A brief summary of the computational and networking facilities available through the Ohio Supercomputer Center will be given. The ongoing mission of the center is to provide computational facilities for Ohio beyond those available at individual universities and networking facilities of the highest caliber.
The basic mathematics of the quantum mechanics of electrons in molecules will be outlined with respect to the computational algorithms they require. The order of magnitude of each fundamental variable will be given as the computational methods are described.
Two applications are described: (1) to the transition giving the green fluorescence of the uranyl ion (UO 2 2+ ), which has extensive historical aspects, and (2) the photoluminescence of a lanthanide ion doped into a crystal, which provides a laser used for sending signals over optical fibers.
