Summary:

Drawing deeply from research in Italy, describes some of the recent advances in the computer simulation of condensed matter systems, including the quantum mechanics of many-particle systems, electronic properties in realistic electronic devices, thermodynamic processes, and chemical reactions. The methods used range through ab-initio molecular dynamics, quantum Monte Carlo simulation, self-consistent density-functional approaches, and classical molecular dynamics simulations. No index.
