The utility of quantum theoretical studies of molecules is now firmly established. Recent methodological advances have made a great variety of problems in the molecular sciences amenable to theoretical chemistry. Accurate ab initio quantum computational chemistry has evolved dramatically. Modern theoretical chemistry has opened a world of new possibilities. Computational quantum chemistry is becoming an integral part of chemistry research.
Theory can make very significant contributions to chemistry.
The philosophy adopted in our studies is that much will be gained if we, theoretical chemists, can devise theories and associated computational algorithms that can not only afford high accuracy but also insight into the problem in hand.
