401-3667-69L | Case Studies Seminar (Autumn Semester 2019) | 3 KP | 2S | V. C. Gradinaru, R. Hiptmair, M. Reiher | |
Kurzbeschreibung | In der Lehrveranstaltung Fallstudien präsentieren ETH-interne und -externe Referenten Fallbeispiele aus ihren eigenen Anwendungsgebieten. Zudem müssen die Studierenden einen Kurzvortrag (10 Minuten) halten aus einer Liste von publizierten Arbeiten. | ||||
Lernziel | |||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | 75% attendance and a short presentation on a published paper out of a list or on some own project are mandatory. Students that realize that they will not fulfill this criteria have to contact the teaching staff or de-register before the end of semester from the Seminar if they want to avoid a "Fail" in their documents. Later de-registrations will not be considered. | ||||
401-5940-00L | Seminar in Chemistry for CSE | 4 KP | 2S | P. H. Hünenberger, M. Reiher | |
Kurzbeschreibung | The student will carry out a literature study on a topic of his or her liking (suggested by or in agreement with the supervisor) in the area of computer simulation in chemistry (Prof. Hünenberger) or of quantum chemistry (Prof. Reiher), the results of which are to be presented both orally and in written form.

529-0003-00L | Advanced Quantum Chemistry Only for Chemistry MSc, Programme Regulations 2005. IMPORTANT NOTICE for Chemistry students: There are two different version of this course for the two regulations (2005/2018), please make sure to register for the correct version according to the regulations you are enrolled in. | 7 KP | 3G | M. Reiher, S. Knecht | |
Kurzbeschreibung | Advanced, but fundamental topics central to the understanding of theory in chemistry and for solving actual chemical problems with a computer. Examples are: * Operators derived from principles of relativistic quantum mechanics * Relativistic effects + methods of relativistic quantum chemistry * Open-shell molecules + spin-density functional theory * New electron-correlation theories | ||||
Lernziel | The aim of the course is to provide an in-depth knowledge of theory and method development in theoretical chemistry. It will be shown that this is necessary in order to be able to solve actual chemical problems on a computer with quantum chemical methods. The relativistic re-derivation of all concepts known from (nonrelativistic) quantum mechanics and quantum-chemistry lectures will finally explain the form of all operators in the molecular Hamiltonian - usually postulated rather than deduced. From this, we derive operators needed for molecular spectroscopy (like those required by magnetic resonance spectroscopy). Implications of other assumptions in standard non-relativistic quantum chemistry shall be analyzed and understood, too. Examples are the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the expansion of the electronic wave function in a set of pre-defined many-electron basis functions (Slater determinants). Overcoming these concepts, which are so natural to the theory of chemistry, will provide deeper insights into many-particle quantum mechanics. Also revisiting the workhorse of quantum chemistry, namely density functional theory, with an emphasis on open-shell electronic structures (radicals, transition-metal complexes) will contribute to this endeavor. It will be shown how these insights allow us to make more accurate predictions in chemistry in practice - at the frontier of research in theoretical chemistry. | ||||
