CHEM 4060U – Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy

This course offers a modern review of Quantum Theory in application to Chemistry. Starting from basic principles of quantum mechanics, their use is illustrated for such exactly solvable problems as particle in a box and well, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotator, and hydrogen atom. Approximate methods are then introduced for more complex systems including those with many electrons. Relevant aspects of spectroscopy associated with each degree of freedom (vibrational, rotational, electronic) are discussed as well. Computational examples are employed throughout.
