Kursinhalt / Course content:

This course should provide insight into the theoretical and practical aspects of electronic-structure theory. While the focus of this lecture is put on atoms and molecules, many of the discussed topics and methods are also applied in solid-state physics. An important idea is to complement the theory by concrete practical examples. While very simple approaches may (optionally) be implemented by the students using, e.g., MATLAB, professional electronic-structure codes will be used to obtain an idea about the possibilities of modern electronic-structure theory. As a result, the students should get an idea about the different levels of approximations used in the commonly adopted electronic-structure codes, the possibilities and limitations, and recognize the main strategy. Furthermore, the black-box character of professional electronic-structure codes should reduce to the computational tricks, but the main building blocks should become transparent.
