These
lecture notes have been prepared to give an introduction into the foundations of
atomic and molecular physics with an emphasis on the interaction of these atomic systems
with light, and in more general, with electromagnetic fields. Topics covered
includes: Wave-corpuscular duality of photons and massive particles, Angular
momentum in quantum mechanics, Atomic spectra, simple models of atoms, Spin and
the fine structure, Many-body problems, systems of identical particles,
Molecular structure and spectra, Bose Einstein Condensation, Elements of
coherent atom field interactions, Atoms in Strong Fields, Photons, A quantum
paradox and the experiments.
This lecture note explores a wide range of techniques and applications in
molecular modeling and computational chemistry. Topics covered includes: ab
Initio and Semi-Empirical Quantum Mechanics, Molecular Mechanics and Dynamics
Simulation, Electrostatics, Coarse Graining Biomolecular Structure Prediction,
Advanced Electrostatics for Force Fields, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Monte
Carlo Methods.
