Annotation -
The goal of the course to provide the PhD. students with a user-oriented overview of quantum chemistry with a pragmatic aim to apply the QC tools to assist experiment. Emphasis will be put on the theoretical support of various types of spectroscopies. The student will be able to use techniques of theoretical chemistry to interpret experimental data. At the user level, he will understand the concepts of quantum theory of molecules and statistical mechanics.
