Quantum Chemistry Workshop
A select group of theoretical chemists will join CCQ staff and local scientists in exploring existing methods and future directions in theoretical quantum chemistry. The workshop will focus both on achieving chemical accuracy for larger and more strongly correlated quantum systems and on defining methods for identifying can calculating dynamical responses and reaction pathways.
Open to CCQ members and, due to space limitations, to others by invitation only.
