This workshop will honor the originators of the Car-
Parrinello method and review major accomplishments and
cutting-edge developments. The Car-Parrinello method,
introduced in 1985 by Roberto Car and Michele Parrinello, has
dramatically influenced the field of electronic structure
calculations for solids, liquids and molecules, and initiated
the field of quantum molecular dynamics. The seminal idea
was to deal directly with the total energy of the electron
system as a function of its degrees of freedom, namely the
expansion coefficients for the one-electron wave functions,
and treat these degrees of freedom on the same footing with
the ionic degrees of freedom.
Please note that this meeting is timed to coincide with the APS March
Meeting 2000 which is being held in Minneapolis March 20-24, 2000.
