CCL: Reminder: Workshop on Electronic Structure Calculations preceding Fall ACS National Meeting at Philadelphia



Dear Colleague,

This is the last reminder about our workshop in conjunction with the ACS National Meeting in Philadelphia in August this year. The workshop will be held on the campus of University of Pennsylvania on Saturday the 18th, the day before the ACS meeting starts.  The workshop will consist of seminars and hands-on tutorials.  You will also have a unique opportunity to meet our academic contributors since many of them (Martin Head-Gordon,  Peter Gill, Anna Krylov, Joe Subotnik,  John Herbert, Ryan Steele, and many more) are also coming to the ACS meeting and holding a gathering on the same day.  We are purposely leaving the topics of the seminars open so that they can be decided according to your interest.

All workshop participants will receive a free four-month license for unlimited use of Q-Chem 4.0.  Please bring your own laptop computers for the tutorials.  The registration website is here:

Please indicate the areas you would like the workshop to cover and the developers you would like to meet.  We will do our best to make arrangements accordingly.  We have extended the deadline for registration to July 29th.

Q-Chem is a comprehensive ab initio package and the recent release of Q-Chem 4.0 represents the state-of-the-art of methodology from the highest performance DFT/HF calculations to high level post-HF correlation methods:

• Dispersion-corrected and double hybrid DFT functionals;

• Faster algorithms for DFT, HF and coupled-cluster calculations;

• Structures and vibrations of excited states with TD-DFT;

• Methods for mapping complicated potential energy surfaces;

• Efficient valence space models for strong correlation;

• More choices for excited states, solvation and charge-transfer;

• Effective Fragment Potential and QM/MM for large systems;

• Shared-memory for multicores and implementations for GPU's.

I apologize if you have received multiple copies of this message.

Happy Computing,
