Advances in Quantum Chemistry: Current Trends in Atomic Physics

Advances in Quantum Chemistry presents surveys of current developments in this rapidly developing field that falls between the historically established areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. With invited reviews written by leading international researchers, each presenting new results, it provides a single vehicle for following progress in this interdisciplinary area.

Publishes articles, invited reviews and proceedings of major international conferences and workshopsWritten by leading international researchers in quantum and theoretical chemistryHighlights important interdisciplinary developments
