Werner Kutzelnigg (10 September 1933 - 4 July 2019) was an Austrian-German theoretical chemist known for contributions to quantum chemistry and electronic structure theory.
Quantum context
Kutzelnigg worked on the mathematical and computational description of molecules, including correlation effects and orbital-based approaches. Such methods are central to practical solutions of the molecular Schrodinger equation.
His Quantum Collection context is chemical bonding, orbital hybridisation, and the linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals picture used in molecular quantum mechanics.
