The Fifteenth International Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics (QSCP-XV) will be held at Magdalene College, Cambridge, England from August 31, 2010 to September 5, 2010. This workshop, like the previous meetings in the QSCP series, will bring together chemists and physicists interested in quantum systems in molecular, nano and material sciences. The emphasis will be on many-body methods, innovative theory, computational realization, and applications.
The Workshop will include sessions on:
- Concepts and Methods in Quantum Chemistry
- Molecular Structure, Dynamics, and Spectroscopy
- Atoms and Molecules in Strong Electric and Magnetic Fields
- Condensed Matter; Complexes and Clusters; Surfaces and Interfaces
- Molecular and Nano-Materials and Electronics
- Reactive Collisions and Chemical Reactions
- Computational Chemistry, Physics and Biology
The Proceedings of the Workshop (with refereed full papers) will be published in "Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics" (Springer).

While Cambridge University celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2009, Magdalene College is almost 600 years old. The College of St Mary Magdalene is located in the centre of Cambridge, beside the bridge on the River Cam from which the city takes its name. It has its origins in the year 1428 when King Henry VI approved the establishment of a hostel on the site, for Benedictine monks coming from their abbey monasteries in the Fenland to study Canon Law at the University. Fifty years later the name of the institution was changed from Monks Hostel to Buckingham College. This was not long before lay students were admitted, paying rent to the host abbey. Thomas Cranmer, later Archbishop of Canterbury, was appointed lecturer at Magdalene in 1515. Recently a spectacular collection of medieval coins has been found at the edge of the College site. |
As during most QSCP workshops since Sofia (Bulgaria) and also at the ICTCP-IV Congress of Marly-le-Roi (France), there will be an AWARD CEREMONY for the Promising Scientist Prize of CMOA at the Banquet Dinner of QSCP-XV. If you wish to APPLY or NOMINATE a young scientist then please consult our web site: www.lcpmr.upmc.fr/prize.html, and send your application or nomination, preferably before June 16, to Philip Hoggan (), Cochair of QSCP-XV, with copies to Jean Maruani (), President of CMOA, and Erkki Brändas (), Chair of the Selection Committee.
