Open Quantum Systems in Quantum Chemical Topology

Project funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (FCT), grant 2023.00844.BD. Runs 2023-10-01 to 2027-09-30. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2026-07-23); national funding data, not CORDIS. Abstract given by the source: The concept of the chemical bond connects physics, mathematics, biology, and materials science. However, despite significant advancements in understanding its nature, new discoveries continue to challenge existing chemical rules, and an update to the chemical bonding paradigm is necessary. One promising approach is to consider atoms or functional groups in molecules as Open Quantum Systems (OQSs) that can exchange particles and energy with their environment. This perspective allows for the study of chemical interactions in a more nuanced way than traditional approaches. The project aims to combine the theory of Open Quantum Systems with Quantum Chemical Topology to upgrade chemical bonding theory to meet the demands of the 21st century.
