Quantum Chemistry

Quantum chemistry studies how the laws of quantum mechanics can be applied to chemical models and experiments on chemical systems. It encompasses quantum phenomena at all levels, such as the electronic structure of matter and its interaction with light, energy and charge flow, the collective behavior of complex ensembles, and the quantum chemical dynamics of time-evolving systems. Using theoretical modeling, spectroscopy techniques, and chemical synthesis, quantum chemists work to understand and harness the quantum properties of atoms and systems around us.
