Abstract

This contribution provides a pedagogical introduction for mathematicians to the field of electronic structure calculation. The N-body electronic Schrödinger equation and the main methods to approximate the solutions to this equation (wavefunction methods, density functional theory, quantum Monte Carlo) are presented. The numerical simulation of the resulting models, the construction of electronic structure models for systems with infinitely many electrons (perfect crystals, crystals with local defects, disordered materials) by means of thermodynamic limits, and the modeling and simulation of molecules interacting with complex environments, are discussed.
