Methods, algorithms and computational tools development


Methods, algorithms and computational tools development

Here we focus on theories and algorithms devoted to account for electronic correlation, nuclear motion, quantum structure-activity, continuous symmetry measures, molecular modelling, variational state transition theory and magnetic resonance. Further developing of Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics and Brownian dynamics is also envisaged.
