Quantum Theory Project is among the world’s largest research centers for theory, modelling, and computation of complex, novel molecular and materials systems. We focus on the subtle, profound interplay of chemical and physical realism, develop quantum mechanical methods, implement them in innovative software, and apply them to challenging materials and molecules. We are a multi-disciplinary institute of the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, and Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering of the University of Florida. Founded in 1960 by Prof. Per-Olov Löwdin, we operate the world-renowned Sanibel Symposia. See the link above. Our current Director is Prof. John Stanton (Chemistry) and our Assoc. Director is Prof. Richard Hennig (Materials Sci. and Eng.).
2025 News:
Passing of Professors John F. Stanton and Henk Monkhorst. It is with profound sadness that we announce the recent passing of two esteemed members of the Quantum Theory Project at the University of Florida. We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of Professors Stanton and Monkhorst. Their dedication to science and education will continue to inspire generations to come.
