Propagator Theory of Atomic and Molecular Structure

  • Conference paper
The New World of Quantum Chemistry

Abstract

When I accepted the invitation to speak at this conference, the organizers suggested that the title of my presentation should read “Methods Without Wavefunctions.” Since I will present only some aspects of this subject employing the ideas of propagator theory, it might be appropriate to start this introduction with a few brief remarks on the general topic of methods without wavefunctions before concentrating on the central theme as given in the title of this paper.
