Course content

The fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Group theory. Variational theory. Perturbation theory. The Hartree-Fock model and molecular orbital theory. Description of electron correlation and density functional theory. Calculation of electronic spectra. Polarizability and hyperpolarizability. Calculation of NMR spectra. Other electric and magnetic properties.

Learning outcome

The course gives an introduction to quantum chemistry concepts and methods. The calculation of molecular properties will be emphasized.
After finishing the course, the student should be able to:
- Account for the fundamental concepts and equations in quantum mechanics.
- Account for the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
- Give an overview of different computational methods: variational theory and perturbation theory.
- Account for the central electronic structure models.
- Describe different electron correlation models.
- Account for electric and magnetic molecular properties.
- Interpretation of NMR spectra.
