An equal number of tutorials for discussion and problem solving are also scheduled during this time. The goals of the course are to provide the theoretical ground work necessary for research involving relativistic quantum mechanics. The course was originally taught last spring in Denmark at the graduate level ("Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Chemistry"). Topics to be covered include: "Classical" relativity, E&M, and quantization Relativistic quantum mechanics with the Dirac equation Four-component wave functions Quantum Electrodynamics Symmetry and double groups Dirac Hartree Fock and electron correlation Two-component wave functions Douglas-Kroll transformation Spin and spin-orbit coupling Perturbation theory Effective core potentials (ECPs) Further information, including registration materials, can be accessed via the Web at http://w3.pnl.gov:2080/quantum/index.html/ Specific questions can be directed to Kirk Peterson at ka_peterson -8 at 8- pnl.gov Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is a multiprogram national laboratory operated by Battelle Memorial Institute, under Contract No. DE-AC06-76RLO 1830.
