SUMMARY:Correlated electronic structure: What can physicists and chemists 
 learn from each other? - Dr George Booth
DTSTART:20170525T131500Z

CONTACT:Gareth Conduit
DESCRIPTION:The development of post-DFT electronic structure methods has o
 ften evolved differently in the physics and chemistry communities. This ha
 s generally been a function of the applications which the methods have bee
 n applied to. However\, as the community pushes towards quantitative accur
 acy for systems where stronger correlation effects are present and must be
  accurately resolved for even qualitative features of the system to emerge
 \, what can we learn from the other field? In this talk\, we will try to a
 ppreciate the differences in perspective of both approaches\, and by takin
 g some of the most prominent examples of "physics" electronic structure (D
 ynamical Mean-field Theory and Variational Quantum Monte Carlo)\, see what
  can be achieved by recasting them in a form more natural to a quantum che
 mist. This will motivate new electronic structure approaches with favourab
 le properties by aiming for the best of both worlds. These will be applied
  to both lattice\, solid-state and molecular examples of strong correlatio
 n effects.
