Conceptual Perspectives in Quantum Chemistry [E-Book] / edited by Jean-Louis Calais, Eugene Kryachko.
The rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full Ecclesiastes What is quantum chemistry? The straightforward answer is that it is what quan tum chemists do. But it must be admitted, that in contrast to physicists and chemists, "quantum chemists" seem to be a rather ill-defined categor...
