Molecules as electronically open quantum systems
To control chemistry we must understand it, and this requires a fundamental quantum mechanical description. Today we have a highly mature state of accurate quantum chemical modeling of molecules. A central assumption in these models is that the molecules have a fixed number of electrons, i.e., that they are electronically closed. Recent experiments show great promise for probing chemical understanding and inducing chemical reactivity by passing a current of electrons through the molecule. Hence, quantum chemical models which can treat molecules as electronically open quantum systems are urgently needed. The mission of OpenQuantum is to establish the field of electronic wave function theory…
