Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the forthcoming 2007 Minerva-Gentner Symposium on:
"Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory and Applications"
(see our website: http://www.fh.huji.ac.il/symposium).
SCOPE
Many of the fundamental processes in nature involve intricate dynamics of electrons in materials under complex circumstances. Time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is emerging as one of the most practical and accurate theoretical approaches for studying such systems. The success of TDDFT stems from an advantageous combination of rigor (being based on a formally exact theory of interacting many-body quantum systems) and simplicity (circumventing the full many-body wave function). The existing approximations involved in the practical application of TDDFT have already proven that the method is of great utility. However, there are still open problems, phenomena which are not properly described or understood.
The purpose of the symposium is to discuss the latest developments in time-dependent density functional theory, its implementation and its applications. The participants will focus on:
• Open theoretical problems challenging TDDFT approaches
• Methods of solution, in particular new functionals and approaches
• New implementations
• Novel/unique applications of TDDFT

SITE INFORMATION
The symposium will take place at the Hilton Queen of Sheba Hotel in Eilat, Israel, overlooking Israel's Red Sea Riviera, between December 16-21, 2007.
Located by the beach, with the blue waters of the Red Sea on its front and the Red Mountains of the Edom and the Negev on its surrounding, this luxury site includes a spa and swimming pool, where one can enjoy constant sun and mild winter temperatures (max. ~22C). Eilat, Israel's southernmost city, can be accessed directly by commercial flights.
A world-class series of speakers have already confirmed their prospective participation in the symposium. We look forward to welcoming you as well to this cutting-edge event, in this exciting location.
