two week Computational Chemistry project in which he or she will apply quantum chemistry methods to reproduce results from older literature and validate those findings with more advanced calculations that possible on today's computer hardware.

The student will write a report about this project, in which also the methods are discussed and motivated.

³§¾±²õä±ô³Ùö

Mathematical foundations of quantum chemical methods, Hartree Fock Theory, Perturbation Theory, Configuration Interaction, Density functional theory, semi empirical methods (MNDO, AM1, PM3), Quantum Monte Carlo.

In addition practical skills in performing calculations will be trained in two tutorial sessions.
