DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this volume we have collected some of the contributions made to the Twelfth European Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics (QSCP-XII) in 2007. The workshop was held at Royal Holloway College, the most westerly campusof the University of London,and situated just a stone’s throw from Windsor Great Park. The workshop, which ran from 30 August to 5 September, continued the series that was established by Roy McWeeny in April 1996 with a meeting held at San Miniato, near Pisa. The purpose of the QSCP workshops is to bring together, in an informal atmosphere and with the aim of fostering collaboration, those chemists and physicists who share a common ?eld of interest in the theory of the quantum many-body problem. Quantum mechanics provides a theoretical foundation for our understandingof the structure,propertiesanddynamicsof atoms, moleculesandthe solid state, in terms of their component particles: electrons and nuclei. The study of ‘Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics’ therefore underpins many of the emerging?elds in twenty-?rstcenturyscience andtechnology:nanostructure,smart materials, drug design – to name but a few. Members of the workshop were keen to discuss their research and engage in collaboration centred upon the development of fundamental and innovative theory which would lead to the exploration of new concepts. The proceedings of all of the workshops, which have been held annually since 1996, have been published both to disseminate the latest developments within the wider community and to stimulate further collaboration.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdvances in the Theory of Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics is a collection of 32 selected papers from the scientific contributions presented at the 15th International Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics (QSCP-XV), held at Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK, from August 31st to September 5th, 2010. This volume discusses the state of the art, new trends, and the future of methods in molecular quantum mechanics and their applications to a wide range of problems in chemistry, physics, and biology. The breadth and depth of the scientific topics discussed during QSCP-XV are gathered in seven sections: I. Fundamental Theory; II. Model Atoms; III. Atoms and Molecules with Exponential-Type Orbitals; IV. Density-Oriented Methods; V. Dynamics and Quantum Monte-Carlo Methodology; VI. Structure and Reactivity; VII. Complex Systems, Solids, Biophysics. Advances in the Theory of Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics is written for research students and professionals in Quantum systems of chemistry and physics. It also constitutes and invaluable guide for those wishing to familiarize themselves with research perspectives in the domain of quantum systems for thematic conversion or simply to gain insight into the methodological developments and applications to physics chemistry and biology that have actually become feasible by the end of 2010.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full Ecclesiastes What is quantum chemistry? The straightforward answer is that it is what quan tum chemists do. But it must be admitted, that in contrast to physicists and chemists, "quantum chemists" seem to be a rather ill-defined category of scientists. Quantum chemists are more or less physicists (basically theoreticians), more or less chemists, and by large, computationists. But first and foremost, we, quantum chemists; are conscious beings. We may safely guess that quantum chemistry was one of the first areas in the natural sciences to lie on the boundaries of many disciplines. We may certainly claim that quantum chemists were the first to use computers for really large scale calculations. The scope of the problems which quantum chemistry wishes to answer and which, by its unique nature, only quantum chemistry can answer is growing daily. Retrospectively we may guess that many of those problems meet a daily need, or are say, technical in some sense. The rest are fundamental or conceptual. The daily life of most quantum chemists is usually filled with grasping the more or less technical problems. But it is at least as important to devote some time to the other kind of problems whose solution will open up new perspectives for both quantum chemistry itself and for the natural sciences in general.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book Quantum Mechanics: Principles, New Perspectives, Extensions and Interpretation Revised Edition deals with the foundations of Quantum Mechanics in a quite novel way. From his own published works throughout these last 20 years in prominent Journals, Prof. L.S.F. Olavo reconstructs Quantum Mechanics (as related to the Schrödinger equation) from the scratch, both in mathematical and interpretive ways. The picture that emerges is quite different from the one we get from other approaches. While the mainstream approach reinforces some unavoidable weirdness in the Quantum World, Prof. Olavos interpretation presents Quantum Mechanics as quite an intuitive theory, using only the pedestrian notions of randomness, fluctuations and the companion notion of statistics. However, it is much more than another stochastic approach. Throughout the first part of the book, Prof. Olavo shows how the various roads to derive the Schrödinger equation can be reduced to his own mathematical construction: Feynmans path integral and the stochastic approach are but two of them. The book also brings about quite new results, such as the connection between Quantum Mechanics and the Central Limit Theorem and Langevin Equations (by means of which quantum phenomena can be easily simulated and make visualizable). All this is done taking recourse to only three axioms. This strategy gives the book an impressive power of synthesis in what respects the interpretation of the formalism. In fact, in the last part of the book, Prof. Olavo shows how some of the innumerous proposals for the interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, with some of their constructs, can help us making a rational reconstruction of a Quantum World without any weirdness whatsoever. In the second part, to remove some of the various obstacles to a Quantum Mechanics without weirdness, the book deals with the most prominent aspects and experiments of the Quantum, such as spin and the Stern-Gerlach experiment, the construction of operators and also Identical Particles. In the third part, the book presents a fully special and general relativistic extension of the formalism by just making the extension of the three postulates used throughout the first part. This book is intended to all those interested in the foundations of Quantum Mechanics.
