New method knocks out stubborn electron problem http://phys.org/news/2012-07-method-stubborn-electron-problem.html Excerpt: Molecules have anywhere from tens to thousands of electrons, and the computational complexity of simulating their behavior grows exponentially with the number of strongly correlated electrons, those whose motions are statistically linked to the motions of other electrons. Mazziotti's goal was to find a way to calculate the properties of many-electron systems via a two-electron technique, where the two electrons represent the other electrons in the system. "The two-electron models provide a platform for exploring a whole range of chemistry and physics," Mazziotti said.
