Overview
What you will study
In the first part of the Quantum Chemistry course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, approximative methods are introduced. The interaction between electromagnetic radiation and molecules is discussed which then leads to the basic principles of various optical (such as infrared and Raman) spectroscopies.
Methods of quantum chemical calculations and their applications in chemistry and biochemistry are treated in the second part of the course. The Hartree-Fock method, its theoretical background and implementation but also post-Hartree-Fock methods and the density functional theory are described and discussed. Their application for calculating molecular properties such as energies, molecular geometries, vibrational spectra and features of chemical reactions is introduced and illustrated.
This part of the course includes quantum-chemical calculation assignments where a modern quantum chemical software package is used for computing molecular properties and chemical reactions.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Learn about the basic concepts and methods of quantum chemistry.
- Describe the formalism of quantum mechanics, relate to and summarize the concepts of quantum mechanics in order to define, calculate and explain the behavior of quantum mechanical model systems.
- Describe, explain and apply basic quantum chemical theory for atomic and molecular many-electron systems to the computation of molecular properties, chemical reactivity and molecular spectroscopy.
