04 Screensaver

 

Besides the exciting feeling
... that you are directly involved in one of the most promising fields of scientific research, you can have tremendous fun with our screensaver.

The screensaver
... shows the molecule which energy is calculated on your desktop computer right at that moment. You can rotate the molecule and zoom in and out; you get additional information on the molecule and why it is important to us.

A Snapshot:

1 A self-rotating, interactive picture of the molecule.

2 The name of the molecule, and why we are interested in this compound.

3 A legend of the atoms types shown in the molecule picture.

4 News, tips, info and more ...

5 For every simulation step the calculated energy is shown.

6 Account and workunit data.

More ... information is shown by pressing 'H'.

Summary:

Reactions between molecules are important for virtually all parts of our lives. The structure and reactivity of molecules can be predicted by Quantum Chemistry, but the solution of the vastly complex equations of Quantum Theory often requires huge amounts of computing power. In our project we want to aquire the necessary computing time to further develop the very promising Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method for general use in Quantum Chemistry.
