Overview
This workshop series brings together participants in electronic structure theory from around the world, in particular from
the US. The presentations describe new methods for computing
previously inaccessible properties, breakthroughs in
computational efficiency and accuracy, and novel applications
of these approaches to the study of molecules, liquids, and
solids.
The program will consist of invited oral presentations and contributed posters describing new methods for computing previously inaccessible properties, breakthroughs in computational efficiency and accuracy, and novel applications of these approaches to the study of molecules, liquids, and solids.
