This spring, Assistant Professor Emilie Guidez co-organized and hosted the international workshop, “From ab initio Computations to Conceptual Insights into Bonding,” in Telluride, Colorado, from May 27–31, 2025.
The workshop brought together quantum chemistry scientists from leading universities and national laboratories across Europe, Asia, South America, and the United States. Over five days, participants shared the latest breakthroughs in the development and applications of advanced quantum algorithms for the qualitative and quantitative comprehensions of chemical bonds. By connecting diverse perspectives, the event fostered a vibrant, inclusive community dedicated to pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery.
