Physical Chemistry Seminar Series: Tackling Strong Electron Correlation with Density Matrix Renormalization Group

Princeton University professor Sebastian Wouters will present this lecture.

The theory of quantum mechanics was invented nearly a century ago; in principle, it allows for accurate chemical predictions well within experimental bounds. In practice, the corresponding equations are far too complex to solve, since the size of the Hilbert space increases exponentially with the number of electrons. As a result, tremendous effort has been devoted to finding approximate, yet accurate, solutions of polynomial cost to describe low-lying potential energy surfaces.
