This is a ten-day tutorial / hands-on workshop on modern approaches to ab initio molecular simulations and materials properties in Berlin. We cover the basic and current developments in electronic structure theory based simulations, including: DFT and quantum chemical approaches, numerical implementations, advanced functionals (capabilities and limits!), electronic structure "beyond DFT" (including GW, TDDFT, many-body formalisms), molecular dynamics, and predictive multiscale approaches based on electronic structure theory.
| Format: | Mornings: | Three 60-minute lectures (keynotes by prominent guest speakers and specialist lectures by local experts) |
| Afternoons: | Hands-on tutorials to provide direct experience with the most important methods, with tutors from FHI and elsewhere. |
