Quantum chemical methods are nowadays an integral part of modern research in physics, and physics students should not only understand the basis of the methods, but also be able to estimate the precision of the acquired results. This goal will be reached by combining theoretical lectures and hands-on experience with quantum chemical calculations. The students that finish the course will understand the current state-of-the-art in quantum chemistry, will be able to perform quantum chemical calculations under guidance and cooperate with quantum chemists.

The course will cover the following topics: Brief history of quantum chemistry; Born-Oppenheimer approximation, Slater determinant, variational principle, semiempirical approaches (Hückel), Hartree-Fock method, Møller-Plesset perturbation method, Configuration Interaction, Coupled Clusters, Density Functional Theory, relativistic effects, treatment of larger systems (molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, QM/MM), solvent modeling, photochemistry.
