Pseudopotentials and Reactions.

100 Years Hellmann (1903-1938)


Satellite Workshop of the
XIth International Congress of Quantum Chemistry

Bonn, Germany
Friday, July 25 / Saturday, July 26, 2003







Portrait of Hans Hellmann
(painted by Tatjana Livshits, Moscow, according
to a photo of Hellmann, taken while lecturing
on his theorem in Hannover in 1933)
 


Topics

Hans Hellmann, who was born just 100 years ago, and who is frequently cited for the Hellmann-Feynman theorem and the first textbooks entitled 'Quantum Chemistry', may be even more important scientifically for inventing
- the pseudopotential or effective core potential approach and
- the diabatic and adiabatic representations of elementary chemical reactions.
During this after-conference workshop, some modern developments in the fields of effective core potentials, of reaction theory and of the history of quantum chemistry will be highlighted.
