Quantum Chemistry by Mark S. Gordon

This note deals with the basics of quantum chemistry, beginning with introductory theory and methods. It covers the Schrödinger equation, the Hartree-Fock approach, the use of basis sets and pseudopotentials. This, along with more advanced topics such as Density Functional Theory (DFT), multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) methods, as well as techniques for performing calculations for excited states, introduces solvation models, and global optimization methods, among other things, and discusses in some detail the GAMESS package in computational chemistry. The book provides a good framework for beginners, while advanced students can find appropriate theoretical backbones to support their practical quantum chemical research.

Advanced Quantum Chemistry by Patrik R. Callis

This note is concerned with the application of quantum mechanics to many-electron systems like atoms and molecules. Stationary as well as time-dependent states have been covered, emphasizing in particular electronic and vibrational states. The following topics have been dealt with: the necessity of quantum mechanics, properties of the wavefunction, kinetic energy, tunneling, and the variation principle. It includes applications of symmetry and group theory in quantum mechanics and incorporates them with the Schrödinger equation. It also includes time-dependent quantum chemistry-including propagation of density matrices and time evolution of probability distributions. The target of the note is aimed at those who seek to understand the complexities of many-body systems in quantum chemistry.
