The uncalculability of electron systems
Theoretical physicists of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics reveal limitations of Density Functional Theory using Quantum Information Theory tools
24-Aug-2009 -
The electric and magnetic properties of solids are impossible to calculate exactly: The complex interactions of the many electrons which underly these phenomena cannot be computed even by the most powerful classical computers. Here, the central task is to determine the ground state of the ...
