SUMMARY

This discussion highlights several valuable resources for learning about quantum chemistry and its applications in quantum physics and quantum computing. Key recommendations include the Wikipedia summary on quantum chemistry, Levine's "Quantum Chemistry" (6th ed., 2008) for its clear development of wave mechanics and perturbation theory, Atkins & Friedman's "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" (6th ed., 2011) for its insightful physical and mathematical treatment, and McQuarrie's "Quantum Chemistry" (1997) for its detailed derivations and problem-solving approach. These resources provide a comprehensive foundation for understanding modern quantum chemistry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with wave mechanics and operators
  • Knowledge of perturbation theory and variational methods
  • Mathematical proficiency for interpreting quantum chemical equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Wikipedia page on quantum chemistry for foundational knowledge
  • Read Levine's "Quantum Chemistry" (6th ed., 2008) for a structured introduction
  • Study Atkins & Friedman's "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" (6th ed., 2011) for deeper insights
  • Practice problem-solving with McQuarrie's "Quantum Chemistry" (1997) to reinforce concepts
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and professionals in chemistry, physics, and quantum computing who seek to deepen their understanding of quantum chemistry and its theoretical frameworks.

Does anybody know a good site on quantum physiks, and in particular quantum chemistry (modern chemistry) and quantum computers ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
First, there's a Wikipedia summary:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_chemistry

And then there are these introductory books:

Levine — "Quantum Chemistry" (6th ed., 2008)

Clear, step-by-step development of wave mechanics, operators, perturbation theory, variational methods...

Atkins & Friedman — "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" (6th ed., 2011)

Good physical insight and a clear mathematical treatment

McQuarrie — "Quantum Chemistry" (1997)

With detailed derivations and many solved problems great for self-study.
