Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics contains a refereed selection
of the papers presented at the first European Workshop on this subject,
held at San Miniato, near Pisa, Italy, in April 1996.
The Workshop brought together leading experts in theoretical chemistry
and molecular physics with an interest in the quantum mechanical
many-body problem. This volume provides an insight into the latest
research in this increasingly important field. Throughout the Workshop,
the emphasis was on innovative theory and conceptual developments rather
than on computational implementation. The various contributions
presented reflect this emphasis and embrace topics such as density
matrices and density functional theory, relativistic formulations,
electron correlation, valence theory, nuclear motion, response theory,
condensed matter, and chemical reactions.
Audience: The volume will be of interest to those working in the
molecular sciences and to theoretical chemists and molecular physicists
in particular
