Molecular Quantum Mechanics/ Natural Sciences | |
 | University of TromsøThe University of Tromsø is the northernmost university of the world. Our location on the edge of the Arctic implies a mission. The Arctic region is of increasing global importance. Climate change, the exploitation of Arctic resources and environmental threats are topics of great public concern, which UiT takes special interest in. Studying and working at UiT allows you to explore global issues from a close-up perspective. |

| Programme description | Quantum mechanics is the theory of the micro-cosmos. This theory explains the behaviour of elementary particles, atomic nuclei, atoms, molecules, gasses, liquids and solids. Molecular quantum mechanics describes part of this wide-ranging field. In the research group the focus is on the electronic structure of atoms, molecules and solids. A central challenge is to determine approximate quantitative solutions for the Schr?ger equation (the fundamental equation within quantum mechanics). Taking these solutions as ones starting point enables, by means of statistical physics, examination of the characteristics of macroscopic objects. |
