these tools achieve a basic understanding of the underlying concepts of quantum chemistry. The emphasis is on explaining ideas rather than on the enumeration of facts and/or the presentation of procedural details. The book can be used to teach introductory quantum chemistry to second-or third-year undergraduates either as a
The goal of this course is to introduce fundamental concepts of Quantum Mechanics with emphasis on Quantum Dynamics and its applications to the description of molecular systems and their inter-actions with electromagnetic radiation. Quantum Mechanics involves a mathematical formulation

Introduction to quantum mechanics David Morin, morin@physics.harvard.edu This chapter gives a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics can be thought of roughly as the study of physics on very small length scales, although there are also certain macroscopic systems it directly applies to. The descriptor \quantum" arises

That theory is known as quantum mechanics, and it is now the basic framework for understanding atomic, nuclear, and subnuclear physics, as well as condensed-matter (or ”solid-state”) physics. The laws of motion (due to Galileo, Newton,...) which preceded quantum theory are referred to as classical mechanics.

• Perturbation theory:MP2, MP4,… – Based on adding successive improvements to both wavefunction and energy – In principle, leads to exact result, but perturbation must be small – Hartree-Fock-based perturbation theory originally due to Moller & Plesset (MP); popularized by Pople and Bartlett (MBPT)

Chapter 7. Quantum Theory and Atomic Structure • A problem arose in Rutherford’s nuclear model. A nucleus and electron attract each other; to remain apart the electron must move. • The energy of the electron’s movement must balance the energy of attraction. • Physics established that a charged particle moving in a curved
observable give rise to the different representations of quantum mechanics, because the explicit forms of the operators represent the abstract structure of the theory in terms of actual manipulations. One of the most common representations is the position representation, in which the position operator is represented by multiplication by x (or
