High-accuracy models in theoretical chemistry
Even today, quantum chemical calculations with experimental accuracy are only feasible for small molecules. This statement is especially true if the considered molecule is far from the equilibrium structure, where the overwhelming majority of quantum chemical models break down. The main purpose of this proposal is to d...

On Shape Dependence Of Holographic Mutual Information In Ads4
We study the holographic mutual information in AdS4 of disjoint spatial domains in the boundary which are delimited by smooth closed curves. A numerical method which approximates a local minimum of the area functional through triangulated surfaces is employed. After some checks of the method against existing analytic r...

A Connected Array Of Slots Supporting Broadband Leaky Waves
In this paper, we investigate the properties of a finite array of slots that support broadband leaky waves. The slots are etched on a ground plane located in the close proximity of a dense dielectric half space and each slot is fed at a finite number of locations. A quasi-analytical spectral procedure is presented, whi...
