Nitzan (chemistry, Tel Aviv Tel Aviv (tĕl əvēv`), city (1994 pop. 355,200), W central Israel, on the Mediterranean Sea. Oficially named Tel Aviv–Jaffa, it is Israel's commercial, financial, communications, and cultural center and the core of its largest  U.) provides graduate-level students background in diversified problems encountered in the dynamical processes in condensed phase molecular systems. He focuses on methodologies and analysis of key applications that underlie physical, chemical and biological phenomena in complex systems, reviewing the relevant mathematics, then covering quantum dyanics using the time-dependent Schrodinger equation Noun 1. Schrodinger equation - the fundamental equation of wave mechanics
Schrodinger wave equation

, quantum electrodynamics and matter-radiation field interaction, solids and their interfaces, liquids, and methods including time correlation functions, stochastic processes and equations of motion, quantum relocation processes, the quantum mechanical density operator, linear response theory, and the Spin-Boson model. Applications include vibrational energy relaxation Vibrational energy relaxation, or vibrational population relaxation, is a process in which the population distribution of molecules in vibrationally quantum states of high energy level caused by an external perturbation returns to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. , chemical reactions to condensed phases, solvation sol·va·tion
