Learner Reviews & Feedback for Density Functional Theory by École Polytechnique
About the Course
interacting electrons, and its applicability ranges from atoms to solid systems, from nuclei to quantum fluids. In this course, we introduce the
most important concepts underlying DFT, its foundation, and basic ideas. We will in particular stress the features and reasons that lead DFT to
become the dominant method for simulating quantum mechanical systems. The course is intended for students and researchers with
knowledge of basic quantum mechanics. No experience in simulation or solid-state physics is required. We try to give a conci...
