  1. Solving the Schrodinger Equation Accurately with Fewer Electrons: the Development of Coordinate-Dependent Pseudopotentials Benjamin J. Schwartz, Dept. Chem. & Biochem., UCLA 45988-AC,6 • Solving the Schrödinger Equation for many-e¯ systems is expensive; the number of e¯’s in the equation can be reduced by using pseudopotentials to treat some e¯’s implicitly • Unfortunately, pseudopotentials treat the implicitly-treated e¯’s as frozen, so that chemical bonds and other features of complex quantum systems are not accurately described • We have developed a new method that allows pseudopotentials to respond to changes in chemical structure and dynamics, effectively ‘unfreezing’ the implicitly-treated e¯’s. This method significantly descreases the computational time needed to perform quantum simulations of complex chemical systems in realistic chemical environments Standard (‘frozen e¯’) pseudopotential for the Na2 molecule at its equilibrium distance New pseudopotential that accurately reprod- uces the behavior of Na2
