Quantum chemistry and the quantum revolution
pp. 41-66
Abstract
The recent advances in the use of density functional theory (DFT) in quantum chemistry and in material sciences are considered from the perspective of the quantum theoretical description of the microscopic world. A viewpoint is presented on how to think about the quantum revolution and how to fit the DFT developments into it.
