CHEM C213BQuantum Chemistry Methods
Chemistry and Biochemistry · 4 units · Graduate courses (200-299)
Complete introduction to electronic structure theory methods used by general computational chemistry community, focusing primarily on ab initio methods. Students gain understanding of electronic structure methods and tools to identify which methods are suitable for which types of systems. Methods covered include Hartree Fock, density-functional theory, perturbative methods, and modern high-correlation methods; and highlight algorithms necessary to implement these methods efficiently. Concurrently scheduled with course C113B. Independent study project required of graduate students.
S/U or letter grading.
