Mathematical Methods in Quantum Molecular Dynamics

Abstract

The workshop on “Mathematical Methods in Quantum Molecular Dynamics” has brought together chemists, mathematicians, and physicists developing new mathematical methods for studying the motion of atoms in molecules and in reacting chemical systems. Thereby, the main focus was on dynamical properties of quantum molecular systems in many dimensions. The development of mathematical methods for quantum molecular systems is an intrinsically interdisciplinary field of research, whose progress can be improved by opening additional channels of communication between the different disciplines. The workshop has contributed to advance the exchange of ideas related to development of new methods as well as the creation of personal links between mathematicians and theorists in chemistry and physics.
